can't fault mine. quite on the road so not a lot of road noise an comfortable ride, not had a chance to use them in mud yet but if they work like they did in the snow no problem.
( as an aside I used to pickup tyres from hankook in daventry to take back to tyrefort, they always say you can tell if a tyre is a good one by the way it bowls, hankook ran a lot straighter than a lot of the more expensive brands and not found many people haveing big problems with them)

I've got hankook road tyres on my daily driver very quiet and smooth, weearing quite well apart from n/s front which I've been meaning to get tracked all year :banghead:
I think I had them on my tuscon didn't notice them so must be ok :017:

Got 'em on the wife's old 318 Touring, they are nice and quiet at the back where an estate usually seems more noisy if the tyres have overly stiff sidewalls, good ride, stable in the wet, seem to be lasting well even on the driven wheels so will buy again.
Oh, come to think of it I did that already and put a set on the nipper's Fiesta, they must have done 15K now too and still going strong, so would say they last well also.
Edit:
Just remembered that Michelin have an interest in them, it's either 5% or 15% but can't remember which, so chances are there has probably been some technology interchange there at some time.
