hi i have been looking for new rubber for the 43

i have a set of factory staggered alloys on bridgestone RE050's they are good i must say but still want more

i have a set of factory staggered alloys on conti factory tires i dont like them at all


i am really interested in hankook k110 has any one used them are they any good :doh:
 
What don't you like about the Conti's?

I've always found them to be the best of the premium tyre brands.
 
s i just dont have any confidence with them in fast cornering they have let loose a few times but the bridgestone grip and keep giving

but i want more that is why my local tyre guy said to try these hankook k110

they have a B rating in wet and C for noise not too keen on the tyre pattern i like the asymmetric look

what i really want is more grip keeping to 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear
 
michelin or conti's are the best for our cars.

If the OP is not keen on Conti, then he won't be keen on Mich either as they have the weakest sidewalls in the trade, whereas Bridgestone has one of the firmest.

Dunlop's Sportmaxx RT would provide more grip than the RE050 but would not last as long with Goodyears F1 been in between the two..
 
I have made my mind up to go for k110 v12 hankook

560 euro a full set not bad
 
I am running the new Michelin SP3 since last summer on my 18's. I love them. They have great grip both in the dry and wet and run quieter then the previous SP2's
