Default Awww yeah. New tires are here!

So Tire Rack was running a sale on the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's and I just couldnt pass up such a good deal so I ordered a set in stock ap1 sizes.
I wanted something a lil more aggressive (like star specs) but the car's daily driven so I compromised on these and the price couldnt be beat.
They got delivered yesterday and all I can say is Tire Rack does not mess around with shipping. Ordered the 16th and were at my door the 19th.
Cant wait to get them mounted and bolted onto the car.
Any people have experience with these tires? What are your opinions on them?

I just got these put on the beginning of the month, they are great in the rain and super quiet. How much did you end up paying? I paid 500$ for tires mounted/balanced w/warranty. Then they had a 100$ rebate +hankooks 80$ rebate.

15k miles?? Jeez you might have a bad alignment. I got 18k miles on mines and the fronts look almost new. The rears are almost gone.

running these now with almost oem alignment. 40k on them and I hit canyons at least once a week. can't be more happier for the price.
but then again those are on the harder side but very good choice for DD. Take rain very nicely - did 10 hours straigt of driving SF to Canada on mountain roads and never felt uncomfortable. With 80 off on tiretrack I may pick them again but in diff size.

//ps: there is whole thread here on v12s
