Anyone any experience of them?
Need a full set of tyres for the M5 but dont want to spend a fortune, these come in at about £750 for a set. Its the awkward rear size 285/35/19 that limits choice y'see. Everyone on the M5 board rates them pretty highly but they are all yanks on there!
Any other suggestions anyone? Cheers in advance!

Great tyre.
Started off 2010 as a budget tyre and has come on leaps and bounds.
Prices weren't raised last year either wich keeps them cheaper than the other decent brands.

The v12's are highly rated on the mlr but I'm not sure if it's the same tyre mate.

Nice one guys, they sound like a pretty good tyre for the money then!
OE's are Contis but they are £230 ish a corner and dont get the best reviews!

Conti's will grip just aswell but you'll get bugger all mileage.
Not worth the extra ££

S1 is more of an eco tyre.
We fit a lot of them in runflat form to BMW's
The v12 is more performance focused but still getting the durability (grip)
I'd go for the v12's

Those Hankooks look pretty similar to Kumho KU31's!

I actually have the Hankook V12's on my Evo now. Good tyre wet and dry. I would still prefer Eagle F1 GSD3's though
