Anyone tried the Hankook Ventus V12 series?

I had 265F/285R Ventus V12s installed a couple weeks ago. I've noticed a slight shimmy in my steering wheel between about 60-80mph. I was chalking it up to the road

I had 265F/285R Ventus V12s installed a couple weeks ago. I've noticed a slight shimmy in my steering wheel between about 60-80mph. I was chalking it up to the road surface but I just swapped to my winter tires and the shimmy is gone. I guess I'll get the tires rebalanced but I recall reading some threads about the Hankooks being lop-sided. Sigh...if rebalancing doesn't fix this, it's last cheapo tire I buy. If it wasn't for the shimmy, I'd give them pretty high marks so far.



*** Had them rebalanced at another installer and all four tires/wheels were 2 or more ounces off and the weights were in the completely wrong spots. Waiting a couple weeks for the weather to shape up here and then I'll see if that fixed the shimmy...but I can't see how it wouldn't. The first installer should be run out of the business.
wheee! likes this.
