Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110

i just bought a set for my OEM 19 rear wheels 255/40/19, iv read good reviews on them but iv also read that the sidewall is soft. also that they are not to good at the track

anyone have these on their G? Thought on these tires?

Thanks,
-Wes

i am running them in a 255/30 and 285/30. have to say the sidewall is pretty soft, its noticeable in turns. I maxed out the psi in them basically to limit that. IMHO i would probably buy them again because of the cost factor. the whole set ran me less than 800. the wear is pretty good, had them for about 1k miles and barely notice any besides for maybe a little camber wear. they are also really good in the rain.

hope this helps

Had mines for over a year now (about 6-8k miles) and they've been pretty solid. They've held up pretty well even after a year of extreme fender rubbing. I'll see if I can post pics of how my tires look like now.

hey beebs..I've been considering these tires too...after searching, researching, and comparing, I'm leaning towards vredersteins (it looks to be the superior tire from a performance standpoint)...and yup, the soft sidewall on the V12's contributed to not going with them.

I wouldn't put them on a track, but a nice street perf tire. Everyone that I've sold those to has been quite happy with them.

Verygood tires, no complaints here. Yes soft sidewall but overall good bang for your buck.

I like them, just bought another set for the rears. 255/40.

I'll prolly get different tires next, the soft walls are starting to annoy me.

Damn, I was thinking about getting them for my stretched setup but I guess that won't do, especially with the soft sidewalls.
