Are Hankook V12's still rated? or are there more favourable options?

Hi Guys,

I've got V12's on all 4 corners at the moment. Fresh on February last year and I've done around 15-16k since and the fronts aren't far off the markers with some of the outer edges looking a litte shagged.

My MOT is due on Thursday and I figured with the impending autumnal rain approaching I might as well kill two birds with one stone.

I've no qualms with the V12's but haven't looked in to tyres properly in about 2 years. I do about 150miles a week on average, mostly B roads. I drive a little harder than I think I do but not all that often. Looking for a 'all year round' tyre. Budget can stretch if warranted but don't want to spend a small fortune. 205.45.16.

Before I slap another two V12's on the front are there other options worth considering?

Ta,

Ben
 
There is a cheaper Kumho tyre that is very very underrated... KU39. Really really impressed me.
 
Ironically I was in this thread first. I was laughing at your comparison of a performance budget tyre to one of the best tyres on the market. Also over double the price.
 
About £25 more for the same tyre size so wouldn't put them that far apart tbh, I'd much rather to spend the extra £25 and get ps3's tbh.
 
Double the price? where?

I'd say its a toss up between PS3s, the hankooks and pirelli p zero nero - all about the £100 mark for 205/45/16
 
Getting Hankooks fitted later today at £80 a corner, PS3's are £125 a corner fitted from BestBuyTyres.

Although not quite double, still a large difference to be honest.
 
where are you paying £35 for fitting as I can get the ps3's for £90. And the hankooks are something like £67 each on camskill.

Its no way near double if you shop around tbh.
 
I actually prefer the Hankook S1 Evo over the Ventus V12 but its still a very good tyre for the money.
 
I prefer the V12s for day-to-day, feel softer than PE2/PS3s. May not be as good performing, but enough for me when stuck on the M25.

A lot cheaper than prices been quoted in here and manufacturers are standard fitting these instead of the latest continental sport contacts, enough evidence for me.
 
scared of much of jump it will be when i buy these had budget at first then got ps3's on front (epic difference) then ps3's to ad08 on front (epic difference) scared if i get them it will ruin handling whats your thoughts
 
and to be honest i love to drive the car on the limit of its grip as its where it comes alive. (Where safe to do so on roads i know)
 
Since i bought my clio, Hankook v12's are all ive had fitted. On my 3rd full set now. It had conti's on before and i can honestly say, the hankooks are a pretty close match for a lot less money!
 
RS2's are soft as hell are they not Danny? In construction and compound! I was impressed with evo S1's on a wet trackday which is a good test of a tyre.
