Default Hankook Mileage

What kind of mileage are you all getting out of your daily driven Hankook Ventus V12 tires? I am not looking for those that use them for racing purposes.

Mine have been on for a good 4K miles and still look brand new.

I haven't really noticed a difference when I went from GY GSD3's to the Hankook R-s3 about a month ago. Still 14 city and 26 hwy.

I should have been a little more detailed in my question. What total mileage are you getting out of them, not MPG.

I'm very interested in this answer also. I'm about to buy a enw set of tires. Hankook's are number one on my list. I dont drive my Vette hard at all. More of a cruiser. I'm looking for tires with a long tread life without to much sacrafice to performance for those rare times I may need to zig and zag. V12's seem to fit the bill but some feedback from forum members who have these would be nice.

Guess I will eventually find out. Just put a set on mine and only have about 100 miles on them. Hope they get a lot more mileage out of them than the GY runflats did.

Mine were delivered last Friday. Got new batterys today for my tpms. Guess I'll have to get installed now. The fellow said the rear tires on there now only has about 15,000 miles on um. They're getting pretty thin. This darned car don't have much traction.

With mixed highway and back road cruising, a burnout or two, and a full track weekend at VIR I have 20,000 miles on mine and they have tons of life left.

I would also be interested to see how many miles people are getting out of them when it's time to replace.

Something else to think about- to the guys who only drive a couple of thousand miles a year, don't concentrate solely on getting a tire that will maximize tread life since they say you should replace tires every 6 years regardless of tread life.
