Hankook V12 vs V4

I am getting these for my father's TL. However, I am not sure which one should I get. He's 62 and by no mean he would drive like us young guns. I need something last long and quiet ride for him, so please give me a suggestion if any of you had/have experienced on any of these before tomorrow. Thanks.

The V12 is a summer tire and the V4 is an all season.

If he does not drive spiritedly and does not know much about tire feedback, sidewall softness..ect

A Good All Season would be my choice, long lasting and quiet.

Also Take a look at Conti DWS, they are the number 1 rated All season on tirerack, the V4 is 19th

Agreed, a performance summer probably isn't the best fit for him. The Conti's would be a great "Jack of all trades" tire to use. Top of its class for many good reasons.

contis are good, but they get noisy. I would go with the V4's or the yokohama envigors.
