Hankook Ventus V12 EV02. Hankook's have became my favorite tire in the last few years after doing tires/mechanics for 20 years.
In comparing equal sizes, the EVO3 appears to be heavier, have more stabilized treadblocks, and stronger sidewalls/belts, but made with a softer rubber compound. Probably a better tire for track use.
I'm running them on my C7Z (315/345s on 18s). Only one event on them so far (next one is tomorrow) and can confirm they are stupid fast. I was running Conti ECFs previously and about 70% of my first event on the P1s was trying to find the limit and learn the tire.
Just got the hankooks last month swapped the kumhos at 40k. Slightly louder than the kumhos but not by much. As an earlier person said insanely better in heavy rain/standing water I felt like I was driving an suv the last time I was in a deluge just wicked right though it. Efficiency seems about the same as kumhos.
I replaced my GT summer tires with the Hankooks and couldn’t be happier. I went through this last mild winter in the pacific northwest with no issues. Good grip in light snow and heavy rain. Low noise and great handling with my sometimes overly aggressive driving.
I started with the khumos on a wind AWD, have the hankook’s now. The hankooks are way better in standing water/rain, and are stiffer overall. This leads to a little more road vibration but is not a major complaint. The khumos also wore out faster. Efficiency wise the hankooks are very very close but slightly less
I have the hankook's on 20's. Expensive. No issues.
Still love my 2020 SE except original Hankook tires. They are wearing already at low mileage 23K.
Has anybody experienced dry rot with the factory Hankook Kinergy GT tires that came equipped with the 16" Torontos (In MY 2017 at least)? All four tires have these cracks along the outer channels. 16k miles, 8/32" tread depth remaining. 4 years old.
I have 4 on my GLI and I doubt they will last 35,000 km. I took them off and put on my winters at 25K and they don't look like they will last much longer. I don't drive my car hard at all. Last winter, with 5000 to 7000 km on them, I could barely move in a parking lot with 10 cm of snow.
