I had a set of Hankook Ventus v12...
Had them for about 3 yrs and 17k miles, including 10+ days @ Sebring and 3 yrs worth of BRBS shenanigans - which Kevin knows little about. ;). I like the Hankooks... they were/are reasonably priced (can get a set of 19's for about $800). @ 17K miles, there was still another 2 - 3k miles in for the rears (again, note the abuse I put on them). Just checking TireRack... and with the rebate on Hankook is running, you can get a set of 18's for under $600.

All said, I did switch over to Super Sports just now. While I like the Hankooks... I want to get more out of the time on the track and I needed something better for the track. So, I decided I would spend more (another $400 more for a set) and get the PSS's. If tracking isn't high on my priority list... I'd stick with the Hankooks and use that money to buy everyone drinks @ this year's BRBS. AliAlas... I did spent the money. sorry. :D
