Hankook tires ?   Message List

Re: Hankook tires ?

Well here's the feedback on the Hankook tires.These were Hankook Radials K 106
tires,I don't know how other tires from them will preform.These tires have
really great feel and traction on dry pavement,they corner really well,precise
pointing and traction.They stop well and the road noise is minimal,they're very
quiet for this type tire.
Their performance on wet roads is excellent.They tread right through standing
water and rain slicked roads,no problem.I really wanted a tire that would do
well in the rain and they have done that.I don't know how mileage will do,check
back in a couple years for that! Overall I give these tire an excellent
rating.I'm very happy with them,and I know my wife can go to work and return
whether it's sunny or raining and I won't worry so much.Morayman..........
