C6 - I love the look of the Hankook V12's but just could not get them to work with my Box. I'm very glad you are having luck with them. I wish I would have had the same experience. I repalced them today wiht Yokamohama's all season tires and what a difference. They run smooth and straight. I think I just got a bad set of times. Interesting thought is I took them to UPS today to ship them back and they weighed the tires for shipping. There whas a 1.5 lb difference between the 2 front tires and a 1 lb difference between the back tires. ??????

Is that normal???? I thought that in today's world and production products like these should be very similar!

Don't know but I would consider this as not good at all.

Whoah!!!!!! You definitely got a defective set with a 1.5 lb difference.

Which Yokohama exactly did you replace with?
