Kumho Ecsta SPT or Hankook Ventus V12?
 

Which one is better for a DD nismo with no track use.

Have the hankook Ventus on mine and they are fine no problem grip is good and tires quiet on road.

whichever are cheaper.

I've got the V12s, but haven't driven on them yet.

Hankook +1

I've had both and the Hankook wins!!

Just ordered the hankooks! Thanks!

Better be hankook cause mine arrive Friday. 305/25/20 and 255/35/20 for 845 shipped with an 80 dollar gift card on top of it. Not bad :)

Yeah that was part of the reason I went with hankook, the 80.00 gift card was a nice incentive...

I was filling out the paper work for the mail in rebate tonight and noticed the wording seems to suggest that the "set" of tires (4) are supposed to be all the same size. I sent them an email to make sure I still qualify with the staggered set up that is stock... Any input on that?

Well I did read the disclosure statement on the website
Of the organization ad considering I've worked at a Lawfirm for
Close to 8 years, legal wording is my speciality. It stated on the state that a set of
The same tire. But did not mention that size had a factor In obtaining it. I don't think they would have sent it to you if you didn't qualify. When I get mine in on Friday I'll
Check it out. I saved the the actual webpage incase I have to dispute it. ;)

They didn't send it, I printed it off of tireracks website...

Don't know why people like the Hankook so much. Maybe it's the price? They're not that grippy and the side wall is on the softer side.

Kumho just release their Ecsta LE Sport. I personally have not tried but have heard some great reviews about them. My next set of tires on my daily wheels will be these.

I have the Hankook V12 and I'm not too impressed. They aren't all that grippy.

I just ran a new set on the Tail of the Dragon and I thought they performed well.
What are your alignment numbers??? If that's your setup in your Avatar then no tire is going to work well for you.
Note: They did take a couple miles to warm up!

I have kumho's on my rear Nismo wheels (oem Yokohama on the front), and haven't had any problems at all.

guess for daily use it really doesn't matter if they're grippy or not but thats just my opinion...if you can save money on whichever is cheaper is always a good thing right
