After mods I had no traction on my 300ZX TT. I did some research and Hankook Ventus EVO's were very highly rated by Consumer Report and several other sources. I bought a used set of Rays 19" forged rims and put Hankook Ventus Evo 245x19x35's on front and 275x19x35's on rear. World of difference. I was a little worried about a harsh ride with the 35's but they are fine. They are not noisy at all. This is my first season with them so I can't speak about the wear. They are about 2/3 the price of more well known brands. I got them through Discount Tire Direct. Free shipping and they give you an $80 AMEX gift card if you buy a set of 4.
