russellf Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hi, I got my new car last week, and apart from it being fantastic.....I notice the tyres are made by Hankook !?!? I am quite surprised that Ford use a Korean make. My question is are they any good, as I have never heard of them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harweyko Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 It really depends on series of your car, you can get Hankook EVO S1, Pirelli Zero Nero or Continental SportContac2. I have 16" Hankook tyres and they`re pretty good, after 7300 km there is fast no noticeable wear, very good on wet road (130 km/h in storm without problems), little bit noisy on rough asphalt...

Michael P Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 my mum has hankooks on her kia, the back ones are still the originals i think and they have been on for 5 years, good tyres in my opinion! they'll need replacing soon but they have had a good life span Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danzzza Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I got my mk5 from a ford dealer and they MOT'd it before i got it. It needed 2 front tyres and they put on hankook's, they seem a bit poor to be honest. They seem to always squeal when you pull away, like a proper tyre screech, and im not even pulling away fast! Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus_ST-3 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 mine came with 17" Pirelli PZero Neros fitted Hankooks are good though, had them on my last car. I think they used to be a budget brand but are now more well known Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danzzza Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 a lot of that is due to incorrect tyre pressure in tyres I'll have to check, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichellefromEssex Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Mine came with Hancook too, they were ok for the time I had them on there until I had mountune wheels fitted, now have Dunlop TT Max Sport tyres which will cost a small fortune to replace!
