Cheap tire lesson stay away from Hankook

[virtualfriday]

Any one else run Hankook Venture tires on their 100? Bought a set 2 years 25K miles ago and they cupped like crazy. I rotated them and the fronts and rears continue to get worse. Turns out they are made cheaply and can not handle the 100's weight. A google search shows lots of complaints.

Did you rotate them every 5k or so? If so, and they still cupped, maybe you got a bum set of tires. That sucks, but I've learned the key to even wear is consistant tire pressure and frequent rotation.

Sounds like you didn't take care of the tires and they were P Metric. Hankook makes a good tire.

Hankook gives you everything but not lasting long
it won't last like Dunlop or Bridgestone
and I think they worth their soft ride

Still shopping for a RPL for my junk Hankooks, stumbled upon many more reviews from people with the same problem. Seems like it is a cheaply made tire not able to handle the weight of the LC.

Correction it is the Hankook Ventus AS RH07

I've ran Hankook's on my cars (BMW's and Audi's) for years, never had an issue.

I've had great luck with Michelin LTX/MS and BFG AT/KO's. Rotated every 9-10k lasted 60k+ with good thread, even wear and balanced. With tires you get what you pay for JMHO

I run Hankook Dynapro ATM's on the 450. Had them on there for 47,000 miles now. Looks like they could go at least another 20-25K. Good tire, low noise, and great traction...

Dude you have 2 posts both bashing Hankook, do you work for Nitto or something....

Like I said all the Hankook I've ever run were great...

My Hankook tires ate doing fine. When I bought the rig, the po just had put them on. I was going to "upgrade", but they have been great.
