I need to get rid of these runflats quick. The tires just don't hook up very well, and the tread feels wobbly if that makes sense.
Anyone running the 215/45 17 hankook RS3 V2s? Any rubbing?

On stock suspension should be no risk of rubbing.
Are the runflats worn?

Only about 400mi on them so far. They just don't hook up well enough for me.

215 on a 17x7 is going to be very meaty still. I run 215 on a 7.5 and it leaves absolutely no lip exposed.
I can stack them on each other and never worry that their lips will ever touch each other.
These are G-Force Rivals btw, same tire category as the RS-3 you're thinking of getting.

Those look suspiciously like the Z1 Star Specs
To the OP... yes that size should work fine.

Now if this whole "winter" would subside. I can't wait for the local "slush" round.

I'm finally thinking of getting these tires. I had a set of RE11 tires that were decent but need replacement now.
I should also specify that I have the JCW suspension. Comments relative to this tire and JCW suspension are welcome.
