Default Hankook Tires

Now that it is time to replace my tires. I realize how shitty Hancook tires are. If they are offered to you for free they are still to expensive. There is nothing positive I can say about them. I am running a set of shitty Micheline tires in the rear. As bad as they maybe they are significantly better that hankook tires. I am not sure I can identify a worse tire.

Which Hankook do you have?
I had extremely bad luck with Goodyear eagle f1.
I liked the 275/35 Gmax I have on, but only on the rear, to soft of sidewalls for the front.
Time for another set on back for me next week, I thinking about trying out the continental DWS 275 or 285.
What kind of driving do you do?
Seasons?
Cold weather?

That Hankook V112 or whatever it is that many people on this board rave about. It does not matter what condition they are driven in. They suck. Dry, Wet, Cold, Warm, a mix. They are shitty tires no matter how you slice it. They are honestly the worst tires can ever remember purchasing, They have no traction and they do not wear very well. There is nothing positive I can say about them.

My thread has many different views of these
Got 30,000 miles out of the first set and I'm on my second set currently with 17,000 miles
I don't have an SRT so that might be some of the difference

Well, I do have an SRT and an NA. My opinion of the Hancooks is mixed.


Wear was decent and the handling was also pretty good. My one complaint was a "tread cord Bias" that made the car pull to the left on one set. Dealer wouldn't stand behind it.


Still, I bought them for my truck as well. Like 'em myself.

Ya those are a summer only tire, 50°+
Do you run the stock size or 275 or 285?
Tire pressure?
I get all season tires since it sees colder temps.
The tirerack consumer ratings are alittle better on the continental then th v12's
I had real good luck with wet traction with the Gmax s. Was main reason I bought them.

Had the HANKOOK Ventus V12 and they were ok though nothing really spectacular about them. Currently have the Motivo and I have no complaints so far.
