Hankook V12's...they're the best bang-for-buck tires out there...a great number of positive reviews on msf.org. Great in the rain...amazing price...other than a softer than normal side-wall, they're better than the Falken 615's or Nitto 555's that I have ran before.
I also have the Hankook V12s.

PR3Y11, if the Star Specs and RS-3 (a step up from the V12 in Hankook's product lineup) are considerably cheaper than the V12s then, by all means, pick them up ....but know that the limit of the V12s are quite high and you may not even reach their limit on the street.

it all boils down to what you want to do with the tires..

* If it's just street driving, the V12s are hard to ignore.
* If it's street/auto-x/track, then the RS-3 or AD08 would be the way to go
* If you have another set of rims for auto-x/track then, again, V12s for street and whatever R-compounds you want for the track are a popular combo.
