Closest in feel to an R-compound tire I've had so far. Excellent value for the price. Pretty common tire for cars that are driven to DE/AX.
Coupled with a 20lb or less wheel and the grip level is hard to beat for a street tire that is actually decent in the rain. There is now a an RE-11S so the RE-11 is out.

Hankook V12's - getting better as the weather gets hotter! Approximately 1200 miles on them at this point. Experience includes moderately aggressive street driving, 2 AX's, 1 PDX...happy with purchase(so far). Comparing to Michelin Pilot Sport-no sessions.

I too went with the Hankook Ventus V12's mainly because I was doing a ton of other work to my 99' base and I wanted an economical solution but with performance and a quite ride. I have a little over 2K miles on my car since all the upgrades and I could not be happier with these tires.

I picked them up at Tire Rack's CT warehouse for $432 for a set of four. My thought is that I could buy two sets of rears to each set of fronts and still be under $700. That's just cool!
