I was running Nitto NT01 245/45R17 on flik FTD 17x8 et35. the original setup on the kw v3's left me with a rub on both fronts so I had to raise it up a half inch. Otherwise, I was very pleased with the tires/set-up.
I like them a lot, actually. As you've undoubtedly found out, they're one of the few reasonably priced tires that are also rated for our EVs (and by a good margin, too). I've been running ours since August of last year, and even though the EV is our 3rd vehicle I have had ocaision to run it @ ~75-80mph for extended periods of time out to Tucson and back on the interstate, through slush and standing water during the winter storms we've had this year, and everything in between (we don't get snow around these parts) and it's really been a smooth, quiet tire. I have Koni reds on our van, so it handles OK, but, I think the strength of this tire is its volume (read comfort) and long-wearing tread.
Compared to the stock 18s, I'm quite pleased to announce that the 22s actually ride as nice if not better. Part of this may be their 73lb/corner weight (not much over stock but still not as light). It floats a bit more than stock, but even with the low-profile tires, its not harsh.
i am actually running the same exact tires and they are not the best on dry ground,( remeber they ARE SNOW TIRES) but for the few experiences i had with them one snow it was awsome. great traction
No complaints. Not too soft for dry days and they get the job done in the snow just fine.
They suck on dry (to soft)...but when I got them in the snow...They are awesome..
I just started using Hankook W404s and they are amazing in the snow!!
This is the second driving season I've had them on my car and I don't have any complaints Great tire for the money...
I was going to buy Nokian summertyres but because they don't manufacture 205/45-16 size and 205/50 would have been too high I decided to try Hankook Ventus K102 cause my friend recommended them for me. They are not bad compared to how cheap they are and will last MUCH longer than for example GY F1.
a side wall bubble is dangerous.. make sure if you plan on driving on it for a period of time to keep you tire pressure perfect if not a bit lower then the factory suggest.. my wife had a small bubble and over inflated a few 5 PSI and blew it out on the highway 10miles later.. you never know when they are going to blow so try to get a new tire ASAP..
