Hankook's have one of the best road hazard warranties as well. Worked wonders when I blew a tire out.

Hankook does t supply road hazard warranty, no tire manufacturer does... The retailer you bough the tires from supplies the road hazard...

Same here. Great tire and quiet, nice ride.

That's not entirely true. This is from Hankook's own site:


Eligible tires rendered unserviceable due to non-repairable road hazard must meet following guidelines:
Tire must be listed in eligible products for Road Hazard
Tire must be worn within first 2/32nds
Tire must be within one year from date of purchase

Qualifying tires will be replaced free of charge with a comparable Hankook produced tire. Adjustment procedure is prescribed in the Owner's General Obligation section. Taxes and service charges are not included. The eligible products for Road Hazard warranty are as follows:
VENTUS Line: V12 evo , V4ES , V2 Concept, AS
OPTIMO Line: H727, H426, H725
Mileage Plus II, Dynapro HT (P-Metric), Dynapro AT-M (P-Metric), Enfren Eco
V4ES → Ventus S1 Noble 2 (March, 2013)
* Exclusion
A. This warranty is not applicable to original equipment (OE) tires.
B. Repairable punctures are not covered under this warranty.

This is the same type of adjustment policy that Michelin has, which isn't much of a surprise since Michelin owns 49% of Hankook.

After reading up various posts at CL and outside, I have an impression that the Continental DW and Hankook V12 are both equally good tires for quiet/comfortable ride. And they are priced well.

I will pick up either one, depending on the deal at that time.
