My 275-60-15 Hoosier Quick Times are toast and I was going to replace them next spring but my brother in-law bless his little heart bought me some Hankook 275-60-15 Ventus H101 radial tires for my birthday. I have Hankooks on my truck and Chevy Equinox but never thought about using them on a performance car. Reviews are all good but nobody is using them on anything with real HP or torque like I have in my 470. Does anybody out there have any experience with this tire ? I don't want to upset my brother in-law but I don't want tires on the Regal that can't handle its power levels or give me good traction when I use the gas pedal. Any thoughts will help.

Check Tire Rack - seems to be a good tire similar to the popular RADIAL T/A's, speed rated to 112. They are a street tire and not like your Hoosier Quick Times (DOT drag tire.
I had a WE4 with about 500 HP and anything less than a genuine drag radial was worthless. Hankooks are good tires but, don't expect any street traction.
Thanks for the replies. You told me what I was afraid of. I suppose I could mount them and turn the 470 loose on them with all 570hp,575lbs.ft. Frequently enough to burn them up fast and then get something more appropriate. Roger On The Eighth Day God Created Buick
That's what i would do. I am running those on my car but it's nowhere near the power you're putting down. They are a nice driving tire.
