im not completely opposed to trying them again on my 996tt, but people that think its a great tire. which its not. its the cheapest alternative to run the 235/315 tire combo and it does have decent performance. my friend has been using 19" Nitto Invos on his Evo X that goes 11.2@126 on them. as far as customer service goes, it was non existent - to be honest with you i didnt expect anything more then what i got from a tire company. it was worth a shot though.

Yeah, it's a good article, but it's nearly 2 years old and most of the manufacturers involved have newer products since then.

They should redo that test with the latest from each manufacturer.

That being said, the Hankook Ventus V12 tires are still very highly rated and I know several people who use them and love them. For the price, they're hard to beat.
