No but they feel like they are if they sit for a day or two for the first five miles of every trip. I'd rather pay the extra cheese and upgrade.

To continue this tire talk. Those with Hancook v12 tires - just how good are they?
They are less than half the price of Michelin sports. I am leary but those who have had them a while, how is the handling for street purposes, the wear rate, the warranty? Do you think they will last as long as Michelin sport tires. Any comments?

Try a set, you will like them. I am currently running the other Hankooks (RS-3s) but I have driven many cars with V12s. Very good grip wet or dry and a good ride with slightly softer sidewall than PS2s. Best bang for the buck right now in Max performance summer tires IMO.
