hankook ventus v12 in 205/40/17 rated W (168mph) Ł78.27 each fully fitted. much better tyre than the parada, excellent reviews and track tests prove awsome grip in dry and wet conditions only being 1 sec a lap slower than dry track tyres and only 1 sec slower than wet track tyres tested on a scooby.

i'd have got them for my focus if they i could but went for the hankook s1's instead and they are great!

Run them on my E46 330d.
Excellent tyre, suits the car perfect!



Toyo Proxes T1-R are a good alternative to Yoko Prada for reasonable money too!

+2, run these on two cars, F1 is a joke imo, a budget tyre with a high price, toyo though better imo than the F1 are not even in the same league as the V12 cookies.
