Hankook Tyres - Now On

[Mini Martyn]

As I am now having to replace the fron tyres on my Cooper S (10,500 miles) i have been offered a set of Hankook X104's for £60 plus VAT, size 205, 45 E 17's. Are these any good or should i go for something else?

My MCS's fronts will need doing in about another 1500 miles which means I got about 14000 out of them and I thought that was poor but compared to yours I am feeling better already

Not familiar with Hankook brand on performance cars, it just goes to add to my theory (and others) that tyre rotation is a good idea. In my opinion Hankook are a budget tyre, but I may be wrong. Sounds like you drive your car hard, so it may be false economy. There are good deals around, and Michelin seem to provide good grip and wear quite well, but performance tyres tend to be softer to provide better grip and consequently wear more rapidly.

According to a search ...

Darxar is running 215/40-17 Hankook Vintus Sport K 104s and slegorreta is running a 215/45-17 Hankook of some sort.
