Default Hankook Ventus V12 EVO

Hi guys,

I was about to buy Hankook Ventus V12 EVO tires for the front and rear of my car. Are they any good or should I avoid them???

They are great street tires! Great price, good grip and handling. I've been running them for a few sets now and very happy with them. If tracking the car might want to take the step up to RS3's but those will have even worse tire life.
I do go through them quickly but at the price point thats fine with me.

You guys should put the factory Bridgestone’s back on the car so you can either remember, or understand what good handling means in this car.

Lol. The re050's really are insanely overpriced. I'd never waste my money on them again.

When it comes to tires, you get what you pay for.

As a general rule, yes. In the specific case of the RE050, there are definitely better tires for the money, as well as cheaper tires that are better. The V12 would not fit into that category though

Usually true but as said above there are much better tires for less money. Which id why I'd never waste money on them.
