I already notice a smoother ride as well and perhaps even a bit less tire noise at speed.

You'll love the Hankooks if you have not tried them before.
i run on the V12 myself.
only thing is killing me, is the flat spot or whatever you call it.
i drive my car once or twice a week (sometimes even once in two weeks).
for the first 100 mi, the car is shaking like a crazy.
the first time it happen (a month after i bought the tires) i toke it to the tire shop and got them balanced again. car drove like a dream, until the next time i parked it for 2 weeks. wondering if it happen to some of you guys with the Hankook or other tires.
im thinking about moving to the Michelin, but not sure if that i will solve the problem.
other then that, the Henkook's are great. very comfortable (got 18") excellent grip and cost half of the Michelin.
but i would pay the differences if it will solve my problem. i can't go balance my wheels once a month.
