Ive gone through 2 sets of hankook v12 and loved them. Hankooks hook well, they are known to make very grippy tires. Downside they don't last long.

I just bought a full set of Pilot Super Sports. They cost an arm and a leg. But, I am really happy with them so far. They are suppose to last a really long time and the look great.

Conclusion, pay less, grip well and change more often or pay more, grip better and change less.

Just installed Yokohama Advan V105's. Best I've had so far. Too soon to give any wear results, but they are really sticky.

IMO not a good comparison. The Micheline cost double than Hankook. If you are in budget like me..... Hankook is the best. I even run the General BHP tires in my W211 and Hankook in W210. The General tires are actually not that bad for $120 new 285/35/18 !

my 55 has Potenza RE760's and have been very happy and great price. on the 63 wagon i have PSS and they are damn nice - grippy - love to see if they really last 30K miles like the warranty says - LOL - down to 6/32 and only have 16k on them.

If ur wheels r staggered that 30,000 is cut in half to 15,000. Got 9-10,000 miles out of my last set and used tread warranty for new ones
