Default guys with hankooks tires how are they holding up?

I am about to order some tires and i was looking at Hankooks, i was just wondering how they are holding up and how the traction is with them?

got my first set of Ventus ST RH06 on 6/08 and just replaced them with a wider set on 10/10 IIRC. so that's 2 years. Up until 5/10 I was driving over 500 miles per week. So that's apx 38,000 miles Plus. Including doing burnouts and constantly launching hard.

Grip was always great.

I bought Ventus ST RH06 285/50/20s the first week of November and these are a lot better than the Kumho Excta STXs that came with my wheels. Wet traction is better as well.

Unfortunately my truck is weak, so I can't attest to burnout durability.

Agree 100% on them being better than the Kumho STX's. Had 2 of those on these wheels when I got them and WoW the Hankooks were considerably better in every way. Rode way better.
