Need Tires for 360

do a search there was just a thread on this a couple weeks back..
go to tire rack - they have a list of suitable tires for the 360..

Hankooks have a silly sounding name but are actually great tires for a stellar cost savings also.. I may try them next go around.. I have them on the wifes BMW now & they look/perform great, so do not count them out in your tire hunt..

I am kind of pessimistic about the price. Are they a quality enough tire to handle 100+ mph cornering and what not? Driving to and from the grocery store is one thing but driving around like I stold my car is a whole nother story

 

Thats funny Actually they may delaminate at speeds over 60 .. Just put on 4 and love em so far. Reviews are excellant and actually to some better then the pirellis as far as stickiness and noise leval Ask the tire pros They love em. Just because you dont have to see a kidney to own en dont write em off so quick.

 

I put hankooks on my CS......they are great tires! I spoke to Tire Rack as well as a handfull of independents and they all spoke very highly about them. I figured Id give em a go at 1/2 the price of Pirellis and Bridgestones.

I really think its the name that people react to & not the idea of a great tire for a $$$ cost.

As I said & the two current reviews on ferraris... They look great & perform great.

I would also bet my wife drivers her 745 harder to work each day than you will drive the 360 My local BMW garage will back that statement up also

Go look at one before you knock it. Pretend it has a name like Astroflight 2000 instead of plain old Hankook.

 

I also put on Hankooks when I got the CS wheels, and can attest they are great, and a steal.

 

Yes. And very, AMAZINGLY, quiet. Smooth ride. Great dry traction (never drive in the wet).

 

yes, quiet and smoother than Pirellis and bridgestone IMHO

 

I have heard enough. I just ordered a set from Les Schwab today!

 

V12 very quiet

 

Just put new PZero's on my 360. They were quite "proud" of their tires -- $1690 installed. Haven't been the track yet, but assume they'll be good as I've had good experiences with Pirelli's in the past.

Has anyone try the new Continental Extreme contact DW or DWS?
Looking to put a new set on my Strad wheels.
Thanks

 

Hankook is a big F1 sponsor now

 

Hankook is an unfamiliar name but so was Samsung at one point and now they have taken over the flat screen TV market with their quality and high performing products. Hankook might be close to getting to the same place in tires. I would also consider Continental DW (not DWS - those are all seasons) but they do not have the right size fronts.

 

My car has Kumho's and they're fine for street driving. If you're not tracking your car, and I've tracked all my toys EXCEPT the Ferrari, I'm of the belief that you can get by with just about any decent performance tire. Even if you're driving your car hard on the street, you're probably pushing your tires 1/10th of what you would on a track day.
