Well, after researching a bit, I decided to go with the Hankook Ventus Evo 12 in stock size. The stock Bridgestones are rated at 140AA. The Hankooks are rated 300AA, which should, in theory give me longer life. The tread pattern should also give me slightly better wet traction, with channels running diagnally out to the outer edges.


Inital thoughts: The tire does not look as 'stretched' as the stock tires, even at the same size (See attached, blurry-as-hell image on the first image). It does ride quiter and more comfortably than my worn-to-death (well, 3/32) stock Potenzas.
