Question Hankooks ?

I'm thinking of buying a set of Hankooks for my L. Has anyone had any experience with the Ventus ST RH06 All Season 295R45 18" tires?

I only like the hankooks cus i can drive hard on em all the time and they seem to wear very slow. ive benn through 3 sets of f1's and i dont have the money to keep buying them. You will sacrafice handling if u buy the hankooks. you will get what u pay for.

i love my Hankooks. They hook better than my F1s did (F1s with 1/2 tread life). With my mods on hankooks on fresh pavement, i can leave about 20 marks before it hooks. Thing with hankooks is due to the tread design, you have more rubber on the road than a F1.

ride is a bit worse with hankooks though. but they are wearing pretty slow.

The Hankooks are a good choice for a daily driver, great in the rain. They are harder than the F1's so wear is better but at-the-limit performance is reduced.

I'm with you there ... They are a piece of sheat ... I don't
know what wear is on the F1's that everyone is comparing to
the Hancook's, but I guarantee that the F1's are better
handling, more traction, poorer wearing, and just a tad more
expensive. < grin >

But if you just want them for a daily driven vehicle, I guess
they are OK....

Got 'em, love 'em. Sticky as all get out. Would get them again, in a heartbeat. They are way less that F1's. I will take the money I save getting Hankooks for the street and by a set of Nittos for the strip. But, that's just me.
