Hankook Ventus V12 Evo

I have never had them on my car, nor have I driven a car with them so I can only repeat what I've been told. Great street tires with good cold grip and good wet weather performance. I also hear they are pretty sticky for street tires that last as long as they do. In other words, perfect street or drift tires. From what I heard, its a different story on the track, these tend to overheat and turn into smoke a few laps in. That's nothing to be ashamed of...its impossible to make an inexpensive tire that is great on the street, lasts a long time and then somehow also performs at the track.

^ Very true statement. I like mine for the street and they are great in the wet. I've noticed when changing out my road to track set that the Hankooks are pretty heavy compared to my R888s (no surprize there). I have about 2k miles on my Hankook's and they barely looked used, hopefully they last.

Here is a link to a tire test from car and driver. The v12 places well.
