Tires are horrible IMHO. I don't recommend them to my customers.

Why? Would like to know because I have them. That way, I'll get something else next time.

Ive been wondering about these tires too. How do you like them DK?

Ive been debating between Vrederstein or Hankook V12.

These are my first set of tires, so I have nothing to compare them to. I think they perform well. Drove on the Bear Mt. meet and handle the twisties well. Drove 90mph in rain cutting in and out no problem.

I have the Hankook V12's and I took it out to the track and I LOVE THEM! It sticks like glue and it's really quiet. Vrederstein are great tires as well, but I don't have any personal experience with them. I would go with the Hankook in my opinion.

Hankook was in 2nd place in Car and Driver mag behind the Mich PS2. Can't wait to go back on 245/30/20 and 285/25/20! Thanks Joe

I actually considered the Hancockers. There was a discussion on M5Board about these tires compared to the PS2's. They didn't get the highest marks from a handful of owners, so I opted for the T1R's from members who came from PS2's and went to Toyo. I think it's just personal preference.
