Looking to upgrade from GY's.. any suggestions?
Looking to get rid of the horrible Goodyear run flats.. been back and forth on tire rack and reviews and still haven't pulled the trigger on a set of tires.. looked at bridgestone pole positions, bfgoodrich comp2 sports and nitto v12's, read good things and bad things about all these tires but most people liked there Michelin Pilot Super Sports. After doing some research I read a lot about cold cracking in low temps. Im located in Central Canada where it gets very cold and I store my car all winter in a non insulated or heated garage.. its never moved around or driven in cold temps but to spend lots of money on good tires to have them crack after storage I cant seem to justify.. and im not taking of my tires every winter.. Maybe someone can help me and point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Thanks,

I run a set of the Hankook Ventus V12s on my C5 and really like the tires. Great pricing and they perform very well on the car. I store my car in the winter but it is in a heated/insulated garage. But, I've not heard of any tire cracking problems with the Hankooks.

I have the Hankooks on my C5 and they've been fine. I'm guessing they're four years old with no signs of them cracking. I was at a local car show last weekend and a fellow had almost the identical car and was running Hankook, we talked a bit and he told me how much he liked 'em.
