Hankook tires?
I know there has been lots of threads on tires, but I have yet to see one about a Hankook, what's your guy's opinions of them? Or any of those specific tires I linked (personal expeirence is best!). I was about to call the guys at the tire store here and have em get some nitto's, but I completely forgot about my truck.. now I know truck tires and tires for my Mustang are totally different, but I saw a commercial for these tires and I had to know(see link below). I've had 5 different brands of tires on my vehicles, some that i paid well over $1,200 for. And my hankooks that I paid right around $500 for, blew them out of them water hands down, non of that " well for the money they're good".
This is one of the two...
Here's the other..
I need a tire that will last a bit longer (between nitto and hankook).
Grip better.
Take turns better.
Anyone wanna help a guy out??

I have some Hankooks on my car right now, and I am VERY happy with their performance and tread wear. (I need something that will give me some grip and decent wear, as my car is a DD and gets A LOT of miles) Liked them better than the Eagles I had on before.

Have anyone of you had experience between the hankooks vs nitto? How did they compare against each other? I realize that nitto seems to be the most popular, so I do expect it to be the more favorable to the folks on here vs the Hankooks.
Kast, did you buy one of the two that I posted? If so which one?

I am 99% sure I have the ones posted in the first link. Normally I would go out and check, but I have my GF's car right now due to mine needing a flywheel and clutch. I like them. I don't go ***** out everywhere I drive, but when I feel like getting spirited they have done pretty good. (My car is pretty much stock in terms of power adders and tunes, FWIW)

I have the V12 EVO,s on my car.Only had them for a month and so far so good.My car handles pretty good on them.I never ran nitto's.My wife and I have Hankooks on our trucks and have had good luck with them so I thought I'd try them on my car.

Hands down for mustangs i have found over most tires i.e nitto ( went through a lot) that hankook tires can stand the test of durability and wear.
