Your experience - Tires on a Budget 215-45-17's

I am getting lots of mixed messages from the board, some applaud Falkens, others say they suck? Some say Coopers are cool, and again others say they suck. So can you post your OFF SHORE tires and your experience?

Hankook
Nankank
Cooper
Riken

Thanks

I sell the Hankook V4 ES. I don't have experience with the 3 other brands.

I do sell a lot of the Hankook Ventus V12 K110, they get excellent reviews. Once the Car and Driver test here back in 2009, with their excellent review they have been a top mover. Our test wasn't as glowing, but they are not bad for the $.

The General Exclaim UHP is great for the closeout price of $79 ea. These are made in either France or Brazil.
