I'm okay with the Hankook V12's on treadwear and volume, but in terms of grip, and especially cornering. I have to say they're garbage. They break loose very easily at not even high speeds in corners.

I would highly recommend Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Great traction wet/dry, aside from a flood.
Awesome cornering
Improved treadwear over the PS2/RE050 (stock)
Quieter than stock

i agree the V12's arnt very grippy and they kinda wear fast but he gave that recommendation to keep him in the same price range.

Understandable, but since he's rolling on 18's, the prices are much more affordable than 19's.
