The Ventus V4 sucks. Get the General A MAX or G Max or whatever they are called.

I love my Ventus tires so far. I'm running a 255/35/18 and they seem to grip pretty well. They seem to be quiet and were cheap at a little over $700 for 4 tires. They are a pretty soft compound and with 200 treadwear rating, are not likely to last too long but so far I'm happy.

the ventus mentioned in the last two posts are not the OPs tires. v4 seem to have a high wear rating and are more in the league of yoko avid envigors

i have the v12s and theyre a decent tire. unfortunately not all tires are the same and i do not have exp with the v4, and our experiences with v12s have no bearing on the v4s.

i had a set of 912s before i put my v12s on and they were decent tires, if you plan on using your car as a daily and nothing crazy. Kind of loud when they wear.

I have some Falken Ziex's the dealer got me. Maybe not that exact model but I've had mine almost two years ~22,000 miles. They are worn unevenly and cause a lot of road noise while driving probably around ~10,000 miles. Could just be my car, but I have my tires rotated and balanced on a regular basis with the alignment done as well. Just my .

^^^ i concur....i would never buy the Falken Ze912 again....lasted me 16K miles and were SHOTTTT !!!

I recently got the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 installed (Summer tire) and they are AWESOME !!!! got 6-8K miles on him and are PERFECT !!!

Also heard great things about Continental DWS and DW......
