OK, it's time I start shopping for tires. I was lookin at these 2, do any of ya'll have any feedback on them?
These are some Falcon tires that the guy at the store mentioned.

These are the Hankook tires that were being talked about a little bit ago.

I don't remember hte exact sizes, but I know they were different for the front vs rear.
I'm also open to other suggestions.
BTW, my rims are 17x8

I'd rather stick with a more performance oriented tire ... I need something that's going to hook on the streets. I'm not expecting miracles, but as it is now, 1/2 throttle from a light will roast them.

These are the tires I'm running on my 17s.

They handle really good, but like the other ones that have been posted, they are made of a harder compound and don't hook well. This is my second set, and I've gotten alot of miles out of them. My next tire will be the top level falkons on some 17x9 rims. My buddy has an older truck with the similar setup and he hooks hard on the street.

Hankook's are very well made tire's for the price. I have some Hankook 245/40/20's on my truck. They wear like iron which you know mean's I have very little traction out of the hole. But they handle great. I'm in the market for tires myself right know and I'm diffently am going to go with the Hankook's this time on the front but something else out back....Maybe some G-force or..what do you guy's think?
