Input on Hankook tires

What does everyone think about Hankook Sport K104, or any other Hankook tire? Any good or bad experiences?

I had 54000 miles on my Hankook HR-II when I took them off, and could have probably went another 10000 if I wanted to. The only complaint I had was the noise as they wore down.

muhaha they are good tires, they are a lil noisy but not really (just put the radio higher) also they grip like crazy in all conditions. my stupidness put my 17" rims on during the winter and sure enough i was caught in 3 major snowstorms with hankooks k106 i think....they handled like a champ and i never skidded and so on..they are good to me, so far i have had less than about 800 miles, but i guess the thread life is good

i have the same tires. have about 30k on them now, maybe another 10-20k left...i drive hard though. grip is great in the dry. when theyre new the grip is great in the wet too. gets a bit worse as you lose tread.

definitely only a summer tire. i drove it in the winter and they absolutely suck in the snow. dont even think about it.

i have no complaints about the noise. mine were pretty quiet. great tire i think, if youre looking for something not too expensive but still a great performer.

mine are still new, and i like them. they ride pretty good, and they grip good too. i don't think they are noisy at all really.

Ford puts them on thousands of cars and trucks, cant be too bad, and no, the Firestone thing was not Ford's fault. It was Coker Tire's fault, and some bad women drivers that dont even have the brains to drive a shopping cart let alone a SUV with under inflated tires tearing *** down the interstate with kids in car seats.

One of my buddies bought a set in Las Vegas. I named them Hankook MayPop. They may pop if he did not replace them. He replaced three out of four, due to them being junk. I am not sure on which model Hankook he had.

My friend has some on his Ford Expedition and it sounds like we're on the track at Nascar; in other words, they're freaking loud.

Loud = They tell you when they are losing grip. I just put my 225/50/15 Ventus' on yesterday and all I can say is WOW! I'm taking corners faster than I would have ever thought possible in my 'Vic.
