2012 R8 4.2 - Tire Selection (limited)

[hellr4isEr]

Just got a used 2012 R8 with the 305s in the rear with almost bald tires. Unfortunately :( . The only tires that I can get right away are the Pirelli PZero or the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2. Should I go OEM or Hankook? I will be replacing all 4. Any help would be appreciated so I can order and install and get some weeks of enjoyment before the snow.

Side note: I want the Michelin Pilot Super Sport but they are on a nationwide backorder (for rears) it seems.

I'd go OEM with the pzeros, sucks the supersports are on bo.

hankooks v12 is what i will be getting when time comes to replace my tires. im not a fan of the oem tires.

had v12's on my a5 and its a great tire for the price

Interesting, I always liked P-zeros.... Never used any of the cheaper brands before.

ud be surprised. hankooks are cheap but for the performance they are awesome. theres a few r8 owners I know that run hankooks for the summer and they love em. its about 600 shipped for a set of 4 in oem sizes (19's). cant go wrong. they have GREAT reviews too! a solid definition of bang for the buck

my p zeros are so noisy at low speeds and turns when temps dropped under 70 its annoying
