HANKOOK on VW JETTA

[Rickyokc]

I went to VW showroom to look at the Jetta. Surprise to see HANKOOK tyre used as oem on German machine...what the surprise a german car with korean tyre...

 

What do you think about HANKOOK (Korean) tyre on german machine as oem??? its Cost saving or Hankook have such a good quality like Conti

[Abba]

I did a quick search and found that "HANKOOK Tire To Supply Tires To AUDI

[Lplate]

Think from previous threads there were ppl who made positive remarks for Hankook. Subjective i guess, as a personal stand i won't endanger my life yet paying premium for kimchi when i can get G3 at even lower rates.

Every products goes through the process...Time n quality will tell.....

[Contax]

You're inviting flaming war again.Be prepare

[Bulls_is_back]

everytime the H word is mentioned, guess who turns up ...

[Hamburger]

objectively u r not looking things at its perspective.me using kimchi now n jap then.kimchi is just as gd if not better.so do not jump to conclusion for things u never try b4. no hard feeling....

[Lplate]

The Koreans cannot make it lah. I'm an employee to one of the biggest Kor group and darn e Kor r wow....

 

True products will prove itself if u're willing to try. To be on e prudence just take some product that has been used & tested in e local road conditions.

Hankook was 1 of e consideration back then when i was waiting for collection of my car. Went to many tyre shops for comments & check rates. Final conclusion is even if it's e same as a BS, how come it's more ex? Paying for their ads or other overheads huh?

[Contax]

Not all products are bad from them bro.

 

I did own a minute atos for about 6 yrs with just only wear and tear parts which is common on everymake.Never brake down or anything on my watch.

 

TYres I have not try but I think I'm willing to give the Hankook RS2 a go later this year.

[Lplate]

Maybe i'm just extremely bias

Same thingy for my ride when i was considering some options. e Kor(s) come to me everyday telling me to get a Hyundai or Kia when 90% of them r driving Japs co. car. Seems to me like they dun really trust their own stuff

Pls. don't me, ok? I m juz expressing my personal view.

 

Well, i hav always been skeptical of Korean products, no samsung, LG & whatever. This is until i was looking 4 a new set of Tyre to replace my Falken ZE328 on my 2001 Sunny. I hav already set my mind 2 change it to Michelin XM1. On chance, i bump into Hankook V8. I was surprised that it is tyre technology partner of Hamann. My 2nd surprise was, for my Sunny size (185/65 14), tis is highest speed rating(V rating) i had found. So, i give it try. Til now (almost 2k), very happy man. I could turn in corner @ hi speed. D tyre can take it but my suspension cannot. In addition, as my wif need 2 do quick u-turn every morning, she feels d ka planted on d ground as compared to previously (Quoted "D ka feels like flying off").

i was forced to do an e brake on 2 occasion on my V8.I must say they r gd if not excellent.btw,me choose v8 bcos of the gd reviews it has n the savings compare to GR80.

[Contax]

Orh....at first I thought you are a driving a car with V8 until I read your second sentence

[Lplate]

Bias guy here again. Personally can't seem to trust reviews. I only know past NSH runs i did travelling mostly at 160-180km/hr for around 700km with e rain, i need a gd set of road tyres.

[Robertoon]

No wonder...Most tyre shop have bad remarks on HANKOOK especially, coz they cannot get assess to it...

[Robertoon]

He is using V8....

[Robertoon]

i totally agree to your view. Tyre review is just a consideration as it is not in local condition.
