Used Michelin PS2 vs new Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110

I am looking for some tires for my 19" wheels on 2006 C2s.

and just came out the the question.

I found some ps2s on ebay with about 60~70% tread left about for $500.

and Hankook v12 is about $750 for brand new.

I do not track it, and it's weekend toy.

which one will be better choice for me?

Cool

I'd get the Hankooks.

They beat the PS2's in almost every test in the Car & Driver comparison.

Buy the new ones. You never know what you get on ebay.

The Hankooks do have a more open tread design with smaller treadblocks. The result is the "squirm" he refers to. Some don't mind it, some hate it. The Hankooks are better in the rain though, as a result.

Tradeoffs......
