Tires Hankook or Nexen

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have the N5000's on my Classix for my Summer wheels, They are OK, Feel better than the stock Contis on the steelies I use in the winter But not the best in the Wet, If its rainning, I can easily get them to spin.... When they wear, I probably won't buy them again . . . J

I had Nexen N3000's on the S2000 when I purchased it. While I know they aren't N5000's, they seemed to have an odd reputation on message boards. The 3000's were deemed fairly acceptable for the first half of their tread life, but then horrid at the second half. They went from having a bit of grip to driving on frozen hockey pucks. Mine were already fairly worn on the S2000, and they were SCARY. They were promptly replaced with appropriate rubber for the car.
