I've noticed some of the prices on these tires are less than Good Year and Nitto's. Curious on the performance comparison?

replaced my gy runflats with them....good traction wet or dry and quiet. They seem to wear ok, at 6k miles no problems

If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to get a non runflat tire on your Vette, check out Nexen. They are Korea’s oldest tire maker. In addition, when Michelin has made tires in Korea, they used their factories.

I will give them a shot most likely.

I get this question all the time ~ I love Hankook's high performance stuff (RS2's/now RS3, and the V12 EVO), and plan to run V12 Evos on my own car for the next set, just because they're so cheap.

Car and Driver recently did a review of all the hottest Summer tires, and the Hankook V12 Evos ranked 2nd!

Not bad for a tire that costs half as much! Shoot me a PM or email for special forum pricing :thumbsup:

I've tried them...they didn't last as long as I was hoping.
