I have the Hankooks as well and overall I like them. we have pretty smooth roads around here so they are pretty quiet. I didn't have any issues during this past El Niño.
I'm running the V12 evo2's right now, JB1. For daily use, I couldn't be happier. They've all but completely solved my traction issues in 2nd and 3rd gear. Still have to ease into it a bit in 2nd, but 3rd can go WOT ~3k rpm.
Second set of Hankook Ventus Evo2 purchased. Good tire for price. Just be sure to rotate em as I didn't (got a nail in one; plugged) and fronts got killed while backs still have plenty of tread (25 k on em).
Ran the V12s on my 370z and they were fine, with longer tread life than PSS (on that car anyways). Hankook is a solid brand, and unless you track your car, etc. just save the money for something else.
I recently changed wheels and tires on my jetta and I really enjoy the new look as well as the grip from the new tires. I went with a set of hankook v2 and they feel pretty solid so far.
The new Hankook V12 Evo2 is supposed to be better in terms of quietness and driveability. That may be a good buy on a budget.
I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2s for the winter and Hankook all-seasons for the summer.
Neuspeed RSe52 18x8 with 225/40/18 Hankook R-S3 (my current track setup)
I had the V12s on my Subaru - were great until I had to stop in the snow. I have the V12s on my S2000 - tried to move it into the garage last year after it had started to snow and had a very difficult time getting traction.
I had the 18" Hankook tires on my 2012 Highline and managed to get almost 50,000 KMs out of them before I traded the car. They were always quite noisy, and they wore terribly.
