HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO K110 or similar

[bulletza]

Anyone know where I can purchase a new set HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO K110 for cheap cheap! I have a set on my E90 with 70% tread and I'm preparing for my next set.

Sizes are:
2 x 265/30/19 rear
2 x 245/40/19 front

OR

if you have any suggestions on an alternative brand then let me know. Yoko's? Conti's? .... it must be ultra high performance and provide a smooth and safe drive in most weather conditions. Not so fussed about the noise level. If possible, please motivate an alternative wrt. grip (wet & dry), feedback, wear, overall comfort, etc.

The Hankooks are certainly not "ultra high performance". Try something like Michelin PS2 or PSS.

Why do you have such fat tyres on a 320i? Wider tyres does not mean better handling...

Hankook V12 should be fine... i drive fast and never had any issues with the V12's at all.

I would say go for same again if you like but you gonna pay if you want those sizes on there.

I bought the car with those on and they look nice, but I guess I can go a bit narrower to increase handling.

Michelin PSS is just the boss.

If you are happy with the Hankooks then it's probably worth sticking to them. In those sizes whatever you buy is going to be pretty costly, so is it really going to be worth your while spending a chunk extra for marginal grip improvement?

Toyo Proxes is a brilliant tyre without breaking the bank

You'd be surprised how good the Hankook Ventus V12's actually are...

Car and Driver actually compared them to PS2's in a group test:

Ive tried both on the e46 M3.
Hankook cannot hold a candle to the PSS. They should not even be in the same category.

Car and Driver on the other hand...

PSS replaces PS2

 

[Nikhil]

aaaah ok was not aware of that

I got Kumho KU21 on my car now. Before I had V12 Hankook on. The Kumho's gives a better/softer ride, better traction, better mileage and less road noise.

---

Having said that, the Kumhos are more expensive than the Hankook V12.

 

[Chavoos]

Try TWT or Shorty's ,

Shorty's deliver as well. Will pm phone number.
I was asking for other tyres and they offered Hankooks at a decent price.


Riaan, where did you get the Kumhos?

Agree !!

PSS replaces PS2

I thought the PS3 replace the PS2s ?

 

[calypso]

PS2 used to be the top of the range performance tire, now it's the PSS. PS3 is an odd tire in the range.

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

I have a set of Hankooks. ... but not for sale. But, just to let you know, they are very impressive tires. Had them on my M3... I have Michelin PSS on my car at the moment, but the rear profile are too big for my suspension setup, so going back to the Hankooks.

I have 275 30 R19's in Hankook and 275 35 R19's for the Michelin.

PS. They are not cheap tires btw. The only way you will get them cheap, is used.
