New Tires - Hancook Ventus V12 evo K110
Just bought and had these tires mounted on my stock rims. I gotta say they drive great! OEM tires were Bridgestone Potenza RE050A.
I've had them on for 200 miles so far, they ride great, I can stay in Sport 2 mode all the time without the washboard ride. Corners and launches the same as OEM. I'll follow up with tread wear when I put on some miles.
Price? 1/2 as much. I have a bubble in my front, and one rear was wore down (a nail replaced the other few months back). So it was the same to get 2 OEM tires or 4 Hancooks.

I have been researching these tires for a while now, please keep us updated about them when you rack up some mileage on them.
here is a comparison with the Ventus's vs. some proven tires, good read.

I had these. They do give plenty of grip and ride comfort for the price, but I only had them for a little time (6,000 miles) as they bubble from even the slightest pot holes....
Then again, I live in Toronto... Winters kill our roads.
I had: 255.35.19 F and 295.30.19 R...
