We sell a lot of Hankook V4 ES at work. We don't get any complaints about 'em. They seem to last a while, but I don't see them being great for performance.

well i just had em put on today and soon as i pulled out i noticed a difference seems like the sidewall is too soft gonna wait a week see if they get better if not im taking em back getting something else.. might just go back to stock to be honest... but cleveland winters suckass its a tough call man..

I have no idea how they are in winter (Texas), but people seem satisfied buying them. The sidewalls are soft, I know from mounting and dismounting them. I can't imagine anything being worse than the OE Goodyears! Unless you're in a GXP that had Potenzas stock - which have a sidewall hard as steel! But absolutely suck in weather under 45 degrees lol.

lol i do have a gxp! not sure man thinking i might hold on to em for a week see what happens but that soft sidewall doesn't inspire much confidence..

I put these on my wife's 2004 gtp comp g. They have around 35,000 miles and have been a good tire. They were great in the snow the first year, but she started complaining that they were getting bad last winter. I tried it in the snow last year and thought they were still better than the crappy goodyear rsa's on my monte. The hankooks still have a decent amount of tread on them by the way.

I don't have a ls4 car or anything, but i had some hankook ventus hrII's on my old car, a 02 Infiniti I35(fwd car). Definitely good for the first 6 months of having them, then tire wear started to become an issue. Mediocre compared to the bridgestone re960's that were on it before imo :emb: perfect alignment and never spun tires or abused the car ever really. Kinda dissapointing for how expensive they were at the tire shop. Could be just me though...
