Where did you buy them?

I had these Hankook V12s on my OEM wheels and didn't like the handling due to the softer sidewalls and got rid of them in about 5k miles for PSS. They will handle rain better than the PSS but that was the only positive i can think of. Don't try either tires (PSS or V12) in the snow on the F.
