I'm currently due for new tires and did some research on these forums and noticed a lot of recommendations for the Hankook V12 EVOs.

I went to several tire shops after checking out Yelp and American Tire Depot quoted me $695 out the door for all 4 tires installed. I thought that was probably the best price I could get and just made my deposit today. I currently have Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires with about 20K miles on it. I was contemplating on buying them again but wanted to try something new.

I was hoping you Hankook owners could chime in on your experiences with these tires and if the price above is reasonable. Thanks!

I had these tires for about 2 1/2 yrs. They don't last very long for IS350 since they can't be rotated and mine lasted for about 30k mine before reaching 4/32 thread. They are not very good in wet condition, I had my back slipped out many times in rain. $695 seems about right.

i have had these tires since May, i love them. Tread is still good and they are wearing very well. I would recommend these to anyone, my 2 cents.

I've had mine on since April 2012 and it's my daily. They've lasted great so far and drive good. I like them.

I heard many good thing about the Hancook V12s but the thread life isnt very high and they're not flippable. I decided to go with Yokohama S-Drives.

I've been to a few tires shop and they told my Hancock are shi3tty tires. i previously own 2 set of Hancock and i have very bad experience with them with air bobbles, air leaks, shifted belts and irregular tire wear (possibly my fault but completely bold.... i mean like no tread thro). recently i brought a set of tires from Goodyear for $670 after rebate.

I work with tires on a daily basis and im not a fan of those. I personally went with Bridgestone Turanza's with Serenity Plus. Extremely quiet tires you dont hear the road very much and they are great in wet weather. Absolutely love them. My only problem with Hankook tires are that I have never seen a set last the entire life they were rated at.

I just had the Bridgestone RE 970 installed on my 2010 ISC250. So far, a great tire. I paid $932 dollars out the door at Firestone dealership.

There good for the price. Wet performance could be better. I'm getting new tires soon. They won't be Hancook.

agreed, they are great in summer time but not so well during wet seasons

15k miles and still going on mine. I won't ever buy them again tho, sidewalls got ugly/wavey from camber. Nitto Invo's ftw.

I just bought a set of Goodyear Eagle GT's for $615 installed. It's the second set I've had on my 07 IS350.

Seems to be a lot of mixed results which is pretty interesting. I'm going to get them installed right now though. I thought the Hankooks were the best bang for the buck. Will report back on my thoughts. Thanks for all the input guys.
