Not reliable!

published

Hankook Optimo K415
Both front tyres replaced by Bob Jane T-marks, only for three weeks both tires are broken and flat on the roads, no nails attached or rubbing of the tire against the road, ripping the tire, or rim by collision with another object. Never buy this brand again!

Long lasting and quiet

published

This is my second set on Hankooks. Just got the front done and I am impressed with these tyres. When I saw them new the first time I thought they were cheap "new car" tyres but they have proven their metal and run 80, 000 kms which I am amazed by. They don't feel hard and have a good sure grip. Good tyres and much better than first impressions.

Good replacement for originals on Elantra

published

My Elantra came with very similar specced Hankooks (Evo) new from the factory and these are a direct replacement. Unfortunately my wife ran it up on a roundabout and although the car wasn't damaged, the front end was put out of alignment causing the tyres to wear to one side. It feels good to have afresh set now and of course I got an alignment at Kmart too. These are good safe tyres that usually wear well.

Ride very smooth with good road feel

published

I am satisfied with these. They seem like quite hard tyres. Visually they dont look as if they have that much tread from new, but they last very well indeed. They are very sure footed wet or dry. My car is front wheel drive but I have never even come close to losing control wet or dry and I live in Melbourne so you can add tram tracks into the mix too. Have never slipped or skidded - not once. I have had to do a few emergency stops and for the ABS going twice - again. Sure footed as a mountain goat. So all in all they are definitely not sports or top tier tyres but the are smooth running, feel very safe and have a decent lifespan.

Great tyres - Safe a good grip

published

Very happy with the choice of these for the Elantra, It came with slightly different Hankooks but these are a good match. The cross over to these was seamless and as we have moved into winter they have proven to have excellent grip in the wet. They ride quiet and the last set were very long wearing (70,000ms) so overall chalk me up as a satisfied customer.

Nice tyre

published

Very good tyres for the price. Purchased through tyre sale's .com.au, very easy to purchase. Nice tyre that sticks to the road. Quiet and comfortable to drive on. Good for medium size cars. Have purchased them previously. Would by them again. Good inexpensive tyres for the medium earning ppl. Long lasting.

Better Than Expected

published

I got these to replace the original Hankooks on my i30.
I was initially not happy with them as original equipment but they put in a solid performance. Over 70000 kms and no flats. Very impressed as they don't look like they come with much tread depth.
After a front end alignment I expect to do the same again. taking one point of for road noise other than that, good.
Note - shop around as prices vary a lot

After reading reviews on this tyre, salesman advised me to get i purchased them, so far so good. Not noise, grips to the road, haven't slid, good in the wet, round bends, up steep hills, incline, no wear or tear (been a year). On a Captiva, 235/50 R19. When time to replace will try and get the same. Recommended.

Reliable tyre

published

This is a Korea made premium tyre. It offers excellent outright grip and longevity, very good performance in both dry- and wet-weather. It has little noise during dry-motorkhana or sharp turning. Comparing with other premium tyres, such as Goodyear Eagle GA plus or Pirelli Cinturato that I have used, it is the best value for money.

Great tyre km wise but sometimes very noisy on our Hyundai i30

published

Tyres have done 70K plus and just at the point of needing to think about replacing with another set. We have found them okay in the wet despite other reviews to the contrary. However, these are fitted to a Hyundai i30 and on some bitumen sections are extremely noisy. But this could also be poor car insulation not necessarily the actual tyre. Apart from that we are thinking of replacing same for same (195/65 R15)

I have been using Hankook tyres for many years and have always found them to be good value for money. They are durable and steer well on my front wheel drive car. I purchase this set on sale and so far have had no problems with them. I will definitely buy these again when the time comes.

Great tyres!

published

Bought these tyres on sale at Jax tyres after getting a flat tyre and realising I hadn't replaced my current set for 80,000 kms! They drive really well, no noise and handle all sorts of conditions. Being at the cheaper end of the market I am still happy with the quality and would definitely recommend them!

Small Car Tire

published

This is a good tire for small front wheel drive cars up to 4cyl.
They steer and brake well even in the wet and ride well on crappy Australian roads.
Do not grab these for a V6 as I have done this before and it too much engine for these tires.
Otherwise no complaints. Seem to be wearing very well.

Great value, Great tyres

published

These tyres are great in all weather conditions and are better performers and quieter than the Bridgestone Ecopia's we tried. We got terrific wear and life out of them the first time, pushing 4yrs and around 80,000kms, trying the Bridgestones was not a good idea as we only got abut 50,000km out of them, they were louder with road noise and not as grippy in the wet.

Great tyres, Great price, Great life

Hankook Optimo K415 are a great set of tyres. They were on the car new and have lasted over 5 years and 70,000 kms. Just bought a new set and will be the only tyres I buy for my car. Great for driving on both bitumen and gravel with its nice deep tread pattern.

Good tyre

Tyres are great for the road but not very good for dirt roads which is expected.
Tyres have had chips taken out of the tread due to driving on lets be honest minimal occasional driving on dirt roads that I do, but that said all round good tyre with good tread life.
So far lasted 50,000kms

Great so far.

published

I have had a set of these for a few months now and will see how they go on durability. The tyres are no noisier than the previous Bridgestone RE001's I had and they were quiet. I was only able to find 3 different tyres off the rack in 225/60VR15 spec to replace the RE001's. A Bridgestone, Falken and these Hankooks. The Hankooks handle well in dry and wet conditions and their ride is good. Tread pattern looks conservative but don't let that put you off. Price was good at $150 each. I was accustomed to paying $180 - $200 per tyre previously.

Good value

Excellent car Tyre, and not too expensive for my Mazda 323, sp20. The Tyres handle well in all conditions, however would handle with more care during wet weather.
Purchased from bob jane T mart, from their wonderful team in coorparoo, Brisbane. Will be back again to this store for another pair when needed.

Hi, sorry but wouldn't have a clue if available in 17", best you either phone a dealer or google it. In regards to low road noise, compared to my previous tyres, these are considerably quieter, very happy with these tyres.

Hi Geoff, I can't say for a certainty but if I could get them for my Jeep Grand Cherokee, I definitely would get them. Like I said before, I am extremely happy with the performance of the K415s on my wife's car. I would think that they would be just as good with other vehicles. If, after you have installed the K415s, your vehicle still drifts, then it's more likely part of a trait of a rear wheel driven vehicle rather than the tires themselves. I'd buy them.

Would they be suitable for 2003 Hyundai Elantra Sedan XD GL?

Potentially; as the car is heavier they may plant to the ground more. All I know in the wet on my lightweight MX-5 they're stupidly dangerous.

The Hyundai Elantra sedan is not much different to our Holden Captiva. Like I said in my original comments, the tyres are incredibly great in both wet and dry conditions. I can only comment on how they have performed in our Captiva but they work well enough that I tried to get them for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Unfortunately that don't make them in the size I needed for the Jeep. I was quite disappointed.

Hope that helps you. I'd get them if it was me - but it's your decision to make.
