    Puttin' some meat back there Rob?
    Sounds like a good idea to me.
    I never had an opinion of Hankook before I bought some of their performance snow tires last year and so far they've been awesome.
    I know we'll see pics when you get them.

    Nice tires but you might lose traction with them. Your running into a ground pressure issue now. They do look great though.

    6/32" tread? who cares!? actually I think that's what mine came with anyway lol The 555RII's are molded to be like shaved 555R's with stiff sidewalls fwiw

    Rob, good find, but just a heads up - those tires have a 30 profile rather than the 35 profile you have on your car right now, and even though they're 10mm wider, they're going to be shorter tires, so your car's stance won't be quite the same & you'll lose a little bit of that 'raked' look as well as the slightly larger tires in the back.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
