Anyone tried the Hankook Ventus V12 series?

No biggie. I have been racing since 1994, so I guess my experience doesn't meet his. lol!

It's not about taking sides nor is it a competition. Given my novice level of track driving, the reality is that any of these tires will probably out perform my driving. This is how I talked myself out of coilovers.

I'm taking this post, enlarging the words and printing them out. I am then hanging them on my wall. Forever.

This will save me a fortune.

You are exactly right. You will eventually push your car past it's tires limits with experience, but with any street tire, it will get greasy after time. That is what race tires are for.

Hell, I have taken my Daily Acura TL Type-S with Michelin MXM4s out there, it did okay with them.
