Tire Recommendation?

[schnellman]

There's a big difference between buying cheap and buying smart. Buying a tire because it's expensive just doesn't make sense. Buy based on the experience of others and you won't have to learn the hard way.

Again I really don't know why people would try to squeeze every penny when it comes to tires and brakes. Buy cheap buy twice.

I spent an hour doing a broader search on the internet re Hancooks. Looked at other car forums besides boxster. A few negative, but overall many positive reviews and user reports. To avoid replacing the rears every 6000 miles, calculated compromises may be necessary.

If pillow soft for one driving style may be crap, for another it could a be just the right tire - (I'm thinking semi-spirited driving around the pothole minefields here in Toronto).

ekam,

what did you tell tire rack to get your tires replaced/refunded? i just bought 3 sets of these tires. however, on one set, the rear ones on my second car, it makes a LOT of road noise. therefore, perhaps they are defective? was hoping that tirerack will replace them.
