Guys soon I'll need to change tires on my 20" Work VSXX. I'm looking at the hankook ventus v12. Before I make the final decision I wanna hear your past experience and feedback on these tires. I dont race or track my car at all. I use my car mainly for spirited driving and cruising around. Also I use my car as a daily driver. My main concern is tire wear, road noise. Please submit your feedbacks and opinions.

Thanks

Tommy

I got them and they are great. It's been only 100 miles though lol

I had Falken 452s before I replaced them w/ the V12s and I don't know why I didn't change it earlier. Hardly any road noise. I've driven on it for about 7,000 miles and I hardly see any wear n tear.

Can't help you on the wear because I just had them installed a couple of weeks ago. Road noise is pretty minimal though.

I only heard good stuff about them. Also for the price, I heard its a bargain.

Most people who used the are satisfied but it looks like one person is NOT happy with them.

Great tires all around. I have them on my s2000 and just ordered a set of 245-35-20s for my LS430.

I got them on my Work Gnosis GS2.. 20".. 245/35 front 275/30 back. I thought they handled pretty well during our recent rain storms and gripped pretty well. They're almost a year old and I logged 20K miles on them so far. Wear is even and I still got a lot of tread left. Not sure if I'm being hypersensitive but the noise level seems to be creeping up a bit but it's still quiet. I'm very happy with these tires.

I bought a set of wheels that had these tires on them and they were brand new (at most a 100 miles on them). I was extremely happy with them. They were quiet, rode well, and had better than average wet weather traction. I don't drive my GS hard but do drive in a "spirited" manner around town and I would consider these tires to be a little soft in corners....which was not a big deal to me with my driving style. After 12k miles they were still quiet, wore very evenly, and had retained their traction but seemed to be a small difference. I measured the tread and was just barely 5/32 all the way around....so I replaced them.

I did not buy another set but for the money they are a reasonable value. YMMV.

Did you ever flipped the tires? If so, how many times? Or didn't do anything and it last 20k?

@ GS4, tires are in the same spot. I suppose I could put the right side tires on the left and the left on the right. Since the wear patern looks even I didn't bother.

OP did you end up getting the Hankook tires - if so where did you grab from? I'm trying to figure out the best place to buy from, need them for my '08 Is 350. I still have my winter tires on
