General Tires

OP-- now that I'm on a computer I can give a more detailed response.

First off, I'm guessing your goals are mileage and price, rather than performance, since you are looking at the Hankook's and a set of all season tires.

I would personally go with a name-brand set of AS tires if that is your goal. There are quite a few options out there, depending on whether you have the 18's or 19's.

I would avoid the V12's. I've offered this same explanation of them before-- they offer the feel of an all-season, with the wear of a summer tire. If you are going to deal with the mushy feel of the sidewall, you might as well get some extra treadwear and use from the all-seasons.
