gone through 2.5 sets of hankook tires V12s

NEVER AGAIN!!! will i purchase a hankook tire

issues i had
- outside sidewall bubbles and hidden inside sidewall bubbles
- soft sidewall, feels like the tires were folding during hard cornering
- grip is below par than whats in its class/price

these issues i had was when they first came into production, it might have change and improve but i will never find out

I did kinda discussed in this tire thread. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post8854705

So far I love this Eco+. But with all this snow and ice and sleet and the road is covered with salt and sand and treatment, I can't say the traction of this tire is good.

If Hankook is cheaper and just as good, I might try it next.
