[Imuya]

Hi Robert

 

to your reply. Hahahahahaa....

 

 

BTW, i would like to give my commendations to Yap of the Pasir Panjang branch. This type of worker is hard to come by...

[Baxter]

So as the guy at Joo Chiat. Friendly and helpful

Cheers.

Wow really? But how come i got such remarks from a H tyre shop? Maybe they can forsee i'm a real ass so save e trouble dun sell to me? Should be lah.

 

Anyway as of all products it usually bottoms down to personal choice based on influence & past exp. If u perceive it be a superior product so be it.

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.

 

Why V8 is cheaper than GR80? Thought they don't even allow to trade in? Can explain?

[Bulls_is_back]

And having not competitive pricing is good ...

 

Lets look at relative UK pricing for Yoko A048R / Fereral SS 595RS / Hankook RS2 at 225/45R17. I will be the first to agree that absolute prices of tyres in UK will definitely be higher. But look at this

Germany is in the forefront of Automotive technology; Porsche (GT3), Mercedes (McLaren F1), Audi (Lemans, DTM), VW (W12) etc etc a non exhaustive list

 

Guess the chappies @ VW have done their homework N know something that some here don't [laugh]

[Bulls_is_back]

what was your quote for the GR80?

[Falc]

Jetta is a bread and butter model elsewhere, only in Singapore it's positioned for premium.

Is Hankook found on the GTI or Audi??

[Robertoon]

yes on Audi and Ford mondeo too. But not seen in Singapore yet.

[Hamburger]

tink is 145-150.tyre 205/60/16.

[Falc]

Not the Audi and Mondeos in China i hope.

[Robertoon]

Mondeo is in the spain plant. Another Japanese car maker is on the way using HANKOOK too.

[Abba]

hmmm...interesting to note that major leading car manufacturs are acknowledging and sourcing from Hankook. I'm sure they must be smarter than

[Boyboy]

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.

 

g3???

 

u mean, potenza g3??

[Boyboy]

objectively, like many other tyre manufacturers, hankook makes a range of tyres.

 

their low end ones suck, their high-end ones shd be good (rs2 is considered high end or not? anyway, that's pretty damn good)

 

and i could say the same of other non-korean manufacturers.

 

bearing this in mind, look at the price and decide. i dun want to be a brand-whore or mindless brand-basher though i'm partial to china cars
