Hankook Ventus V12 evo

[Col]

Just interested if anyone here have tried these. I don't know much about them.....yet, but I have run other Hankook tyres on different cars and always liked them. I have a feeling they're pretty pricey? They do them in 195/50R15.
Any feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Col

Looks ike a good street tyre. All depends on your requirements for your tyres. Daily A to B car, motorsport, other? Looks very similar to Kumho KU31. Just looked at Hankook's website, the RS-2 looks good also.

Price?

Try the Bridgestone Bathurst Pit Special XU21 GTR. Just kidding - what a long name for a tyre!

Thanks guys, looks like the V12 may not be available. According to the Hankook bloke, their RS tyre is more suited to track use? Their Ventus S1 is what they recommend as a performance tyre also suited to everyday driving, but at around $220 ea, I think the Yokohama C-drives are looking pretty good at around $150 ea. I've probably got another 6 mths driving on the Michelins before I need to make up my mind.

Tirerack over in the US stock top-of-the-line Hankook, and they will ship Internationally.
They are heaps cheaper unit-price wise, and if shipping is not a killer, you may end up getting great tyres for a decent overall price.

Mmmmmmmmm Tirerack hey, could be worth an email. I guess freight might be the killer.
Thanks 1red5, I'll let you know if I decide to go that direction.

dont forget to add in 90 bucks for fitting and balancing plus another 100 if you have not had a wheel alignment in a while
