Those with the Hankook Ventus V12's, do you have any noticeable road noise from the front?

Just had them installed, and notice a distinct hum.

Love ventus v12. Amazing in the rain. Much better then er33 or re055a. I would prefer ps3 but the price on v12 is unresistable

I hated the stocked Bridgestones which lasted around 17k...I then had BF Goodwrench G-Force tires which were awesome but a little bit noisy. I love the Hankook V12s that are on my SC430 with stock is250 18s.

Right now im riding around on the stock sc430 tires which suck because they are run-flats but its not costing me anything so im gonna run them to the ground. they are bridgestones 235-40-18s all around. I prefer the stock 225 front and 255 rear. 235s seem to have a slight rub in the front even at stock height.

For me it,s bridgestone or nothing.....
Currently on blizzaks for winter but will shoe her with RE11,s next month.

Once you run these RE11,s it's hard to go back to a cheaper tire. Simply amazing on street and track.

I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S which I would not recommend due to the extreme road noise. They do however handle pretty well but the road noise is almost unbearable at high way speeds. I am thinking of buying the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S to replace them next year.

Dunlop SP Sport 2050. These came on my car when I got it. After 1000 miles they seem OK...
