  • Solid centerline rib Improves driving feel and stability
  • 4 circumferential grooves quickly evacuates water from the footprint
  • Converging lateral slots reduce noise and provide greater stability and ride comfort
  • High density siping creates hundreds of biting edges to improve snow traction
  • Featuring CCT (Carbon Compounding Technology) and FSO (Footprint Shape Optimization)

Got these tires for my 08 Honda Civic Hybrid after the Bridgestones that came with the car wore out at 32850 miles(they are supposed to get 60000). These tires run quiet and really grip the road. This week we're having two major snowstorms in the Hudson Valley. The roads are covered in slush and snow but these tires haven't lost traction on any of it! The Bridgestones would slip and slide giving me a queasy feeling. The Hankooks are also warrantied for 100,000 miles but I'll have to see about the real world mileage. I would not hesitate to recommend these tires to anyone.

Got a set of four in September from Tire Rack for $275 installed (at a local dealer). I'm still amazed that tires this good are so cheap.

On dry pavement these tires stuck to the road like hot tar, thought they didn't feel as 'firm' as my old tires (probably just not used to them, or need to fiddle with tire pressure) around turns.

Wet pavement was never an issue, no matter how deep the puddle they just sailed through as if there was no water there.

Then came the Feb. 1st winter storm (tonight). Driving through 8" of snow with no issues at all, powering through 2-4' (that's feet) drifts on the right side of the road and watching them break over the hood of my car like waves. Stopping was drama free, regardless of the road grade or snow cover. No skidding, no sliding, just an even controlled stop.

This is my fourth set of tires on my Mits Galant, and up to now, I thought it was my car that was bad in the winter, what a shame it has 225k on it.

Can't speak to the tread life on these, but I typically put on 25k a year. If they wear well over this year, will definitely buy a set for my next car.
