Tires Hankook or Barum

Had a great Hankook set that had crushed walnuts embedded in the compound.

eu am mers pe Barum. Nu sunt premium, dar nici chinezarii, chiar fabricate in Cehia. Intru in a 3-a iarna cu ele si pana acum si-au facut treaba fara probleme.

I had the same isssues with the Michelins so I swapped them for the hankooks.

Rims don’t protrude as much on hankook ion evos

Hankook sam vozio u identicnoj dimenziji, meni odlicna guma.

Imam ja hankook bas u toj dimenziji, meni je guma odlicna za te novce

I got Hankook Tire Ion Evo AS just about 3 months ago. One thing I immediately noticed is the louder "Tire noise" but not by a lot. Totally tolerable. I just felt good that I got a good Tire for my car.

Now, 7 months in, I had a nail in my tire and I took it to Hankook tire and they fixed it for $20 or something. A day after fixing the tire, it is still loosing psi by about 12psi.

I contacted the Tire shop and got the following response: see image.

Is it normal that where I got the nail in is close to the unrepairable spot on the tire? With Michelin, i had it even closer to the edge and it was totally repairable and losted the full lifetime.

The tire shop showed me the repair by removing the tire and I can see that the repair was done very professionally. However, the angle of the nail was bad that I have to get a new tire.

Man... I'll say Michellin is quieter but wears out faster. Next time I would just get whatever is cheaper.

I have the Hankook Winter i*cept Evo³ (non-X) and on ice, they don't do great. Dry, snow and wet is great though.

I spin the stock Hankooks on the Mk8 constantly. Which is crazy for a 235 summer tire on a 240hp car.

I used RS4s and as much as I love them as a daily driver/back road tire they’re practically useless as an autocross tire. They need lots of heat to get grippy and I never managed to get that from an autox run.
