Hankook V12 tires anyone?


Recommended Posts

Seeing how I had a good experience with the 19" Hankook V12's, I decided to have them installed on my stock 18" turbo wheels. I'm now realizing this turned out to be a bad idea. The handling is terrible - Floaty definitely describes it - like you turn and the car has to catch up with the tire direction. Most notable on tight turns and quick lane changes. Down right scary - although I haven't broken traction or engaged the PSM; it just feels weird and scary. I'm hoping more miles will erase the handling problems as others have indicated but my recommendation would be to steer clear of these on 18" wheels.

I had Hankook V12s on my 02 996tt. They were the worst tires I have ever owned. After the Hankook tires wore out I switched to Sumitomo HTRs. The Sumitomos are excellent in handling & tread wear. Great alternatives to Michelins I use to put on, as the Sumitomos are half the price.

Let me know if you want any more info.
