I'm shopping for new tires and I'm not trying to break the bank, but I also want the best for my money. I was looking at these tires Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110. Does anyone have any feedback on these?

Hankooks SUCKS!!! I know from experience. I own a 1993 Q45 and when it rains I can get sideways from a stop till 3rd gear at WOT or half throttle even. So there not the best tire.

I had Michelin before and I thought I would save some money and find a softer tire but I was wrong.

Reviews of the specific tire here

I bought my G used and I had Hankooks (all seasons though) and I can't say I had any major complaints

You are aware that you're looking at a summer only tire right?

Don't know what size rims you have, but have you thought about dropping down to Ultra High Performance Summer tires??I've liked the Yoko S-drives that I have....and I don't think they are much more $$$Or, the Pontenza's RE760's. Looks like they are rated well. Had RE750's on my cobra and they were great!!!!

But, like CrackaLackin mentioned, these are summer only....not rated for snow.

Used to have them on two different cars years ago. Forget which model, but I remember they were Hankook brand for sure.

I actually enjoyed having those tires. Both grip and wear were better than some of the other brands I've used before.

I haven't used the V12's... but my friend has them on his '06 Coupe and he likes them a lot. They aren't fantastic in water but do well in dry.

I would recomend Falkens they are #1 consumer report tire, and Nexens are a great tire as well they use Michelin technology and are very reasonably priced.
