Brakes Wheels 1st Gen Tires Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 - anyone used 'em?

I used them when I ran 18 inch wheels as well. I didn't have any complaints and they were really well priced. I normally prefer going with better known brands, but those were the only tires available at the time. At that price, I figured if I didn't like them I could drive the crap out of it and get the usual makes of tire.

 

I used'em. My Dad still has them on his Mini. I've seen them beat on (by a MINI) at Streets of Willow.

They are a GREAT tire for the $. If you want a daily driving tire that is grippy dry, does well in the wet, and low road noise. These are the tire you want/need.

Tire Rack was having a special on them FYI.

 

Yep....got me a set on order right now. And there is a $60 rebate on them right now.

 

Holy crap, that's a killer price! Looks like I'll be replacing the GPs yokohamas with these, at least for daily driving. Thanks for the tip!

 

Very good tire for the money and better than OEM RF Good Year RSA. I have it in 205x45x17 @ 33 psi cold. We'd had cold weather in Vancouver, BC lately that went as low as 3*C and in the rain but it held up well under legal speed limits. Some reported its soft sidewall but was not an issue for me. I'll buy the Ventus V12 again.

 

I am currently using the 215/40-18 Hankook V12. They are a great street tire.
I previous had Toyo T1Rs and the V12 are working just as well. The V12s are pretty sticky for a street tire, low noise, and are wearing OK for the treadwear rating. I did notice when I Auto-X, they do tend to roll under more than expected even with a lot of air pressure. Not a big deal for me because I can adjust the negative camber to compenstate for Auto-X.

 

I have been running mine for about a year. will not complain about them at all. good treadwear, low road noise and inexpensive. 40K+/- miles on them
