They hold just as good, wet or dry, cost half as much as michelin, last longer and my tire guy says they are rounder and require less balancing.
just wondering about anyone else's take on the,. We drive mountain roads HARD. like tail of the dragon every day.

These are all believable subjective opinions except for the bold statement made by the guy that SELLS you tires & makes a bigger profit selling the Hangooks instead of Michelin or any other name brand probably. Be wary of comparing old tires you want to replace to new recently balanced tires.

I concur on the Hankooks. The V12 is a very good wet/dry replacement for PS2s at 1/2 price. The RS-3 is simply amazing as a dry road or track day play tire. Large tread blocks mean early hydroplane in the rain with RS-3s.
