Sorry for turning this into a tire thread, but just curious as to why you picked this Hankook V12 over the Continental DW or Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position when all of these are priced similarly? I'm seeing a trend that lots of people going with the Hankook over the Continental & Bridgestone, but not quite sure why.
I've had PS2s and Conti DWs before the Hankooks and for the type of driving I've done so far they work just fine and they have great treadlife. The Contis were extremely good in the wet though I do remember that.

One of the big reasons for me as well was being able to rotate the tires inside to outside to get more life out of it after it starts to camber wear. I know for the PS2, DW and S-04 this cannot be done since they are "inside/outside" and not "directional" only tires.
