Tire info?

[96TAragtop]

hey there,

Im looking for detailed info on a particular tire brand I just bought. They were a good deal, but I cant find anything on them anywhere. The closest I have gotten is 'no up to date info currently'.

I was wondering if KenC or someone has some good resources at their disposal to help me out?

The tire: Visa, VK-50G HRB

Thanks in advance!

I bought a set of those for the '94 Z28 I just aquired. They look nice & have been wearing well. Traction seems OK for a cheap street tire. Rain traction is very good.

I'm not sure, but I think they may be made by Firestone (I just picked that up through the grapevine... not sure about it).

Not a bad tire for $50.00 each (245/50/16)

OH, no, sorry- They weren't for my T/A. Heck, that would be a STELLAR deal on 245/50/16's! They are actually for my wife's Hyundai. We have aftermarket chrome wheels on it. The size of the tires in question are 205/50/15. They're H rated "performance" tires. Im just trying to find more info out about them, to see if I'll be needing to swap them out for the factory tires/wheels for winter.

Thanks Gord!

I found following on a website:

Falken Tire Corporation also distributes the VISA Associate brand. These low profile, high performance tires are available in the most popular sizes!

Under Tires / Archive it lists the VISA tires but doesn't mention who makes them.

Hey, thanks! That is definitely getting me closer- Though it still doesn't tell me the nature of the tire other than 'high performance'. 'High performance', is a very relative term- especially when referring to a 105 hp Hyundai 2002 Hyundai

Thats the best info Ive found yet, along with 1st hand reports from Gord.

Thanks folks!
