Hankook tyres... Any good?

[Bradharding]

Been offered a set of new Hankook tyres 15 195 50's for £26.57. Anyone got any opinions on them?

 

[Djw John]

Cheap and not so cheerful

 

[Bradharding]

Lol So avoid?

 

[C.slicker]

They are awful.

No grip in the dry or wet.

Avoid unless you don't really take corners/mind about getting good starts/care about stopping.

 

[Middo]

not a bad tyre unless you like giving it some beans, in which case i'd avoid them.

 

[Bradharding]

Ok guys, thanks for your advice

You havent tried their RS2 then. Amazing grip, stability, feel.

WTF? 2 year old thread lol.

In the 2yrs since this thread the tyres have moved on

Listen to the 'cs sheep' as usual just cause it's not Pe2 must be crap.

I've got Rs2 on my Cup & binned the conti 3's at just over a 1000 miles, now on 4k & 3 trackdays later & going strong.

70-80% Wet grip of the conti 3's, in the dry only r888's are better, they piss all over parads, contis, dunlops & goodyrs

So depends on what series you have?

There is a reason Rs2's are out of stock in the Uk, they are cheap & awesome

I'm thinking of getting some of these next time I need tyres. I can get PE2's fitted for £230 from Costco.

V12 Evo's are 130 delivered. Can probably get all 4 fitted for £20 as my Grandad knows a tyre fitter.

So for the £80 difference which would you recommend.
