Endless question on tires

Good tire to roll around on the street, you will get less noise than stock, but less grip and less steering response.

The V12s are super squishy... the feedback is not that great. Turn in is pretty sloppy, but once the sidewall rolls over the tire actually grips pretty well.

I like my Hankooks quite a lot. They are great for street tires. I agree that they would not be the greatest track tires but as you said, I don't track my car. I DO hit the mountain twisties in central AZ quite often and there they feel great. I actually find that they have more grip than the stock Bridgestones had and are quite a bit less noisy. I have 275's in the front and 305's in the back and I paid just at $1250 out the door. I got 16K out of the OEM's and I expect to get quite a bit more from the Hankooks. For a street tire you can't go wrong with them.

I have the v12 and can't feel a big difference between the Bridgestones. I also got 255 front and 285 rear for 1006 mounted and balanced.
