I was offered Hankkok tires on my first set of wheels for my G35 in 2003, but I freaked out because I had never heard of them. Now they have a better reputation and I would try them out. I am just a little in love with the Falken FK452 right now. I like the Hankook or the invo for replacement but the invo has a mushy sidewall

Wow, good to hear the Hankook tires, which I wonder if I make the good choice.

If you purchase before end of July, you get $50 mail in rebate.

4k miles on my 3GS......

Absolutely Fantastic set of tires (19 Hankook Ventus Evo 12)
A+ all the way...

BTW, Hankook is one of Korea's best tire companies.
