I agree. 4drpower, see what I posted in the other thread.
The RH07's come in 235/55R18, not 235/50R18 (link (http://www.hankooktireusa.com/product/RH07.pdf)). Accordingly, these are taller than the stock fronts, and at that, almost an inch. Considering this and the fact that the RH07s are V rated (softer sidewall), I'd recommend against them as they will have significantly more deflection than the stock tires and consequently poorer handling.

Can't think of anything other than poor responce on overall performance of a perfectly good car as it is....???

It would make the fronts look less small and goofy compared to the rears-- I don't like the stock bigs and littles look on a gigantic 4 door car either. It's not a plymouth prowler.

Personally, I wouldn't trade handling for looks.

Hello I am running that size and like the way it handles and rides. I have drive up to 125 mph and no concerns. I do not use this tire for auto cross I put the stock size rears back on the front I picked up some Mustange wheels. The brand I am using is a yokohama YK520 with a 60 K warranty on wear and UTQG 520AA and speed rating of V. I paid $155.00 each. I see now on the discount web site up to $185.00. I have been running this Tire for about 10k and have worn less the 1/32 on the front of my car with rotating side to side every 3k with oil changes. I also have the same tire on my wife c70 Volvo and after 12k miles tire are one about 2/32 and no concerns in wet weather. I hope this information is helpful. I like the look and for every day driving ride is great.
