I have 2 boxsters and a C4 and have been running hankook V12 evo's on all of them for the last 5 years ( at least a dozen sets by now ) and have never had a problem. In fact, I am totally happy with all aspects from price to performance. On the other hand my last set of Michelins (at twice the price ) had 3 failures before 3,000 miles and they do not stand behind them. After being a loyal Michelin buyer for 40 years I now buy hankooks for everything.
