I recently switched to Nitto Invo and I hope I get 20k out of them. More grip and way more quiet.

EZT - I see your FL.. so similar conditions.. warm, potential lots of rain. were the Hankook v12's your first replacements after the OEM wore out?

Looks like you were happy with them?

But you still went to the Nitto's this time?

One thing you do have to consider is some are picky about tread width and tire looks. In my experiences all season tires run narrower. Example being pilot sports running super wide. Pilot super sports running pretty wide and michelin all seasons running slightly narrow. Excuse my extremely descriptive and specific comparison lol.

They were my first replacements, I wanted Michelin pss but they no longer have 305s. I just wanted a tire with more grip than the v12s. I was happy with them though.

thanks again all for the great feedback..

I decided on the Hankook v12's. price is right, ezt's experience with them in FL conditions. going cheaper means If I dont like them..Ill get something else next time.

cheers!

Or just buy a second set of wheels! Rotate wheel sets, not tires
