Tires Hankook or Kumho

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.

Yep, haven't ran those Falkens, but have run the Kumhos. On my 2nd set of the Evos on my summer wheels for the R, great tire for the money. It's no PS2 or Direzza, but I'm not a racecar driver either. And +1 running them a little higher on PSI.

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.

I had the Kumho on my Fx45 before the current Kooks. Overall, I prefer the Hankooks since I feel the ride better, quieter, etc (maybe I am just getting old and need to trade in for an ES300). Plus the Hankooks come with tread warranty, no? The Kumho were a bit stickier but I felt they wore a bit prematurely.

I have the LX Platinums on my GLI. After 20,000+miles, they show little wear. Handling is definitely noticeably worse than the original summer tires, but not awful. Winter traction was surprisingly good.

It's the tires...... My car came with the Hankook's and they are noisy lil bastards....
