Just got these for my commuter and love them. I know of others that purchased them and were really happy plus the rebate they have.
And yet another vote for the Conti DW. I run them on the FR-S and I'm very happy with them.
Can I sugest the Continental Extreme Contact DWS? I have them on my GTO and they are suprisingly awesome, and they wear very well, especially when you consider the weight of my car (3,700lbs). Almost an all season tire with Ultra-high performance grip.
I have Conti DW in 225/40-18s and love them. Tirerack has them for $144/ea right now. 340 AA A I've also owned Mich PS, PS2, Conti DWS, and P Zeros in this size.
I have the Continental Extreme Contact DW tires and have no complaints. Good price. Good grip. Comfortable.
For all season , Continental Extreme Contact DWS are great, kinda weak sidewalks though.
Saw a Subaru and two Jeep Liberties in ditches today. My lowered, traction control-less and ABS-less Mk.III on studded Hankooks did just fine.
I will say that the Hankook iPike W409 is a great tire. They're very similar to the old Nokian RSi tire, which is a good thing. I'm on my third set of them, studded this time. They'll go through anything.
The Hancook's on my car are quite noisy on uneven surfaces.
I 100% disagree with the Hankook Ventus Line. A directional summer tire? Absolutely pointless. AND a semi-slick? It doesn't make sense. They have water diversion channels. As the front of the water channel encounters the water, it shoots out the side in such a way that the tire is allowed to keep maximum efficiency. But what's the point of that on a summer tire? Hankook has taken a hit in their R&D department, their rep who brought us the RS-3 about 2 months ago said that they used the same radial belt design, while only changing the dynamics of the road encounter.
