I had the Hankook Ventus' in that size on my 05. Pretty good all around tire for the price.

I've liked my Hankook RH06's, they are grippy, have good life and look sweet. ran 275/45's Now 305/45's. Go to 1010tires.com, unbiased reviews, they are some of the top rated suv tires over toyo, bf, general, etc and well priced.

I have 305's on 20" AMR RTS (see my photobucket)...Falken's and AMR anything in 20's is damn heavy!(guessing 75+lbs) I'm goin with Nitto 555 prob, altho MAXXIS makes a nice performance tire I put on my Porsche. I'm thinkin of goin lower profile and maybe not as wide to cut wght...fact is, I need to spend some cash and get lighter wheel. Maybe just OEM SS wheel powded black...R/

You remember how my Falkens hooked that one night Colton? That's the only time I've ever had anything close to traction with a street tire...

Same here...in the 275/45R20 was able to get a 1.88 60' which was a .05 improvement over the Goodyear Fortera HL. Yeah, I know...not exactly a Pro Stock 60' but it is a quiet, comfortable street tire as well...

Yeah I do. That why when he said thats all he had in stock I wasnt too worried.

I have read some bad reviews on them, They seem to come out of balnce a lot? that was said by several people, And I swear I already have a little shake thru my steering wheel. Ive also heard bad things about the balancing machines at the midland discount anyway tho.
