Someone said P-Zero Nero could be their choice. I don't recommend them! I've got 'em on now and they are aweful! My previous tires were PS2 and they were fantastic! You really do feel the grip difference! Like wear is better on P-Zero Nero but still, if you've got $$$ use it for PS2 or SS! Michelin is the best! I totally regret buying P-Zero Nero!

As I have mentioned before, Hankook tires are "the best for the money" I never said they are the best period. If you have the money go ahead and spend 500$ per tire more power to you but somehow the math don't add for me.
Maybe I need a different calculator!

I agree that math "don't add" for me either - but there are deals out there. I'm running Conti DW's now and like them over the Hankook Evo's I ran before them. I searched and was lucky to find a member on here selling two fronts for a good price and bought 'em, then only had to dish out retail for the rears.
But if you eat through the tires in half the time, "don't" the math add up to twice the price? In which case you end up paying about the same for two sets of Hankook's or one set of a better, longer lasting tire? that's how I do math, not sure about others.

I can only speak from my own experience and my pocket book. Honestly I don't know what you mean by eating through tires. My Hankooks last a little less than Pzero or Micheline's so you see why it makes sense to me. It also has to do how you drive if you have heavy foot then perhaps you are right I dont so in my case I am happy with them so far for 6 years that I have been using them.
That's cool.

Treadwear on Hankook V12 is 280, it?s kind of low.
Many people like General Exclaim UHP on this forum, but sadly it?s discontinued.

I think there's a lot of debate about Hankook's rate of treadware ( not performance, noise, comfort or grip) but stickly how fast they wear out. So on this, some members said wear is acceptable to them while atrocious to others (me included). Maybe that has a lot to do with how much power you're putting out especially at the rear. To the guys with 525, 528, 530's, treadware is acceptable, but to 535, 545, 550 and the M, and how spirited their driving style is. The HK's just cant hang.
