Hankook tires any good?

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!
OP- of course they're good, haven't you seen their latest commercial? lol

If the rating is low enough that the manufacturer won't offer a mileage warranty I'd be leary. Keep in mind that they are summer tires only. Depending on how much you drive each year you could buy a new set each spring.

I've been running Hankooks for quite a few years, from the K104's to the Ventus V12 Evo's currently on the car. Wear rates are a bit problematic at times, but the cost to performance ratio is one of the best out there. They are a good high-performance tire, which have gotten pretty consistent raves. There are better tires for the money, granted, but these are not cheap, weak tires.
I really like your wheels; what brand are they? What size are you wheels and your tires? I have a black 2010 528i and I plan to purchase a set of black wheels (19") with a chrome lip with a set of Conti's. Your Bimmer really looks good.

Just bought a set of the Hankooks for a Porsche 968. It's mostly a weekend/sunny day car. If I can get 20k miles out of them I'll be estatic. The car gets maybe 3k miles a year, so hopefully they would dry rot before I'd wear out the tread.
..and maybe a DE event every now and then ....that may eat into my tread life a bit.

After a week on running the Hankook's and one DE event, I give them a defite thumbs up. Or course the old tires were pretty worn, so my perspecitve may be tainted.
My experience thus far (<200 miles), quite ride, no road nose, no pavement tracking at all, and great stick.

i'm running the ventus v12 evo's right now.
i like them, but i wouldn't say i LOVE them. they are quiet, smooth, comfortable at autobahn speeds, but they had some balancing issues that took a long time to work out.
i got the ventus v12 evos because the continental extremecontact DWs that i REALLY wanted were out of stock. it hink i want to get those for my next set - mainly for the weight savings
