Tires Hankook or Continental

Ran the V12's on my 951 for over a season of auto-X and track days - they were pretty monstrous, especially for the price. Wet grip was amazing too. Like many here, I'd stand behind the Hankooks!

I'd go with the V12 out of those choices. I had them on my GTO and they were pretty good for the money.

Another vote for the Hankook's have them on my 911 and love them.

Ventus V12 is a really good tire. Feel great after a few thousand miles and some of the tread is gone. If you are at stock ride height and wheel ET I'd go a bit wider to 235/40 X 18. Better traction and higher handling limits.

I had the V12 evo on my GTI and M3. They were good for the money IMO.

from my personal experience with other Hankook branded tires and what I've read online, those V12 evo's are a great bang for the buck tire and perform as good as many tires costing ton's more money. It's what I plan on using on my Mustang once the factory junk kicks the bucket.

Getting around in falling snow packed down I was struggling to get going on some slightly hilly residential hills. I do have the Continental PureContact w/EcoPlus tires and they seem better than the OEM Turanzas during my first 2 winters with the car. Otherwise, the Contis are decent in the snow for stopping and cornering and excellent in the rain

I've heard some awesome things about the continental extreme contact tire in snowy conditions.

The cheapest ones I would consider were the Hankook Ventus V-12's at $199 each, many others are closer to $400 a piece including the OEM Toyo's.

I know the OP has already purchased tires, but I figured I'd share my experience with the Conti DWS's. The (soon to be) wife had them on her MKIV Jetta (225/45/R17) and they were SUPER soft. Really caused a lot of bounce in the car.
