I am looking to get a set of tires too and seem like majority have positive things to say about the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110. I might get them this weekend. Right now Discount Tire is having a $60 rebate promotion for a set of four (good until Nov 30th).

hankooks are an awesome tire but they have really thick sidewalls. I had a 2353020 hankook up front and it fit more like a 255 because of the side walls are designed.

Well everybody is saying hankooks, but ive been running Falken's for years on all 5 of my SC's, from the 451-452 & currently running the RT-615 DOT track tire. I dont think that you can get a better performing tire for the money than this one. But then again I havent priced the hankooks, nor driven on one. 2cents. Im getting a new set this week. 235/35/19 & 275/30/19 $700 mounted OTD.

Hankooks for stretching. I have Falkens and they don't hold air. If I put 235's on
9.5's, they go flat, same with 215's on the 8.5's. But when I put 235's on the
8.5's they hold just fine. I think the Falken design is a true low profile tire with a
better rubber compound which doesn't allow the same stretch ability as, let's
say Hankooks and Nankangs. So for performance, I'd say Falken 452's, but for
low stanced vehicles that need stretch, go for the Hankooks.
