hankook tires

[pitbullz]

anybody using it? feedback naman pls how much do these korean tyres sell for? any other alternatives? im planning on getting 175/50 or 55/13 0r 14 thanks

[coiter]

been using hankook tires for almost 3 yrs na (centum k70 ata. 185/65/14). so far ok naman. la pang blow out at ok ang treadwear. nabyahe ko na rin ng malayo although not on a full load. pero mas ok ata kapit at mas matahimik ang yokohama s306. last time i bought it mga 1,300+ ang isa. di ko lang alam ngayon. pero balak kong bumili uli. san ka nakakita? out of stock kasi yung nabilhan ko dati eh.

[jim]

i'm not into korean made tires. i'd rather get indonesian made tires like Gajah Tunggal for the same price.

[pitbullz]

coiter: thanks? san ako nakakita ng ano? ng hankook? sa FHM magkakano na kaya ang s306 ngyn?

jim: ano masasabi mo sa GT?

our Starex had Hankook tires and with all our cars, only in the starex did I experience a tire blowout, buti nalang bagal lang takbo ko nun and a guy on a motorcycle overtook me while pointing at my front passenger side tire. never got to thank the guy though, dumeretso lang sya while i pulled over.

[pitbullz]

thanks...so hankook's are relatively OK? for their price? how about grip? specially on wet roads. i love the grips on my michellin but mich's are too expensive for what i have in mind

[gearspeed]

Alam ko pumuputok din ang michellin.I used hankook before at my suzuki fronte kaso naubos na yung 155/80 R12 at kala ko wala ng hankook na binebenta.Ok naman siya maganda kapit kaso parang mabilis mapudpod lalo na pag wet roads.

[coiter]

pitbullz: haha kala ko may nakita ka nang shop.

bluebimmer: may mga narinig na nga ako regarding the starex tire blowouts. import kasi ata lahat ng starex dati at wala pang official dealerships ang hyundai. because of this, the stock tires are not tropicalized (pang korea weather) kaya hindi kaya ang heat dito sa pinas. kaya either lumolobo or sumasabog. or i could be wrong hehe. ewan ko lang kung nangyari uli yun sa mga hyundai dealer-released vehicels. buti na lang di ka nawalan ng control.

anyway, kung may doubts ka regarding hankook, dun ka na sa mga safe and proven.

[pitbullz]

any alternatives mga bosing? preferably nasa 1300-1500 each by the way ikakabit ko pala sa daihatsu charade ... so di naman masyad mabigat...sana kapag magaan car maapektuhan ang blow-out ratio...i think this has something to do w the steel belts heating up,right?

ny bestfriend's dad used to work for sime darby (before it closed down) and it was a common practice for them to benchmark their competitor's tires.

as he shared, of the lesser-popular tire brands, gajah tunggal (or GT Radial as i see in some of their tires) performed the best overall in these activities. their tests would include simulations of wet and dry grip, treadwear, ride comfort, and noise.

[pitbullz]

so how much are GT's now?

hmmm. imho, lahat ng tires pumuputok. depende yan sa pagaalaga ng alignment and suspension, tsaka sa length ng usage ng tires.

i've known yokohama users who had experienced blowups. on my conversation with them, i've learned that one of them used the tires already for around 6 years, without doing annual alignments, etc. puro pahangin lang ginagawa nya. afaik, the lifespan of a tire, specially here in the philippines is around 3-4 years. goma kasi yan, there would come a time na talagang mag-bri-brittle yan. coupled that with misaligned suspensions, mapapablilis ang upod lalo nyan.

afaik again, tires need proper care too, like making sure the normal pressure is loaded everytime, dapat din maintain the alignment of the suspension and last of all, regularly check the condition of the tire for "bukols, etc..."

[finchy18]

I think its just a lower class brand but it depends talaga. sakin mag 4 years na goodyear ko pero may mga cracks na. ma try nga maxxis

[M]

also depends on the age of the tires. (age in stock ha, not in use)

bought a pair of older stocked falkens para makatipid ng konti (200 peso difference between new and old stock kasi) sa tires. the older falkens now has cracked sidewalls and one has a small bump (bukol) on the inner sidewall. that's only after 3 months of use.

nagsisisi na ko. you do get what you pay for.

[1D4LV]

actually, written on the sidewalls of your tires is the year of the manufacturing date of your tire (hanapin mo lang, sobrang liit eh.)

so you can also determine kung gano na kahaba na stock yung tires, even though it is brand new and un-used.

normally, tires change their characteristics after three years so maski naka store lang yan and hindi nagagamit, medyo lumulutong na.

[pitbullz]

how much are GT's now?

[SupreMacy]

makikisingit na rin po ako sa thread na ito...
meron ba kayong feedbacks tungkol sa indonesian din na goma, "Accelera"
yata yun... medyo mura kasi eh. bake meron na sa inyong nakagamit nito.

thanks.

Just bought hankook k702 tires for my honda city? any advise regarding its performance? tread wear? any blowouts experienced?

[CVT]

Have used Hankook tyres for 3 years on our Gen3 Starex,- no problem encountered. Replaced them with Michelin tyres because of uneven wear due to defective alignment and camber of the Starex's front wheels.

I am now using Hankook tyres for our Grand Starex. Also, the front tyres of our other van are Hankook tyres, too. Again, so far, no problem encountered.

Last December I bought Hankook tires 165/80-13 for P1,500 each for my front wheels to replace my not so old Goodyear tires 205/60-13. Nawala ang vibration ng oto at 80 km/hr up kahit hindi pa naalign(balance, camber, at toe in/out). Lumambot ang steering at mas comfortable na ngayon ang ride ko lalo na sa rough roads kasi matagtag ang malapad na gulong. Nabawasan rin ang road noise.
