Default Tires ?

Is anyone running 245/45 17 Hankook/Ventus Sport K104 tires on their '01, '02, or '03 GT? If so, have you had any problems with them? Mine are starting to wear unevenly on the outsides. I have performed the usual alignment and rotation, with no help at all. I have 10K miles on them. Also, they handle the roads very poorly, with a lot of road noise. Actually, unbearable road noise that my wife notices.

Thanks, Tap

Well they are just bottom line tires, I dont know that I'd expect much from them. Did you get them froma wheel/tire package on ebay or from an actual tire dealer? If you got it from a dealer take it to them and show them what its doing just make sure you have documentation of all the rotating/balancing youve done and they should take care of the problem for you. Good luck.

How much are you wanting to spend? I bought my Falken Ziex tires for $140 a piece. They are in my opinion, the best street racing tire not considered a drag radial. One of the few that actually react to heat. I cut a 1.87sec 60ft on them. If someone has cut a better short time than that on street tire with no suspension mods let me know. Thats my vote now and forever

Sounds like tire pressure to me. Do you mean on both outside edges of each tire? If so you need to give it more air so it fills out the middle more. If you mean it's only wearing on one edge then maybe you just need an alignment.
