Hankook and Kumho

[Nicfoo]

guys ..apologize if this has been discussed before

 

please comment on the korean tyres ..am looking at specs 235/45/18 , 240/45/18

 

and which one is better ..thanks

 

Hankook overprice.

 

Kumho value for money.

 

why not consider Goodyear, there seem to be some good review about their Triplemax. The price seem reasonable also.

Im using kumho KU31, cheap, good and lasting. Last me 50K, bought at $80 for 195/55 R15. Wet and dry equally reasonable. Its the best value for money tyre i had. Of course, I meant value for money, NOT best performance.

 

If you could afford to pay more. Get something like Toyo T1R or Michellin PS3 (currently using). Both are more ex but the performance is better..

I personally like Hankook V12 Evo tyres. Read the link.

i would take oversea tests with a huge ntuc supply of salt

weather diff/ supply source diff/road condition diff/road material different

 

from my experience and those around me used these 2 brands b4, as nicfoo said

 

hankook is way overprice, kumho is cheap thrill but dont expect too much

might as well get champiro hpy or uhp1

Tried v8 when first came out, within 3 day whole thread block got torn out by glass bottle shred, normally will be stuck or poke in at most, for whole chunk torn out from both wheel on right side, no warranty, offer me to change new again at 10% discount, I go elsewhere change conti instead, the build quality is like China toy quality

base on description all tyres wil have same result

all product warranties mostly only cover manufacturers defectsss

the issue is not the warranty

is...build quality and design so lousy its FRAGILE

 

its not a manufacturer defect..that affect selective "sway" tyre...

 

this is DESIGN FLAW...worse..

I'm running ku31 normally for streets... Even use them for gymkhana. Noisy but pretty good stuff. Can't get any better for the price.

I changed out my S1evo after using it for close to 40k km.. Think if your tyre is on 17", can consider S1evo2.

 

Now using Pirelli P zero Nero GT.. Good grip too can consider

[Yeobt]

My V12 so far so good. Clocked ~ 20K km

 

only 20 KM? 20 KM is 6 months for me. that is fast.

The objective is to review the selected tyre's performance under any possible condition. It does not mean the review is utterly fictitious , it just means not to take all things at face value and be discerning. I have chosen the link because I share the reviewer's views.

Try Kumho HS51, replacement for the aging KU31.

 

Tyres straight grooves means quietness is not compromised in this performance tyres

[Keavze]

hankook rs3..excellent grip. lasted one year with 4-5 track days.

[Kennethwong]

Previously use Hankook RS3. Very good tyres for track. $980 per set. Not a bad deal for track and road use

I got it fron SOh Tyre, but it was 4 yrs back i think. Not too sure about the price now.

Hi, any comments on Kumho KH17 tyres?

no offence

my meaning is if A Company has no confidence of its product quality , they wont not give product warranty to consumer
