Purchased at Discount Tire. They met the price that I found on www.rimsntires.com . I printed out the prices from rimsntires and took the print-out down there and they met the price. In the last couple of weeks I have bought three sets of tires for three of my vehicles from them and they met the lowest price that I could find. They say that they will meet any legitimate competitors advertised price and I have found that to be true. Of course they did cut me a little slack because I purchased three sets of tires and one set of rims.

Really a sharp looking Roadster. Wheels & wider tires in back really set it off.

I really like the tread design and in my opinion they make the Fire look pretty aggressive. Also the price was very competive to other tires.
Love the wheels and the tires look great as well.
Very aggressive looking tread. Keep us posted on how they perform. I have the Mich PS2's and while I love the performance on dry roads, and they have been OK in rain, I'm going to want some tread on my next pair so that I have alittle more confidence in wet / snow if I have to be out. Also, let us know about road noice and shock absorb feel of the tires. The PS2's are hard and you feel the every bump. I don't really want a touring tire, but something in between.

Thanks for any future feedback.

You might want to check out the multi-posts on Gary's (VALKRYDERGUY)thread entitled GREAT TIRES - Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110. There is a lot of info on these tires on that thread.

I'm a new owner with a red roadster like yours, 05 with 32k on it. Love the look on your car. Time does tell, any issues or regrets with your decision and did you need spacers? Like to copy if you don't mind (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery). Would appreciate any advice.

I love the tires and rims. The rims do not need spacers and are the closest offsets to stock that I could find. See post #11 for specs.

Nicely done. Excellent choice and they look REALLY good on that Red Roadster!

I'll keep my TSWs for now, even though they are beat up a bit.

I DO really love the Hankooks though... much quieter than the Advans I had... even when they were new.

They are real close and as close as I could find. The lip on the front is not very large, but the rears are wide. I gave up some on the front to get close to the original offset.


Original Factory Offsets for Crossfire

FRONT:
18x7.5"
5x112
ET 35 (offset)
225/40/18



REAR:
19x9"
5x112
ET 22 (offset)
255/35/19



My Offsets

225/40 18" front
18 x 8 TSW Snetterton Chrome Rims 32 offset


275/35 19" rear
19 x 9.5 TWS Snetterton Chrome Rims 20 offset
