Guys....I am trying this thing on for the first time. Anyone else using it now? If you are using, how do you feel about it? I've seen somewhere that Hankook beats Toyo and a couple others. Comment please!!!

Now, about the Hankook tires. I run them on my NSX also and I'm very very pleased. Ofcoures, I don't track my car. But for cruising around, they are great. They are also very good in the rain and the thread wear is good also.
Good bang for your buck IMHO.

NSX FoYoAss said:Also, don't quote me on this, but I think I read somewhere that brand spanking new tires need to be broken in a bit before they perform at their peak b/c they are slippery at first? I think? Kinda like motorcycles tires. You have to put a few miles on them before you can really start leaning into turns.
So, just fyi, since I know you just put them on.

Talking about "Hankook tires" as good or bad is like doing the same for "Bridgestone tires" or "Yokohama tires" - it's virtually meaningless unless you specify which model you're talking about. Each tire manufacturer makes a wide variety of different tires for different purposes, from sticky tires for track use to long-life tires for family sedans to winter tires etc etc.PoohBEAR said:Guys....I am trying this thing on for the first time.

nsxtasy said:If you are looking at track tires - tires that typically are very sticky on the track, wear out extremely fast, and are terrible in the rain, they might very well be worth considering. If you are looking for good street tires, those results may or may not be applicable to their other types of tires.

The test in Grassroots Motorsports was done on the Hankook R compound tire. I'm not sure which Hankook tire was tested in that issue.PoohBEAR said:We have beeen talking about Hankook Ventus Sport 104--is this quote refering to the Hankook?
