Agreed. Im running the Hankooks right now and Im not having too much of a prob with them and Im known to do some spirited driving. It does pretty good in the wet and its darn decent in the dry for an affordable street tire. A lot of guys on here run the V12's, I've never heard of ANYONE running the Kumho's.

You drive like i do go with the hankooks. tread pattern is good.
if you do get caught in a rain Strom they handle well above average.
for the money imo worth the price

How do these hold up performance wise against the stock tires? Just curious because I'm now in the market for new tires and these are about $100 cheaper per tire.

They are def a step down performance wise. Not as grippy in the dry but they are better in the wet. The wear rating is much higher on the Hankooks so they shouldnt burn out as fast as your stock Bridgestones. If you are looking to save some $ on tires the V12s are a great option.
