I got the same ones last summer at Discount Tire. So far so good. I haven’t been out in the rain, but they’re great in the Texas heat!
Op, did you check your DOT’s? I think maybe Hankook offers the sales and rebates when they’ve got surplus stock needing to be sold. My tires were already a year old when I bought them. They have DOT’s of 3216 and 5016. Otherwise all is fine with them!

Pilot Sports ??????????

I wasn’t too bothered by my one year old “new tires”, but two years old might bother me. My tires will never be worn out as I don’t drive that much. They’ll “age out” first. Your case may differ, but your 3316 and 3617’s kinda support my theory. 
They’re still good tires though. Best of luck.

I have Dry Wet Snow (DWS) All Season Mud n Snow Continentals which work great in wet weather.
There is another version Dry Wet (DW) which is the performance version.
There is a newer version but I cannot remember code name on that one.

I just went to the Discount Tire Direct website, and a set of Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 2 (K120) tires in the Z06 / GS size cost $844 to the door (shipping is free).
With the Hankook $50 rebate now in effect, that would make the final total cost $794

Idk. if you guys can get em for under $900 I’d jump on it! so far after a couple hundred miles I’m happier than **** w/mine. pretty sure they’ll be just fine if I get caught in the rain too...

I don't understand how you are getting these prices.

The Conti's are good in the rain and probably the best all around tire that isn't Michelin for these cars. I was thinking the F1 Supercar was not that good in the rain, maybe average, I'm sure tire rack has a comparison and maybe they've updated the Goodyear since last I looked.

Another step back was the Ventus V12 evo2, which had good initial steering response but lacked the ultimate traction to match the pace or composure of the others.
