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.
Just replaced the OEM Yokohama Avid S34D with the Pirelli P7. Already can tell that they are far superior. 7 db quieter than the OEM on same section of road. I got 20k miles out of the Yokohama and the inside shoulder of all 4 were through the first layer of rubber.
Neuspeed RSe52 18x8 with 225/40/18 Hankook R-S3 (my current track setup)
Put some super grippy Yokohama's on there and problem solved...
I'm running Yokohama S-Drive's in 195/40's for my 9" and the stretch is good.
I just put on the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2s and the ride and noise level on these are absolutely fantastic for a discount tire. Rain performance is bleh though. I would recommend them for a car you don't corner with every time. Now let's see how long this quiet ride lasts...
The biggest tire buying mistake I've made was a set of Hankook V12's(not the newer evo2 version, which should be better). Honestly had them off my car in three weeks, the only good qualities being comfort and noise level. Feedback was awful, overall grip in both dry and wet was just adequate, and the sidewalls seemed non-existent at a variety of pressure settings.
