Whats up fellow members.
Pictured below are a set of potentially new Hankook Ventus G high performance tires. As these are not even in production yet, I would like to get the publics opinion on tread design, over design, etc.
Your opinion will be noted to Hankook Tire Corp.
Let me know, thanks

Need any more detailed pics, let me know
I am still searching for correct 18inch rims as I do not own a set of 18s at the moment.. but as soon as I do, I want to test them out.
No tread grooves for rain so that will be interesting.
thank you guys

This was posted in MOTORSPORTS as well, but Tire & wheel might get great opinions as well. MOTORSPORTS forum has those hardcore guys, but I would like opinions also from the norm, like myself :cool:

Wet traction might be compromised, but siping could help that.

Personally I like the way they look. What're the specs?

If it is not a rain tire then how come it has so much void area?

They look like they target the Nitto crowd.

I agree with the motorsports guys.
Who cares what it looks like, I want a performance tire.

I got it.

1. Charge exorbitant amounts for this tire.
2. Discounts on Z212's for everyone!
