From the tread pattern they look like Hankook V12's

Funny. I just got a quote of 699 for the Hankook v12's today...mounted balanced installed for my 17". Thats why I was asking! This place does lifetime rotation, balancing etc and if a tire ever blows and cant be repaired they cover it.

Does 699 sound right for 17" wheels???

I got four v12's and a four wheel alignment about a month ago for $770.00.

For all tire pricing I would check Tirerack.com or Discounttire.com

Both great sites with a large selection. Tire Rack is one of my all time favorites because you can select your car, tire size options, and even view wheels on your car! Woohoo! lol

That's a good price, I found the same ones for my 17" online for the same price but that was just for the rubber, no balancing or alignment.

I picked up a set of V-12s back in April, they were offering up a nice rebate on TireRack. I wasn't happy with them at first, real slick and wanted to break loose in a hard corner. Nothing like the Ps2's that came off the car. Once I broke them in (2-300 miles) they became very precise and predictable. I'd recommend them.

I just checked Tire Rack, $346 for a set of 4 after rebate. You can have them delivered to an authorized dealer for install and have the rebate mailed to your home. BTW, don't let them try and sell you on a rotation package.

Jay, is it as much drone as the GHL?...GHL sounded nice too, but the drone was pretty bad. That exhaust looks awesome though. Congrats.

Probably more drone. Lol. I'm not kidding but it sounds nuts in person. See you soon.
