Hankook tires for stock tC rims?
I keep hearing that Hankook makes some pretty good tires, and the price isn't as bad as other popular names? What is the name of the best summer tire tat Hankook makes for stock tC rims? How does it compare to the Potenza?

they aren't bad for the price. i have the ventus RS-2's and they are almost bald. i can probably get another thousand miles for so before i get a new set. i got the tires back in june and put almost 11K miles on it. pretty much better overall than the re92's. the only downsides are that they wear much quicker than the stock tires and that they are a bit louder.

I have ventus 405's hr II's on my mr2. I got them because they are sporty and fulfill all my spirited driving while maintaning awesome treadwear. I will also run them in autocross, and not care about the 4 second accumulated difference I could gain from "true sports tires".
Also, compared to the stock potenza's on the tC (g/f owned), the hankooks are much quieter and feels "smoother", something I didn't expect considering in my 2.

They should. I have 205/45/16 in front and 235/40/17 in the rears. I'm sure they would make 215/40/17. If not, a 225/40/70 would still be ok, as long as you aren't in much snowy weather.
