I must say, I regret ever having the Michelins!
The Hankook holds the pavement better, looks better, is a softer ride, and I rarely break the rear end into a drift since getting the Hankooks!
Much better tire, and I realize some difference is the increased width, but not all the improvement.
I hear a lot of good about the Generals, but I am so happy with Hankooks, that I will probably never try the Generals to compare!
But, I do not recommend the Michelins.
I've been saying this since February 2010 when I created a thread years ago here on the forum.
My Favorite Tires - Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110
My first set gave me 30,000 miles of perfect even tread wear, ran quiet the entire time and I ran the rears well past the tread bars and then bought another set of the same tires again.
Both sets I also got the slightly larger rear tires using the 285/35 19
Good Choice IMO but others here are not as happy with them
There are definitely a lot of tires out there to choose from but for the price and performance I prefer these
Although I don't drive an SRT...
I do consider myself an aggressive driver for the most part and I was even surprised to get the amount of miles I did from these.
Went with the 285/35/19 on the rears........about an inch taller and an inch wider with no rubbing issues
