I read your post on the 9" and 10" wheels on the section i replied to, and saw your name on this one... so i thought I'd help out.

I just bought 4 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110. Lemme tell ya... AMAZING

They handle like the road is dry when its pouring.

They only have like 50 miles on them lol and obviously the stuff from the mold hasn't worn off yet. They handle soooo much better than the Falken 452s did. I'm excited to see what they do when they're broken in.

They hold turns 5-10mph faster without any noise than the falkens did squealing.

Lookup car and driver on the comparison with the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2($400) these scored 1 under the $450 dunlops... They got best wet, best breaking, best lap time, quietest tire and a .91 on the skidpad. They only lost to the dunlop on skidpad. The dunlop had a .92.

The best part is the sidewall has a nice rounded edge into the tread so it really gives it that wrapped look. And, they ride a ton better than the falkens did even though i went with a lower profile this time.

I got mine from Tire Rack and was about 800 after shipping for all 4

Hope that helps out.

are these, the hankooks, an all season tire? I was planning on going the Conti DWS route, but I also have the luxury of storing it during the most severe of the winter. so maybe these would be just fine for early or late snowfalls?

I was looking at this tire as well. When I called tire rack he said that the write ups were favorable but they really only had a few reviews, so he did not recommend them. He recommended the Yokohama Advan S4, at about $850 for the set shipped. I have about 1500 miles on them and they are a great tire. I have other Yokohamas and found the tread life is better than expected.

Thanks Gary, I kinda thought they were summers, but then I saw the post about how good they handled in the rain.

I'll probably go the next time with the Conti DWS's. they have had good reviews, they have a 50K mileage warranty, and they're built for A/S dry, wet, and snow. There's tradeoff's to be sure, but since I don't race it, well generally not then for the few times I pass 100 they'll do just fine.

Nankang NS-II.... They came to $504.93 shipped to my door step. Cheapest I've seen by far. Check this thread out. I personally find it to be the best solution for a really good cheap tire. My $0.02 worth if it's worth that
