Question about running Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110

Papa13 · 04-14-2010, 02:05 PM

I just talked my girl into getting these put on her Cheese class Benz so I could try them out, and low and behold I dig them a lot, they feel very solid. They made the benz feel better, can you believe it? I know I was impressed and they are rather cheap. So, now the big boy questions. Are these tires sidewall tall and wide or short and narrow? Will I rub? Need help guru's..

I am running VMR 18 inch CSL's staggered and I'm dropped on h&r sport springs. Right now I am just running the stock Dunlop run-flats.

I want to run 225 front and 255's in the rear. Without rubbing of course. The tires are Ventus V12 evo K110.

Thanks for any knowledge on these tires.

Your results may vary depending on how much drop, and what your offsets are.

I running that set up and it's OK. I'm not thrilled with them, but not against them either. The seem a bit noisy at times. As for their shape, they seem to be rather square in the shoulder.

they offer really good value for the price. the dry and wet performance are quite amazing and compare very well to the much more expensive tires. at about $650/set of 18", you really can't go wrong with these!

Are they know to have a square sidewall or a more rounded sidewall like the falkens and toyo's?

They looked pretty square to me and I think it will rub if the tire doesn't run small and have a curved sidewall.

Just ordered mine from Tire Rack. $609 shipped and they are offering a $50 mail-in rebate until the end of April!

what's the largest size we can safely mount on the stock 18" wheels??? (264's i think)

ptack · 04-15-2010, 12:49 AM

Depends on how much rubbing you like. I have 2 barely used 265s sitting in my garage if anyone would like to buy them (1/2 price).

Jcrewsn · 04-15-2010, 01:07 AM

i don't want any rub so maybe 255/35 or 40? or just stick with 245/40
