Hankook Ventus STRH06
Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this tyre. Its available in correct 19" size & load rating. I can get 4 fitted & balanced for just £410 all in at my local independent.
I've looked on the net for reviews & can only find mainly from US site.

The tyre looks OK in terms of being suitably legal, it looks like it is relatively new to market!
I have updated the Wiki with this new tyre I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Ran these on my old D2, IMHO very good, handling was better than the Goodyears I had on before.
I did over 30k on them, and still had life left on them when I sold it.

I don't consider I brake or corner hard but only got 18.5k miles on scorpion zeros, down to just under 2mm on fronts & 3.5mm rears, so trying Hankook Ventus 06 STs, 255/55/19/v/111, grip A, temp A, wear 420, recent date code, I've done about 1k miles so far and have not noticed any difference, just as quiet, steers well, feels safe in wet and dry. Bought on line £96 a corner, £16 del Citylink for 4 tyres, £8 a corner fitted locally. The tyre moulded finish is clean and good. I'll see how cost per mile works out £432 a set compared to £600 to £744 quoted for Goodyear Pirelli Michelin.
posted above back in April, still luvin em, I reckon they are good value. Know your limitations, come closer to perfection.

Got them fitted today. The tread pattern looks rather good. They seem to be a very nice tyre for the money. I just hope that they'll last longer than the Pirelli's I had previously.

I think even formula 1 slick tyres last longer than Pirellis on a D3 I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Any more feedback on these tyres,looking at Pirelli ATS but with price of these Hankooks (£96.00 Sterling)it is hard to pass them off with Pirelli almost twice that.

Hiya marcon, still luvin em, bags of grip, stays planted on twisty moorland roads and stops well, whoa man no probs on off-road tracks, no probs with aquaplaning and we've had heavy downpours over last few weeks, wear looking at least as good as tyres costing 60/70% more.
Bikin' weather now so not heaping on the miles in Disco. Know your limitations, come closer to perfection.
