I want new tires for my Lexus. I want to keep the road noise LOW as possible. Car is not race or beaten. Its my DD & traveling car. I found both brands going for about the same amount of price. Can't really decide on which set to get. Falken ZE912 or Hankook Ventus V12. I've had the Falkens b4 and they seem decent but I've never had the Ventus V12's. If anyone who's had both of them b4 can tell me which one's better in terms of comfort & quiteness it'll be great. I've read reviews/ratings for the Ventus V12's and I do like it a lot but couldn't find comparison reviews/ratings for the ze912. If they're not comparing these two tires using the same rating system(like on the same website) its still hard to compare. Only use it for Summer driving.

I have the 912's.
They're really only good for a stretch, which is why I have them..
I say get the Hankook. I've heard only good things about them and the 912's do make noise
Hankooks ftw

What size tires are we talking about?
The quietest tire I've ever ridden on was the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity... Replaced the previously quietest tire the Bridgestone Turanza LS...
From Michelin, the Pilot Sport (all of them) is up there, as well as the Energy/Primacy lineups...
Exact tire size will help a lot...

Id run the Hankooks.
I have the 912's on mine now and they arent bad. I havent really carved any good roads with them yet or super bad weather, but they arent bad for normal driving for a good price.
Time will tell though. Most the Falken's dont seem to last all that long and not real great in rain.
As far as quiet, i think mine are quiet. Feels a little floaty when i put these on though. Not sure if thats my imagination or not.
