Being a creature of habit, I thoroughly research before I buy a product.

I was about to pull the trigger on the HTRZIII when I read the C&D article with the V12 EVO coming in 2nd. Then I looked at the prices on TR and they were pretty much the same as the HTRZIII - plus they have a $50 rebate going on right now.

Other than the C&D review and a few not very informative reviews of the V12s on other forums, I can't find much on them, and as such cannot bring myself to buy them.

Not sure if they are a better tire than the Sumitomos. They seem to get good reviews (what little I can dig up) about wet performance, a place where the sumis are lacking a little bit.

I'd like to know if anyone has had experience with either/both of these tires and what their feelings were.

Specifically, I want to know more about the Hankook V12 EVO, because I can find a lot of stuff (and have, since I almost bought them) on the HTRZ III, but need something to sway me to/from the direction of the Hankook.

HTR's are the best bargain for the money

We just started getting those tires in recently. We have not had a chance to drive them yet. I was very impresed with the HTRZ III esecially in the wet. Given the tires that the Hankook was tested against I would thing that the HTRZ III is going to be better in the wet.
If I can help just let me know.
