Default Hankook Ventus V-12 report

I went to get my Hankook's rebalanced this morning. I've now put just over 10K miles on them. The fronts have only worn 1/32" and the rears (for some odd reason ) have worn 2/32".

Considering how hard i've put the car through corners and how often I've done that, all the commute miles and the 15-20 serious burnouts I've done on them, I think the treadwear is amazing. they stick very well unless you try to get it to slide/spin, they work great in the rain, they're comfortable and quiet.

I'm extremely impressed by the Hankook tires and wanted to share this info with all of you.

Just put a set on 2 weeks ago in place of my worn run-flats! Love them so far. Great ride! Thanks for the update. Zuti

Love my Hankooks! It's amazing how they completely transformed my car into a sports car with a first class ride. I think run flats should go the way of the dinosaur. Just talk to any recent BMW owner.

I got a set a month ago and I like 'em. Very nice ride, pretty quiet, just a little less precise than what I had before but completely satisfied.

For comparison purposes what did you have before?
