Anyone using Hankook tires?

[Blue Lion]

I have an 07 G35 couple, sport suspension, 19" wheels. The Hankook Evo V12 Ventus looks like a viable option.

Whenever you redesign suspension by changing the single most impostant component- TIRES, you usually get what you pay for.

For most people the single most important parameter is wet panic braking distance especially in cool weather.

Across the cost spectrum identical sized tires can vary by 30 feet in a panic stop from just 50 mph.

Usually only a few times in a lifetime is this critical. Spending an extra $100 per year prorated $50/tire is often a wise choice.

Since the front tires are more critical in panic stopping due to massive weight transfer they should alway be the best if you can only afford 2.

i just got those on my 19''s like two weeks ago 275/35 and 245/35 and dropped with just eibach pro-kit, i drive 40 miles to work and 40 back home every day and loving them. they were installed on a Tuesday and the very next day it rained here in cali and was very satisfied, also no noise..

Can anyone comment on noise on Hankook vs Falken? Im looking for the quietest tires possible.

Hankooks are more quiet. I had falken 452 then after i got hankooks v12 evo alot more quiet.

I love my V12s, very quiet and great all around grip and the overall ride was improved as well.

I'd be happy if they last much longer than my OEM Bridgestones. I got under 18k with them.

Those have been a super popular sport summer tire lately. Tend to get decent wear, not super noisy, handles dry/wet well, etc. Good bang for the buck!

I just replaced all four bridgestone tires to the Hankook V12's a week ago. I put about 180 miles on them so far. They do seem quieter and ride smoother then my oem bridgestones IMO. Great buy for cheap but my next set of tires will be Michelin Pilot a/s.

They are quiet, grip well [on wet and rain], and are dirt cheap.

My only gripe about them is that the sidewall stiffness isn't up to par with the other tires I have used [RE050A, T1Rs]. At freeway speeds, if you jerk [quick sharp left-to-right movement] the steering wheel, you can feel the car lag behind steering input and takes away some confidence. But it's only noticeable at 65+ mph.

Other than that, they are great. For the price, its hard to pass for DD tires.
