I'm a new SRT6 owner myself, but my car has brand new Hankook Ventus V12 tires on it, and I'm very pleased with them so far. I already have the same tires on my Cadillac CTS Coupe, and had them on my Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT when I owned it.

Are there "better performing" tire choices out there? Sure... I don't think almost anyone who has tried multiple brands of tires on the track considers these Hankooks the "absolute best". But they're consistently given high ratings for both dry weather and rain ... typically in the top 3-4 tire choices mentioned.

To be honest, the vehicle I've been the least impressed with them on is my CTS Coupe. That's not to say they're bad at all, but rather, the car is big and heavy and I notice the tires sometimes feel like they're at their limits of grip if I make a sudden stop. The Ventus tires seem to work a little better on lighter-weight, smaller cars.

What really pushes the Hankooks to the top of the list is the pricing and variety of harder-to-find tires sizes they come in. I don't think you can buy a CHEAPER tire in a harder-to-find size that out-performs them. So IMO, a sensible choice for the daily driver of a higher-performance vehicle, who isn't looking for ultimate performance for the track.
