quick Hankook V12 Evo2 review, 1st is in convertible section...

Reference: 2015 Touring Sport Roadster with 19" Rays, 15k miles. Also, convertible section a thread was started. size was widened. 255/35 fronts and 295/30 rears.

Less than 1k on tires I thought i'd throw some canyon to them. These tires are super quiet to start, also these lowered the car. At 10k my sport suspension did settle and the difference was significant and now after adding these still lower. The factory add-on front chin diffuser is pretty much flattened. Cant really enter or exit without front scrapping here in Cali.

The tires, I've taken some on ramps and radius exits trying to get a feel of the new rubber, wondered if I needed more steering or less steering, feel soft but still capable, so my canyon run HWY 178 Lake Isabella/Kern River run was going to give me more insight. First corner, all thoughts of "soft" or not capable out the window. I did experience greater comfort and the tires are very compliant but, cornering speeds are much higher and the tires did much better than stockers. Zero issues whatsoever, in fact I experienced what I think Car and Driver mag reported, "deceptibly fast" which 90 feels like 65. The tires are absolutely great and the performance per dollar is hard to beat. I spent for all four installed at BigBrand Tires $830 something with tax and a $100 AMEX card being shipped to me from Hankook. Pretty pleased with the tires. Very very pleased. The aggressive rear alignment was unchanged and the reason at 14k miles the rears were at indicators to change. Fronts looked still new when Hankooks were installed. Cant wait for more corner blasting!!!
