Hi guys I am in desperate need of tires. And I need them right now, tomorrow tops. I found this locally so I am just wondering if I am getting a good/OK tire or absolute crap. I just need something to get me to the end of the summer.

They are a R compund tire. Soft, not much tread depth when new, and won't last very long, but can be used on the street. The tire is now discontinued.

Hankook Ventus Z211
Hankook's entry into the competitively priced R-compound tire market is the Ventus Z211. This tire is designed as an autocross tire with emphasis on both wet and dry traction for use on street and track. The asymmetric design features a large continuous tread block on the outer shoulder and large non-continuous water sipes on the shoulder. Two circumferential rain-groove elements help straight-line traction for street use.

Guys what do you think is a better buy: Bridgestone potenza RE 030 or General Exclaim UHP. The price is the same and both are brand new. Everyone seems to say that bridgestone are shit but there are mixed reviews on general exclaim. They are just in my price range and I need new tires by the end of July. Taking a 12 hour trip and my tires rigth now are so bad, it is not safe to drive on them any more.

UHP all the way

UHP destroys 030 in tire rack survey results, as well as UHPs have the most miles reported of all the tires in the survey.

UHP is ranked 5th, 030s are ranked 32nd

Plus, I bought a set of UHPs as well, so im a little biased, but you'll find they are suggested by many on here.

thanks I never knew there was that kind of a rating on tire rack. I found those tires for 140$ CDN/tire so I guess I will go for it. I just don't want them to be noisy. How do you like them woot427?

don't have them on yet. Running Toyo Proxes 4 (all season) right now with the OEM 5 spoke wheels...

Getting a-spec wheels shortly and they will be wrapped in the UHPs...i bought them based off of recommendations here and by those survey results on tire rack.
