Hankook Ventus V12 Tires
Anybody have any long term experience with these Korean PS2 copies?
Just ordered a pair from the Tire Rack to try on the rear as a replacement for my worn out Michelin PS2's after reading Car and Drivers tire test where they placed 2nd. Delivered price is less than half what they get for a new set of PS2'S.
At the price of $377.00 a pair delivered it seems worth a try. Worse that can happen is they suck, I burn them off in a week and replace with the Michelins.

I have the Hankook Ventus model that was the predessessor to the V12 on my Porsche and am very pleased with them - Huge improvement from the Pirelli's I had before.
I'm going back w/ Toyo Proxes on my E55 (just replacing rears as the fronts are fine) and would probably have gone Hankook if I was doing all four tires...I always run matched sets.

I have the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110s on the rear of my SRT6. I have thoroughly enjoyed them compared to my OEM tires. They have given fairly decent traction and handle well in both and dry environments. I have about 8k-10k miles on them (I'll have to go look at my records to know exactly the mileage when I put them on) and they still have a decent amount of tread left. I expect them to last for 15-20k miles total before they hit the wear bars. Well worth the investment.

i just got a set of these for my new 19's and it's been pretty decent. Although i've only gotten like 200 miles on it. but for 790 installed and balanced it's not bad at all.

Love'm!! Rides great and handles the same as stock re020 @ 1/2 the cost. Only had them put on a month ago and temps have been in 30's, not a great way to gauge a summer tire.
Ps- I had to buy 2 tires, one front and one rear, replaced all four for the price of two.

I had General UHP on my E46 M3...great tire for the price, just didn't do too well at the drag strip though. Don't know if the OP has considered Falken FK-452's if they even make the size he is looking for. These were my favorite tires by far since they were priced well, gripped well, and were quiet.
