Just bought a set of Hankooks from Discount Tire Direct.
Tire rack was about $40 cheaper but they had a $53 delivery charge, so DTD was cheaper.

Default Hankook

Recently been checking these out as well. I'm moving away from runflat tires. I have used Falken and Good year but recentlynoticed the Hankook non runflat tires and saw some good reviews. Anynoe used or using them? I could not believe the price I saw...really reasonable!!

Thanks,

Bill

I love them. So much better then my run-flats. They are quite at highway speeds. The ride quality it a lot better too. I would recommend them to someone if they are looking to get out of run-flats and not spend a huge amount of money on tires.

I just yesterday put Hankook Ventus V12's on my new wheels.

275/35/18 in the front and 305/30/19 on the rear.

The wheels were chrome C5 Z06 wheels 18x9.5 and 19x11

Only took it for a short ride yesterday, but everything was fine. The fit was perfect and the ride was smooth and sounded quieter.

Just had my set installed on Saturday and loving them so far. Road noise is MUCH less than the supercars I had. Put the same sizes as well although my rear wheels are a full inch less in width.

I thought the Hankook Ventus V12's had a really cool tread pattern. I have read a lot of good things about them here and on other car forums.
