Default Anybody running these tires?

HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO. If so how much power are you making and how do they hook and handle.

I'm running them on mine, but my car does not have a lot of performance mods. Hopefully someone that has much more HP than me will give you some good feedback. BTW, I really like the tires - good handling, smooth ride and very low road noise.

That's good even though I have a lot of power. I still want tires that perform on curves and are not noisy as i do daily drive the car. But also I need the to get fairly good traction in a straight line from a roll.

I don't have them on the Corvette but my son is running them on his Ferrari 360 spyder and he has friends that are also running them. He is very happy and the price was just a bonus. I've driven the Ferrari and they do handle well and look great!

I also run them, I love these tire's.... I think it was car & driver did a comparison to pilots,BFG's & and others, they compared pretty close to the pilots in traction in wet & dry conditions for half the price.
