traction
After reading reviews of the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires I decided to try them. I have been using Hankook Ventus V12's and thought I was getting good traction. The Hankooks are a decent tire for mileage, I was averaging over 30k miles per set, but wow these Michelins are worth double the price in terms of traction. I cannot believe the difference, all the comments I read about them are true, I should not have waited so long. My 2 cts.

Congrats! I just ordered Michelin Pilot Super Sports on 19" Avant Garde M310s. I have yet to receive them, but from what I've read, they're crazy good. Are you running stock wheels?

The Hankook V12 EVO is a very good value oriented tire for the price, but it is not equivalent to the Michelin Super Sport.

My set cost me $1500.00 at Americas tire (US Oregon) for 2x 265/30/19 and 2x 245/35/19 this included mounting, balancing, old tire disposal, and free replacement for road hazard coverage. Sounds like a comparable deal.
