BTW....I have about 1,500 miles on my new Hankook K12 Evos and as others have mentioned, they are significantly quieter than the stocks. Nobody has mentioned this before, but they throw about 1/10 the number of rocks into the wheel wells, which is awesome since that damn noise was one of my pet peeves.
