I was introduced to the Hankooks about a year ago from my Fiance' and went on a very strong suggestion from my Dr. (He knows a Hanhook engineer). I love them. They grip well, the tread wears nicely, and they're very cost effective. They're like the sleeper tire.

Now I have the 17's in the garage on the stock '07 rims (psst for sale) only b/c we dropped the truck to a 2/4, and we upped the wheels to 20's. Still, put the 275/45/20Hankook tires on, and still no complaints here.

Hey Ben here is a pic of mine. I have a 3-4 drop with 285/60's and 255/60's. Not stock wheels but it might give you an idea of what it would look like with 17's.




And I still have your helmet. Pm me or give me a call if you still have my number.

I run a Nitto NT450 255/50/17 up front and an M&H Drag radial 275/50/17 on the back. I have a 3/4 drop. Can't really tell much difference eyeballing them.
