Hankook/BFG/Kumho

[Currahee]

Whihc ones wil you go for? not too noisy tyres...

[Toalson]

Which model u r comparing cos believe there is silent ones for each of the brands.

[Furrynadz]

bfg is a 2nd tier tyre maker

means its technology and design used are from parent michelin

which also implies that designs will come out relatively slower than parent company, and not use the full range of technology also

gforce sport is quite an old model liao

 

hankook/kumho is not too shabby

offer a good range of stuff just able to make the pass grade but nothing that fantastic

mostly overhyped like k104 and 712

 

however hankook does have some interesting designs

 

i go with hankook/bfg/kumho in order

[Kelpie]

I'm using Hankook K104 and like its superb road holding under wet condition and heavy downpour. The tyres are sticky to feel.

among the 3 i go for BFG

[Elantrahatch]

Personally, I am on BF Goodrich, G force Sport. Took it to track as well. Performed way above my expectations.

 

Had an accident with my old Kumhos (not the 712 series) and shun off all Hankook and Kumho. But that doesn't mean its not good.. jus don't feel confident with them in contact with the ground.

[Currahee]

What pressure you pump ar ?

 

Mine I pump 41 PSI on all 4 tyres. Pickup lagi shiok though I think I over-inflate them a little too much. Traction lost a bit also but still enjoy the shorter braking distance.

 

They're getting noisier now though.

 

How long you have yours already ?

1. Wah you probably over inflat but the tyres can still tahan 41 PSI according to spec. I stick to 33 PSI on all the tyres.

 

2. I'm ok with the noise level as its the same if not quieter than my stock tyres. There is no significant changes in my FC with 215/40/R17 for the past 6 months. How about yours?

No significance change in FC for me as well. In fact felt the tyres a little heavier than my previous Firenzas.
