just got a new set of Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 in 255/40/18 on my 06 GS 430 and i LOVE them!!! 1000X's better than the old Yokohama ADVAN that came on the car.

for the price, no complaints! protects the rims better and no rubbing. tested on full u-turns

My car is only three and a half weeks old. I haven't even put gas in it yet (not kidding!).

But I've been around a loooong time, owned many, many cars and I'm really queer (can I say that?) about wheels and tires.

BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S, great traction in snow.

But they follow the groves in the road and make driving on unsmooth roads less comfortable. The stock 245-40-18 Toyos were much, much smoother but they were only summer tires.
