I will put a good word in for the Hankook V12's also. Replaced Pirelli p Zero. The Hankooks are smooth, quiet, and seem to handle very well. Have not tracked them yet, but pushing them fairly hard on country roads and I like them a lot. Good price too.

I have a separate set of wheels and tires for the track (18" BBS LMs and Hoosier R6 tires).

Good value indeed, but their street tires have a lot to be desired... and sponsoring an event or car doesn't mean anything, just means Hankook paid more to get the tires for that series than others.

Only certain tires are approved by Porsche for the wheels they use. if you have aftermarket wheels then it's probably no big deal. The Michelins are not rated for Porsches.
Couple tire places explained it this way to me, so if it's inaccurate please advise.

What exactly do they have a lot to be desired about? Have you driven them? There are hundreds of positive reviews on these tires. I have driven the EVO's on the street and track and found that they live up to all the positive reviews as it seems have others even on this thread

N rated tires are better balanced .

Do you have any personal experience with these tires? If so please be more descriptive of the problems or lack of performance you experienced." Much to be desired" isn't what I've heard from anyone else about the Hankook.

r-s3 hankook are very decent street/AX/track tires. they get in heat well.
racing tires in series are most likely Z214 DOT. as i understand they are not bad.
all their cheap street tires are garbage.

Having said that, it is very good value for our tire size specially if its simply for street. But as old saying goes, you get what you pay for!
