Hankook Tire Options
 
I have been getting several PMs asking so here is what Hankook offers currently. Disclaimer: I can not give you any pricing, check with Tire Rack or your local retailer. I have been told we are working on run flat options for the C7 but nothing is available currently.

Here are some options for non-run flats in the new k120 summer tire.
Base
245 40 18 - ft- OE size
295 30 19 - rear
Z51
245 35 19 - ft - OE size
285 30 20 - rear - OE size
Or
255 30 19 - ft
305 25 20 - rear

For z51 there is a close option for all season in the new Noble2 H452 W rated. Not perfect but doable.
255 35 19 - ft
275 35 20 - rear

I have not run the calculations for OD, (overall diameter), on the non-OE sizes but they should be close.

Thanks, I put the OEM 285s on the rear 20x11 wheels today. They look great but that's about as narrow as one could go. Based on today's install the 275 you mention should work fine on the stock rear wheels...hope this helps.:thumbs:


I should also point out, to the thread addressing the closeout pricing on the older tire, for just a couple hundred more for the full set, the new version is definitely the way to go.

Glad I could help. Hopefully we will have the run-flats available soon.

Thanks for the info. No C7 yet for me, but I have been very pleased with the Hankook Ventus V12s I have on my C5 and would consider Hankooks on my next Vette.

I agree.. I have had two sets on my c6 z51 for about 40k miles total and they are an awesome tire. I just picked up a set of gumby rims last year that came with z51 Goodyear run flats.....

The hankook s were definitely an improvement over the stock goodyears that came with the car.

Next set will be hankook again.
