Hey so im looking to replace my stock tires with

Item Description Qty Price Ea. Total
225/50ZR17 XL Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105
Blackwall
for 2005 Nissan 350Z Base 2 $101.00 $202.00

Item Description Qty Price Ea. Total
235/50ZR17 Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105
Blackwall

Has anyone used these? I read some good reviews and some bad. plus i get this message...

The following tire you have selected has a higher load rating than the vehicle's Original Equipment (O.E.) tires. This typically results in increased ride harshness, which some customers may find undesirable.

any suggestions? thanks everyone!

Those are better than what your car came with, and the Ventus V12 Evo are AMAZING.

You're in a sports car, it's not like the ride will ever be "plush".

I agree with the comment about the Hankook Ventus V12 EVO.... they are AWESOME!!! I do a lot of mountain driving (including Tail of the Dragon in NC/TN) and these tires are very trustworthy. I also travel a lot for work, and they are quiet on the interstate. I wouldn't buy anything else for performance/summer use. I'm not sure how they are in snow/ice since we rarely see any where I am.

I've had them for 3-4K miles on my modded C5 and they're AWESOME.
