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 ?

    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...

    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?

    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

    a lot of that is due to incorrect tyre pressure in tyres

    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!
