Hankook, Wanli, Sumitomo, or Fuzion tires?

Which one would you choose?
I'm looking to spend around $300 for 4 tires

You can actually buy 17" tires for 300 a set? ****, I didn't know that was possible.

i had wanli s-1099 215/45/17. their pretty much yokohama knockoffs and made in china. IMO, their good tires. i was the second owner of them and the first owner liked them cause they were decent.

compared to previous bridgestone potenza RE950 VS Wanli S-1099... i liked the wanli better, but thats probably because they were 215 wide. compared to the 195 potenzas.


before i bought the wheels with these tires, i did some searching on google.com and i read a few threads on the mustang forums and they liked them and pretty much agreed there "one of the best bang for the dollar".

Have you ever considered Federal Super Steel 595?
They are some great handling tires for a great price.

With the list you have, I would go with the Fuzion (ZRIs I think) because they are a long lasting tire.

I dont think you are going to get 215-45s for 300 a set.

Here are some fuzion 215/45/17s that are 85 each which is 340 w/o shipping:

I had Sumitomo HTR+ for a couple years and they were pretty good tires. They were rated pretty high at one point on the Tire Rack survey. I did not think you could get a set for $300 though.

They're not on the list, but I would go with Falken Ziex ZE-512 $72 each at www.vulcantire.com. So $72x4 is $288 plus shipping which is just over $300.

Search your local shops. I know that I can get some 215/40/17 Nitto NeoGens for $322 mounted and balanced. It does help to have a guy you go to often so you can build raport and all that good stuff too. Plus, if you bring him enough business, maybe they'll be cool and let you pay up to a month later.

I like my Kumho tires... $300 a set is gonna be tough, but a little bit more may get you somewhere.
