Hankook V12 evo's
After much research online (incl MBWorld) , and the compelling comparisons in Car and Driver, I sucked it up and bought a set online and had them mounted today.
Not a whole lot of consumer feedback, despite the interest generated by the CnD comparison, so I will check back in and share my experience after I have put them through some turn and melted some tread.
BTW - first post after years of lurking.
On my second C-class and completely into the studs from Stuttgart

joel

I just replaced all 4 tires at 15,000. the hankooks rock. grip is improved. ride feels better and they are the same db ( noise level ) or better. And the price is great.

I just ordered the hankooks after reading the same article in C&D. Tire rack did not have many reviews but I'm having them installed this Wed. My rears are almost completely bald at 15k miles. Hoping these will last longer...

I had Falken 452s on my last C, and loved them.
I made my first 52 mile commute this morning and was very satisfied with the ride, the stickiness and the low noise.
All signs point to a good tire so far.
I would not count on long treadlife, which is why the price is so nice.
I'll have to replace the back two in about 12-15K, but I can deal with that.
The Cont's that were OE were all weather tires, and living on the Gulf Coast I like summer tires year round.

I'm having Nito Invo on right now. Both grip and noise level are ways better than Conti Sport 2. I would also like to try Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta and Hankook as well. Any comments?
