Hankook Tires?

Does anyone have any experience? Pep Boys has these for $85 each. I drive in excess of 50k miles a year, and these are supposed to have a 60k treadlife. It has a tread pattern similar to the Falkens, and looks as if it would be much better in the rain than the RE92s. I will probably get a set in the next couple of days and post some feedback.

I have Hancooks, 17in 235/45 on my car. Not sure which one it is, but it has a crazy tread pattern, with a deep grove in the middle. When we had the REMINANTS of that hurricane a few weeks ago in Jersey, I was driving on 287 S going about 90 the whole way home. My friend has a Jetta with the stock tires, and he couldnt keep up, he was hydoplaning. With these tires in te rain all i felt was a skip at some points going 90mph. I think thats pretty impressive. I def. recommend them. The ones I have are 3 season tires because of the pattern, so some snow tires or reg all season will be need for the winter. Volvo actually uses these tires on the S60R as an option for our customers who want 3 season/all season tires without sacrificing handling and rain capabilities. i got them for 80 bucks, so thats also a good price u got there. I think the actual cost is close to 100 bucks.

I didn't hear anything negative about them and $85 a piece is pretty good price. I just don't let Pep Boys come near by car.

i have Aurora K103 tires and they are made by Hankook - i'm pretty happy with them - but they need to be run on higher psi to prevent cupping.
The weired thing is that those tires are hard to find online as far as sells and reviews
but any local "big rim bling bling" tire shop sells them

local tire shop sells 225/45R-17 for $89 a piece
