I ordered Hankook V12's for my 1999 Boxster from a local dealer as they had the Hunter balancing machine and the price was okay. When I picked the car up later that day it had Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires on it, with a higher price! When I pointed this out the salesman he acted like he couldn't believe it, didn't know how this could have happened. I told him to remove them and put my old tires back on as the Hankooks had to be ordered again. The next day the manager called me, apologized for the mix up, he said parts ordered the wrong tires. He offered to get the Hankooks for me or give me the Continentals for the Hankook price. I did some research on the Continentals and decided to keep them at the lower price. So far I have no complaints about them, the ride is quiet, they look good on the car and they are a more expensive tire than the Hankooks.
