You were going along fine up until this point. I don't care if they are the best tire ever made, "Hankook" is a stupid name. At least they could have had the courtesy to steal an existing American name (like Bridgestone/Firestone).

I think they are a key component to the Lightning package.

Must be a Florida thing. They DO suck. But they ARE cheap
and last longer (Economical not Performance). I think that is
what I said all along. Also, the reason you guys in FL get
traction in the rain is because there is a large percentage of
coral and/or sand in your macadam. I noticed the difference
when I was at Sebring.
Try to pay attention, it's really easy ...

As soon as I finally burn up the 'gooks (and I have been trying! Dayum they are HARD),
I will be back on F1's ... My life's worth a bit more than $400.00 to me.
Have a good day, and sorry for the misunderstandings.

I think the tread looks great on these tires, I think the sidewall will have to grow on me, but for the extra mileage I'll get, I think I can make do.
Thanks again,
Jim
Thanks again,

Let us know what you think when you finally get them on, I think you will be pretty pleased with them.

Yet here you are, the owner of not one, but now, your brand new second set of ****ty hankooks, not complaining now though I see. The argument you kept making if I remember correctly was that you had this expensive truck, this great suspension and couldn't utilize any of it with these ****ty tires, I guess they aren't so bad now are they.... keep trying cliff.

The only time I would be using the street tires on-track would be for
rain tires. I haven't used street tires on-track since the second event I
attended. Please keep the issues straight. Basically we were debating
the fact that y'all claimed that a 420 rated hard rubber tire out-performed
the stock Goodyear F1's and that is just plain horse-feathers.
We're done ...

No Cliff, we we're done when you said this-
And you bought your second set of Hankooks, that's all. I can dig up more and even funnier quotes if you'd like me too.
I just having fun with this now
