bump, never did order new tires, just checking to see if anyone has some new reviews?
I need some new 15" tires like yesterday
Just put on a new set of Kumho Ecsta 195 50 15s. Very reasonably priced & very happy with the performance as everyday drivers. I have only used them in the dry.
The guys at Discount Tire in Spring, TX treated me right!

Not the best of reviews for you, Randy. But I have been running Hankook VENTUS V2 CONCEPT2

Since the Dial-in's were mounted. With an open-diff. and on the street they wear well and little noise ( remember I have 70D engine mounts so finding noises is a fact of life ). Great in all weather. Sticky enough for the out roads back from the BRP runs.
But you have glimpses of Noir and the rabbit-hole. Her next set are going to be Hankook VENTUS Z214

and a spare set of wheels. Don't think these would be good in rain.
I have heard extremely good reviews for Bridgestones RE002 as well.
How about Hankook rs3 in 195/50r15 or 205/50r15?

I am also looking for a road tire with less road noise, the middle gelin pilot I have in the car now are driving me nuts, they sound like a off road truck tires
BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2. Whisper quiet, unbelievable wet traction (even in light wet snow, don't ask) and EXCELLENT traction.
96 Montego, replacing a 95M... I miss: My running peeps in Tampa, running barefoot @ Clearwater Beach and First Choice BBQ, in Brandon. In So Cal I miss: The Malibu Canyons, CA 33 and In & Out Burgers ! I'm from Tampa, if I was from Tampa Bay, I'd be a fish!

And if you are hesitant about the Sport Comp 2s because of the tread wear rating of 340, thinking that it's an indication of them not having great grip, I assure you, they punch above their weight.
The only downside to them are their limited sizes for a 15" application. Which are 195/50 and 195/55.

Hey Phattie? 15X7 BBS? Dude, the 95M BBS are 15X6, did you get new hardware?

I got a set of Star Spec 2 and it's the only set of tires of mine that don't have the 65mph shimmy.
