I'm at Cj's right now getting the hankooks removed and michelin super sports installed. The v12's were making the car too unstable at higher speeds and thats unacceptable.

Does that mean I should monior RTR Forum "For Sale" postings closely because soon some Hankooks will be offered?

No....
Hankook took the tires back and reimbursed me entirely.
+1 for service.

Also, the MPSS's are great. Not quite night and day performance difference but at least morning/afternoon

Any theories as to why the disparity?
It's one of the best things about tire posts!

Different driver, experience level, tire pressure, car, etc. Plus newer tires with a lot of tread depth tend to "squirm" during hard cornering which can be an uncomfortable sensation for sure. Note Todd mentions shaving them down, which CJs can do and you don't have to take them all the way down to get the benefits of improved grip and reduced heat build-up, and still have some tread left for wet conditions. The Hankooks performed extremely well in relatively objective side by side comparisons using the PS2 as the baseline comparitor. C&D I think? It was consistently a top performer in dry traction when compared to other performance oriented tires like the Star Spec and others and outperformed almost all in wet traction if I remember correctly. I was considering them as rain tires but they don't come in the right size.
