Hi all i'm looking at buying new wheels for m Z, wheels are Wolf S1P tires Hankook V12, has anyone used these tires before? i told the shop i wanted something that's good in the wet with low road noise and not directional, guy at the shop told me this is the tire for you, tire rack say's it a directional summer tire WTF ???, any help would be great. Peace

 

This is the wheels, not really looking for opinions just thought you may be interested

 

Ugly no name wheels.

Great tires. They are the best out there in my opinion.

 

I currently having them on my stock wheels, only had trouble one time during winter/rain because I was stupid. It has good thread life for a set of performance tires. Not sure if it's directional or not, never pay attention to that myself.

And I'm not sure what you were "WTF" about? the directional part or the summer part?

 

Moved to Wheels & Tires...

 

they are directional, they are softer so depending on your driving style they may wear out quickley. i have been running them on my car since i bought it

 

If you searched under V12 , I bet no results would show up.





I usually got 25k + on mine

 

And a ugly no brain opinion

 

Oh yes, the internet such a wonderful place to use the search function or google.

GOOD tires for the price works good in rain/dry...i did some tt and hpde with them...

 

I'm running them on my 08 Nismo...
Stock wheels with 265/35 on the front and 295/30 on the back. Nice tire dry or wet... turn off the TCS and i can get the back loose pretty easy.... softer ride than the bridgestones I had but not as sticky I believe. But a whole lot cheaper to the wallet!

 

I ran a set of these before I swaped wheels. With the new wheels I am running Invos and have found that Hankook V12s are about the same price in 18" and 19" as Invos. Not sure if Hankook realized they were underpriced or not. I ran the V12s on the track twice and felt that they had a much softer sidewall. Not a great cornering tire due to the softer compound but felt good for a DD.

 

Yes I've notice that the sidewalls do feel softer also... alil sloppier in the corners...

 

50 minimum
12 or 20 gauge

 

I'm running v12's right now and they are wearing great. I think. Only been on since march-ish. They ride great and they aren't loud. And they are not a wallet killer.

 

But I'm trying to make them last. I don't spin out constantly or drift or track my car. It's a dd.

 

Their V12 is probably the best bang for the buck sport summer tire out there. Does well in the wet, decent life, good dry response. Nothing bad to say about them. They are directional, however so rotations can be difficult. What sizes are you looking at? Maybe there's an asymmetrical tire in the bunch to choose from.
