Tire Recommendations to replace Stock
I got the Hankook Ventus V12's and love them. They are quite, grip well and for the money, it is hard to beat. I must say that these have been great so far. I have put 10k on them and they still grip well.
I have the Hankook's, for the price they are a good tire but I am not a huge fan.
In the dry they do well, but are a little spongy on turns compared to others I have had.
In the wet, they are a little scary under hard breaking. I had the rear end almost come around on me while stopping suddenly for a stop light.
I will probably go with the Pilot's after these go. I have had good experience with with the Falken 452's but after about 50% wear the road noise gets annoying. Dry/Wet they were awesome and same price as the Hankook's installed. JMO

I bought the car at 18k and they came with Hankook Evo V12 Ventus. I am ata bout 35k and need to replace them.
From a cost perspective are these better than the other ones recommended in this thread (i.e. Michelin, Potenza, Pilot) ?

^^Thanks for that info. The sedan uses similar, but 18" and 5% larger (225/50/18, 245/45/18). I'm still torn about going with the PSS's. I shot myself in the foot some years back with goodyear eagle f1 gs d3 tires (on a camaro) that got excellent reviews, but turned out to be crap in stock sizes (very soft sidewalls, resulting in poor steering response).
Uhp summer tire, just got a set.
The treadwear is a 240, so it's a 20,000 mile tire.
So far it's a trade off of price vs quality.
A lot of oem tires are just overpriced.
The oem Yokohamas were 1600 to replace.
These are only 685 with free shipping via tread depot.com

Would this not work because tires are rate W and Y - was told they need to be same?

What is the difference between the two? At Costco/Sams AS3 are averaging about $250/tire and I think it would probably cost me about $100 more total for the Super Sports.
Is it normal to have rear as 98Y and front as 96Y (I might have it vice-versa)
Update to my first question: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...port-a-s3.html
I think I will go with the A/S 3 after skimming that thread
