Tires Hankook or Pirelli
Ventus V12 is a really good tire. Feel great after a few thousand miles and some of the tread is gone. If you are at stock ride height and wheel ET I'd go a bit wider to 235/40 X 18. Better traction and higher handling limits.
I had the V12 evo on my GTI and M3. They were good for the money IMO.
from my personal experience with other Hankook branded tires and what I've read online, those V12 evo's are a great bang for the buck tire and perform as good as many tires costing ton's more money. It's what I plan on using on my Mustang once the factory junk kicks the bucket.
Currently i'm running dz101's in the front, and hankook ventus v12 evo's in the rear, although i'm considering switching that around, as the hankooks seem to be much gripper than the dz's.
Never felt that way on pavement, but on those metal bridges sure, almost every tire I've ever had does exept the G-forces or the slicks on my m3. I actually really am happy with the Performance and life of the Pirelli Scorpion's. I've got 13,000 miles on mine and at 10/32s on the hot Florida roads thats awesome. Deff not worth switching out.
It does ok but stock tires are crap in my opinion. Good all season tire like optimo 4s (had them) would do very good but I put winter tires on and it made a huge difference from the stock tires. Makes me very confident in the CC and stability does very well.
I've had a set on my F150 now for over 20k km's and they aren't barely beginning to show wear. They are quiet, good in snow, light muck and great in rain and very quiet.
I have the Pirelli P-Zero Nero 225/40HR18 on Detroit wheels. They were pleasantly quiet until a few thousand KM then I started to notice a tire noise. No bumps hit and it's all 4 corners.
Skip the P-zeros, I hate mine. There's so much road noise I feel like the tires are made of cement sometimes.
My car came with the P-Zeros from the factory and they are the worst tires I've ever owned.
