New Hankooks

Just got a new set of Hankook Ventus V12 evo’s for my car (ZO6) at Discount Tire. $960 out the door and Hankook has a $50 rebate too. I was told it’s good for all sizes. Thought I’d pass this along... Mark

I have them on my current Z06. They are very nice, smooth and quiet.

Hankooks have great reviews and a set came on my C6. I have no problems with them at all.

I had them on my '08,and they were great. Quiet, very grippy, just a really good tire for that car.

I’ll find out in the Fall about cold weather quality. a “Z” rated tire in ZO6 sizes, for under a grand, I had to see for myself. And yes, I’ve put 100 miles on them today and they are very quiet so far...

For street driving they're not bad. Excellent value for money.

I'd get something else for the track but you'll also have to pay for that extra ability.

They're crap for wet weather. For almost the same cost, the BFG G-Force Comp 2 A/S performs better all around.

I've had no problem with mine in wet weather. Currently at 21,000 miles and still tons of tread left.

Had them on my C5 for five years with no issues. They were, and most likely still are, the go to tire in the C5 section.

Never drove in cold or rain...

My Hankook tires work well in the rain (and we get lots of it here in Florida).

The day I picked up our C6 it was 30-33 degrees with rain and ice. I drove over 100 miles from the dealer to home in a totally unfamiliar car and never had a single "seat of the pants" style feeling from the car or the tires. Since then I have driven 100's of miles in the rain and again, zero issues.
