2012 Dodge Challenger SRT, bought used, with these tires installed. Staggered 245/45 front, 255/45 rear on 20's. Got some really good feedback from trusted autocross friends, and my opinion is 9/10 for performance! Will probably go with the Ventus V12 evo2 in 275/40-20 on all corners next time, but overall I'm extremely happy with the quality, ESPECIALLY in the summer!!!

Have 104,000 on vehicle. First two sets of tires were Goodyear Eagles. Both sets of Goodyear tires never wore evenly regardless of watching air pressure and wheel alignment. Third set of tires were these Hankook Ventus V12 Evos, Outstanding tires. They wore evenly and never had problems with loosing air pressure like the Goodyears. I'm buying another set for my car. No more Goodyears for me.

Tires grip really good due to the soft rubber compound, but don't buy these if you are looking for a long lasting tire. They have a very low tread life rating (320) so you will be replacing them sooner than most tires. Make sure you get a good alignment as well. These tires wear even quicker without the proper alignment. Otherwise these tires are pretty good overall especially if you have a sporty car.

These are awesome tires, especially for its price. In my opinion the Michelin PS2s are still the best tires but they are not worth the extra money compared to the Ventus V12 EVO2. This set just replaced the V12 EVO K110 so I went back to them...enough said.
