what are these tires compareable to?

I would seriously reconsider that thought^^^

I went from the stock advans to these tires and they just suck to the bottom.

The ride is nicer and smoother but I gave up a ton on stopping distance and side wall stiffness.

Next up from me is the nt05 or the star specs.

EDIT: Dang someone posted before me...they are comparable to the azenis RT615

to a sticky fucking tire with higher thread wear that the rt 615, meaning is twice better that the 615!

BTW that is hell of a deal!

I just got NT05's and I love them. Came from Azenis RT615's and can say those tires were complete shit.

$99 is a great price for the Hankooks.Â* They are sticky, run quiet, and you can put over 20,000 miles on them.Â* I used to run the 235-17s as a street tire on my WRX wagon.Â* Â*They were just as sticky as the Michelin PS2 and Bridgestone RE070 - tires I've also ran on the WRX.Â* I ran R-compounds on the track and didn't run the Hankooks on the track.Â* They are not a track tire like the NT-05s.Â* Their sidewalls are not super stiff like the Nittos, Bridgestones or Yokohamas.Â* They also don't come in the standard EVO X stock size.

What a steal!!! May grab 4 just to have when the time comes. I had these on a Subaru back in the day and loved them for daily driving. Obviously they dont compare to the Advans but anything less than $250 each wont :)

Shipping kinda kills the deal, not that I need 235's anyhow.

Damn, now I find this... Anyone know if the Ventus RS-3 is planned for more sizes? I need 285/30r18 or 295/30r18. Anyone have feedback on the Ventus V12 Evo? Seems to get good reviews for a street tire.
