Tires Hankook or Continental

Currently i'm running dz101's in the front, and hankook ventus v12 evo's in the rear, although i'm considering switching that around, as the hankooks seem to be much gripper than the dz's.

It does ok but stock tires are crap in my opinion. Good all season tire like optimo 4s (had them) would do very good but I put winter tires on and it made a huge difference from the stock tires. Makes me very confident in the CC and stability does very well.

Most of my touring has been with gatorskins and ultra gatorskins and I've had very few flats. My favorites, however, are the continental Hardshell. I've been using those for the last 2 years without a single flat.

I've had a set on my F150 now for over 20k km's and they aren't barely beginning to show wear. They are quiet, good in snow, light muck and great in rain and very quiet.

My '13 VR6 Sport w/navi and the 18" wheels (OEM Continentals, not Goodyears) has been great through its first 9K miles. The ride is fine, tires are quiet enough and seem to be wearing OK

I have v12s Hankook they ride nice but only have 3500 miles on them. V12s seem to be quiet so far.

I've got some Hankook V12 evo since april and so far I really like them. They stick to the road well and they don't make much noise. Not that great when it's wet thought.

GREAT in the snow and they are quiet, comfortable and handle well in all other conditions.

I rotate tires every 5k to keep even wear and am no longer a fan of Toyos ... Anyway, I'm hard on my car (ie: drive it like you stole it) and even with a track day under my belt, I'm doing better than 8-10k miles on my set of Contis although don't get more than 2 seasons out of summers (approx. 15k miles).

My stock contis didn't last 20k miles which blows in my book and braking was not good. I'll probably fork out for Michelin mxm4 and be set for a few years.
