How do you like the Hankook V12 tires? I originally went with the same tires and thought they rode and handled well, but had a vibration problem between 50 to 60 mph that could not be corrected, despite several rebalancing (road force) attemps. Ultimately replaced the Hankook's with Michelin Pilot Super Sports and the vibration problems have gone away. Perhaps I just had a bad batch of Hankook's.

sorry to hear about the vibration issue, that has to be frustrating. From what I can tell so far, mine ride quite smoothly, although there is some road noise compared to the bridgestones I had mounted previously. However, for less than $200/tire... I really can't complain, nor am i expecting too much.
