Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone tried the Hankook Ventus V12 series?

I'm very curious to know how the hell you burned them that badly in 800 miles. What sort of driving and temps? Alignment in spec? 800 miles is nuts Those

Alignment is on point, done by Nissan as a matter of fact. Driving habits haven't changed and temps in the 80s. The tires are garbage, not sure how else to put it. Yokohama s drives lasted me a year, these lasted 4 weeks and don't have any kind of treadwear warranty. I will never buy hankook again.

I didn't shell out 250 per tire to do burnouts.

I was pretty pissed off about it man, hope you have better luck. Surprisingly enough, I went with some Sumitomo HTRIII because of the price and they are doing extremely well. It's only been about 500 miles but zero signs of premature wear.

Ive had V12's Evo's and my rears lasted about 13000 miles and would have lasted more but I didnt have camber arms or toe bolts yet. Just got a new rear set EVO2's and with proper alignment they should last even longer.
