Tire decision...opinions
OK so I am looking for new tires. I will more than likely use these for street and track(autox and TA) I am on a semi tight bugdet as there are other thing I want to buy.... so far Ive got these 2 cant decide between, thorw in other IF they are in a similar price range..
First is the HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO; the reviews are overall good and they seem better than the RT615 for everyday driving and most likly will last longer

Second is the FALKEN RT-615 they seem alot better for grip but I hear they wear quick.

Another note is the Hankooks come in the size I want 245/40/17 while the falkens would be 235/40/17.......
thought?

rt615 will be pretty expensive to be used on the streets.. hankook should do for you. but if you can spend a lil bit more, dunlop direzza z1 very good autx tires and not so bad for daily use. tirerack i think had the best deals on those so far..
235 will be a safer size not much worries of rubbing, but your not going for a 45 aspect ratio on your 17s?

Forgot to mention I have 5zigen fn01rc 17x8 +35
I like the dunlops but Im not gonna dish out the extra bread..... $400-$500 shipped would be my spot.
and for aspect ratio I just dont want a bigger sidewall to avoid rubbing and my curent tire is close to my filter guard.
