is anyone running the hankook ventus v12? i think they are fairly new tire and was thinking about getting them. any input would be appreciated

 

Quick search results.... https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ook+ventus+v12

I'm researching tires also and have been giving these a good look, they are non directional and your able to at least rotate from side to side.

I heard those Nitto Invo's are smoking everything except the pricey Eagles right now. Great tires.

 

I have been looking at these as well.

 

The Nitto Invos look great and probably perfom even better... but I think I remember SRT-SIX saying that he had TERRIBLE wear out of these. Something to the tune of 10K on the rears?

I also love the Vredestein tires, but from the pics I've seen, they don't appear to have as wide of a traction patch as some other brands. Not all 255's are created equally, just ask Steve Hellums.

 

Thats what I run. Check my gallery for wheel/tire shots. They came out in 2008, (Hankook v12), as did the TSW wheel pattern I'm running.

edit...Tires are slick when cold, takes a couple miles to warm up. Example, when going out first thing in the morning, going around corners, gassing it, the back end steps out a great deal, but after warmed up, stick really nice in the canyons. Maybe this is a summer tire, not sure now, but I live where it's warm most of the time.

 

I too bought the Hankook V12. I got a great price on-line and I have read a few great reviews. It currently is below zero and I will have to wait until warm weather to mount them up and test them out. The price and design made the decision for me,
The apparently have been used for about one season in Europe and are now new to the US. Several publication in Europe have gave them very high praise.

 

I remember that thread. He was getting that problem on his FRONT tires with the Nitto Invo's

Anyways, sorry to thread jack.

I have been researching some new tires. These Hankooks look decent for the money, and are rated as A/S, but I just think I'd personally prefer the F1 A/S instead....like i said personal preference.
