"Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2"
Today I had my 3rd set of Hankook Tires installed on the rears.
I again went with the larger size of 285/35/19
This last set of these seen below gave me 26,071 miles until the wear bars were making contact with the street which makes them begin to make a howling noise at high speed.
With the new ones on now it's again very quiet.
The fronts with the same miles on them are not yet in need of replacement.
The old and the new Hankook summer tires seen here.
As you can see I really have minimal camber wear issues on this set of tires after 26,071 miles on them and have not ever had camber wear problems over my 90,000 miles over the past 10 years.
All this without ever having an alignment or any mods to my suspension
The wear bars are circled in red on the old ones.[size=33px]
I know this is an old thread but it is exactly my problem.
I have these tires and have had them on for a very similar mileage and they have got noisy. My wear bars are still not quite flush but the noise is not too nice to live with. I was thinking of replacing them this year but as I will not do 500 miles this year I will wait for next year.
I will go with an all season tire this time and have new tire pressure sensors fitted at that time, my TPMS light came on I the early summer, as they were put on the car in 2004 I think they lasted well. These summer tires are not too good in the spring and fall when temperatures hit 45 to 50 degrees, no grip which means braking is affected.
The fronts are probably not making too much noise and the rears have some inner wear but nothing special, they were Continentals. The rears have not had an alignment, as I could find nobody who could do it and the tires that came of it were not worn to badly on the inside. [/size]
