I've run v12's on past vehicles and was happy with them.

I agree with Sincity... for the money, I am sure they are both decent, but there are a lot better tires to be had out there...

Hankook v12's definitely. Ran them on my evo, best bang for your buck. Performs really well in both wet and dry weather. I will definitely be picking up another set after these Dunlop tires goes out,.

Check out Continental DW. They are also Max Summer TIres and only few bucks more than the Hankooks. And they are rated #2 on Tire Rack under Performance Summer Tires.

Dunlop Direzza Star Spec or DZ101?

Star Spec is a track worthy tire. A lot of autocrosser with light cars run it.


I am on my second set of Hankook V12 on my GS400. They run great when new.
