To get the most out of your car it's best to stay within the same tire class with very similar grip levels and wet performance. With DZ101s on the front I would probably choose from these tires:

Putting Hankook V12s on might work fine but I expect them to have a bit more wet and dry grip resulting in a little more understeer while cornering. It will still be safe to drive but you might not enjoy running two different tires.

Here is a tire Rack test video with the V12s:

And here is the DZ101 tested:
