KDW2's vs Hankook v12 on coupe
#16
Agreed !
I have had the V12 on now for 10k and they still have another 6-8 k on them
My only complaint on the V12 is that when pushed hard they start to show their weak sidewalls .
I had the falkens , too loose on the road , air ride feel.
Khumo were ok but performed just like the 595 federals.
KDW, grip like crazy glue but the noise is overwhelming . specialy in the sedan.
never had the verdistein.
before the V12 I had Yokohama S drive .
Hands down best bang for the buck , in all aspects.

Well I bought the Hankook v12 and I do like them. Side walls are softer than the kdw2s. This tires grip very well but I haven't pushed them much yet. I knew when the kdw2's would start to break and I was very use to them. Not sure were that point is with the v12s yet. I could tell when the kdw2s would start to slip. They would slowly break free and it was predictable. Can tell where that point is with the v12s. Soon. I do think the kdw2 are a very cool looking tire. But thats not going to be what I base anything off of. Just saying I do love their tread pattern

I had the Hankooks on my 2007 coupe and they lasted about 4000 miles, I found out my alignment and camber were off. They scared me in the rain because they would float across the water like a boat. That's why I went with the Kumho SPTs but tey are loud and roar badly. Im probable going to go with the Conti DWS next.
