Tires Hankook or Vredestein

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.

Just got these for my commuter and love them. I know of others that purchased them and were really happy plus the rebate they have.

Saw a Subaru and two Jeep Liberties in ditches today. My lowered, traction control-less and ABS-less Mk.III on studded Hankooks did just fine.

I will say that the Hankook iPike W409 is a great tire. They're very similar to the old Nokian RSi tire, which is a good thing. I'm on my third set of them, studded this time. They'll go through anything.

I used these tires / steel wheels on my 2008 Jetta for one winter. If you've never used winter tires you need to try it. All wheel drive is nice to get moving but they can't help you turn or stop. Winter tires do everything better - more grip for turning, stopping, and starting. The winter rubber compound and tread gives much better grip in all cold weather conditions - dry, wet, sleet, slush, or snow.

I have Ventus V12 Evos in 205/40/17 on my MX-5 and I really like them. As as street tire/occasional autocross tire they have not let me down. I've run them to temps as low as the low 40's Fahrenheit and have been pleased with their performance.

I have a set of the Ventus V12 Evos on my R53, and they see auto-x and daily driving. I think they are great tires for the money, they are quiet, precise, and have some pretty incredible grip.

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.

Got rid of the Hankooks on my SE V6, replaced them with Michelin Primacy with a small Discount Tire trade-in allowance. Ride is maybe a little better, expansion joint thump is a little better, but noise on all but the smoothest asphalt is bad; on concrete, it's almost intolerable.
