Hancook Tyres

[mike325112]

Just about to swap my rear tyres on the 1'er, my local independent tyre place can get Hancooks (RTF's) for £20 a corner cheaper than the Bridgestones I have now. Anyone tried the Hancook RTF's, are they any good? I have heard of them before buit I don't know anyone who has used them.

Are they like Hankook?

Ahhh so thats why the search didn't turn up much....

Anyone got any experience of Hankook RTF tyres then?

Mods can someone change the title please?

Surely its worth 20 quid a corner to get the good ones?

On reflection yes it is. I'm looking to sell it in the next few weeks so having decent rubber will be a plus on the selling points (hopefully).

Hankook make very good track day tyres, I use the RS-2's on my M3 as do many others. No idea what their normal road tyres are like though.

If you want RFT's go with the Goodyears, the Bridgestones are awful in comparison.

For £20 I wouldn't bother myself.

'Sfunny because my Bridgestones are fine....

Hankook are good enough for Ford and VW to fit as OE tyres, so why wouldn't they be OK on a toy BM?
