what do you think about this new tire from Hankook?
I need mine replaced...

 

It's a brand new tire that just came out, so you won't have many reviews from people.

Only thing I can say about them is that they are All Season tires meaning that they are not good in the summer time and they are not good in the winter time either.

Depending on where you live, I would go with summer tires and change them in the winter time.

But that's just my opinion. I've never been a fan of all season's...

 

Understandable, but read the early reports on the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3. It is launching next month. I've been surprised by the third party feedback comparing their performance to summer tires, and plan on getting a set. Depending where you live summer tires may only be good for several months each year, as they really should come off when ambients are in the low 40's or less. Around Michigan, that's probably just about 6 months, which leaves a lot of time to be rolling around on dry, but cold roads, using up soft winter tires.

 

Comanche.. did you ever get them installed? I'm going to order the same ones today. As far as I can tell from the limited reviews and specs on tirerack they're pretty good. Not to mention I can't come close the to price with another brand. The local "Town Fair Tire" will have them balanced, installed and even do the alignment for a total of $645.. to add to that there is a $80 rebate on them from Hankook's website right now! $645 - $80 = $565!!! Holy S$%^

 

Hankook Ventus V12 are a great buy, check out the specs online.

 

I have to disagree. The V12's are not worth even the $102 they're going for on tirerack. For one the wear rating is WAY below the standard. They're only a 280 UTQG rating. All other major brands are a 500 rating. The guys at the local tire store who have sold many of them said those V12's will only last one year.
