So what do you guys think about Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 was looking at running 255/35f 285/35r? I have seen a lot of contrasting reviews. Tirerack is like they suck but car and driver place them behind the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec. Any and all input is appreciated.

 

Any article that puts both the Star Specs and V12's in the same, well, article....is not a credible source. The V12's are fine tire, but are not even rometly fast.

 

I've had them before. They are a good tire, but they wear pretty quick, they are also very noisy.

 

Mike do you have a recommendation for tires that are a good balance of grip and tread life? more towards grip but they have to last like 10kish miles

 

RE-11's, star specs, and the RS3's (but they will be very done at 10k miles and are only so-so in the wet.).

 

If money isn't a huge issue Michelin PS2 is always the go-to choice. Good grip in pretty much all good weathers. You will definitely pay for what you get.

 

Ive got the v-12's on the back and they wore down pretty quick.

 

Any recommendations on places to buy or who can get me a good hook up on mount / balance

 

Tirerack.com....I can almost guarantee you will have them in 1 or 2 days.

 

+1 for RE-11's

 

Ordered 255/35R19 285/35R19 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 should be here tues/wed

 

Did you ship the tires to the house or a shop? From what I remember I wasn't able to haul all 4 tires to the shop with my Z before.

 

I can put 4 wheels/tires, tool box, chair, jack, and a bunch of other little stuff in my Z. Just takes a bit of.......motivation.

 

Mike, WTF is that avatar?

Too late to make any difference, but I like Yoko Advans as a compromise tire, just got a new set for the front last week.

 

For all I know your, or my, great great uncle as todler...smokin' a cig....seated next to his chicken.

 

Wish I had a dollar for every time I sat next to a chicken smoking a cigarette.
