I had v12 evo's on my Cooper S. I found them to be very good value and both wet and dry grip was good.

Rubbish!

I have evo 12s (I think that's the name of them)

Dry grip is great and in the wet they are also very good.


This web sight is great for reviews etc

I've still got Hankook winter tyres on my car and they're borderline dangerous in the wet with almost zero grip! In fact, that reminds me, I'm off to change the bloody tyres over!

I have also had Hankook Evo V12 and found them to be an excellent tyre, both in the dry and the wet. I may get a set if i can't afford the Goodyear F1's that i really want, car came with winter tyres on it so could do with sorting it out soon.

Have Hankook Evo V12 on the wife's GTD. Good grip in the dry and wet. The reviews said they were a bit noisy - not found that at all. Comfortable ride.
Wear seems a bit more than GY Assy 2s though. It is a diesel and therefore a bit more prone to wear. Not too expensive if you shop around.
