It looks like there is a matching alternative for the GY's.

Here a comparison

mmarx82 · 04-29-2014, 02:56 PM

How do they hold up on the track?

cvp33 · 04-29-2014, 06:39 PM

How can the only have an A for traction vs. AA?

kaamacat · 05-19-2014, 07:07 AM

Has anyone tried these on their ZL1 yet. Seems that reviews show much better than the GYs and a shade lower than the MPSS. I am more interested in HPDE or AutoX feedback if possible. (So far most online reviews are for smaller cars like S2000, WRX....etc)

kaamacat · 05-19-2014, 07:08 AM

And this is for the new gen2 they have out.

SamHouseIII · 06-06-2014, 10:44 PM

OK, it seems like this died.....HAS Anyone used these on the ZL1....thinking of going this way??

crangie · 06-07-2014, 05:43 AM

Will buy them as soon as my current set is used up. about another track weekend.

L99CAMA2011 · 06-07-2014, 06:24 AM

I have them but in 305-30-19. Better grip than the Goodyears more like a step towards track in terms of grip. Stiff but not uncomfortable in my size. Out of the tires I've tries, Bridgestone RE-11, Yokohama AD08R, Goodyear F1s, BF Goodridge G force Rivals , Nitto Nt05s, these are the most composed, comfortable yet highest grip tires I tried but still I am trying to debate if the Bridgestone RE-11 is as good at the extreme limit.

SamHouseIII · 06-07-2014, 08:08 AM

Looks like the wear is slightly better too?

I ran the Hankook Ventus V12's on my 2009 CTS-V after the OE Michelin Pilot's wore out. I got 22k out of the Pilot's, drove the car pretty hard and they were good to the last drop! When I say i drove the car pretty hard I mean in the twisties (never seen the logic of the street burnout).

The Hankooks were 1/2 the price of the Michelins ($900/$1700) BUT they lost their performance at about 8,000 miles. They still had 4-5 32nd's but would get "slimy" when they heated up. I sold the car with the Hankooks on it, but would have sucked it up and went back to the Michelins if I would have had it when they need to be replaced.

FWIW - I am NOT a fan of Goodyear performance tires, I don't think they are a good value (cost/performance/wear). Michelins are the best.....and priced accordingly. Hankooks might be a good choice if you are on a budget or use the car to commute but expect less performance and less life.

I have the R-S3's on my C6 now and had Michelin PSS's before. I like the Hankooks way better. They handle 750rwhp a bit better.

Z/28Dan · 07-27-2014, 09:52 AM

Any opinions on how the Hankooks would fare as a winter tire on the ZL1?

It's going to be that time of year soon enough...

Bosse'sBoss · 04-10-2016, 01:22 PM

Anybody else with the Hankook RS3 (version 2) that can share their experience with them on their ZL1? How do they compare to our stock GY?

yellow69z28rs · 04-11-2016, 10:00 PM

I have them, and I like them, only been on the ground for a week or two so really too early to tell, As L99CAMA2011 above, I too have them in the 305-30-19. Wanted something with a UTQ code of no lower than 200.
I will say they blow away the stock GYs, but in the size and wheel configuration I'm running its not really a fair comparison.
Sorry,
Not much help I know.
