I have the S1 vs. the S12, which has the directional tread design.
TireRack clearanced the S1 several months ago. They now have the Hankook Ventus S12 evo.
The pricing is unbeatable for 19" staggered set. I suggest you order a set now, since they had
less than 10 in stock this afternoon.

Well I got my wheels put on today. I would like to thank Joe and Nerwyll from Trinity for all the help and constant
communication about my wheels. I would also like to thank Frank (mrfva) for all his help on picking out tires.
My setup is Forgestar F14's 19x9 and 19x10in Matte Black. My tires are Hankook's dont remember the model name.
Im on stock suspension and more than likely going to buy eibach lowering springs soon.
Enjoy.

They used PS2's as a baseline tire and both tires faired as good if not better than the PS2's in almost every aspect compared. Can't remember which mag...I'll have to sift through the car mags in my office.
Best part is they are cheap, cheap, cheap. Fronts are like $139, rears $194
I have the predecessor to the V12's, the S1...awesome tire.

Craig, the Hankook Evo V12's were rated the #2 tire behind the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec in a recent tire comparo in a major car magazine.
