If we are willing to go SLIGHTLY off-size, there are Hankook Ion Evo tires. You would have to get 215/50/R17 because they technically dont offer the factory size. Good reviews, good price, efficient, and they have a rebate right now.
I have had 2 pairs of hankooks and multiple others. I think the hankooks are 90% the tire that the hakapelitas are for about half of the price.
I've had the Hankook Ion Evo AS on my SE for the last week. Much quieter than the Ventus S2 that were replaced. Really liking them so far. Same efficiency this week on my normal commute as the Ventus S2 were getting me.
45k on my ions. Probably have about 5k left. Will definitely be getting them again. They have been fantastic!
Happy to report I am now at 70,366 miles on the car, so about 28K miles have been driven on these tires. Tires are working well, with no complaints. No noise issues, they don’t seem to have gotten louder since day one. Grip is fine. Most important, unlike my OEM Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires… I’ve had no sidewall bubbles or other issues. I highly recommend these Hankook tires.
It's hard to beat the Hankook iPike. I've run them on every vehicle I've ever had...only time I've been disappointed is when I tried a different tire.
Because the RS-4 gives you tons of life and doesn't suck
I had Venus V2s on my old shitty mustang. They were decent though their performance in the wet left a bit to be desired.
I don't really like them. They slip in the rain or dirty roads.
Absolutely horrible.
They're slippery on every single surface whether it be tarmac or on the side of a mountain.
They're so bad I put mine for sale and nobody wanted them.
