Hi guys

I am due to replace 2 tyres I have Priced the Yoko Advan V103 and the Hankook K104 in 245/40R18 I have deceiced to get the Yoko Smokies but before I do though I would like to know how good/bad they are and should I save a few dollars and get the hankooks (I have heard they a pretty good tyre) I am mainly after a good wet weather tyre as this misses is due any time soon and she will be driving it 90% of the time.

Cheers Guys

I have had both and still have the yokies, Hankooks are not in the same class

What tyres were you running before?

I just got the Yokies so I cannot comment on the wet performance, but from all the reviews I have read, they are the best.

For a few $$'s saved, do you want to find out the Hankooks are not as good ?

I have the Hankook tyres on my car but in 19s

and they arent the best tyres for the wet even with

the 275 at the back. but they are pretty good in the try

just my 2 cents

The Hankooks are definitely not as good.

Have you tried out the Goodyear F1's........I'm running with these on the rears and they are outstanding in the wet with a AA treadwear rating. Also very quiet on the road vs the Dunlops.

Good Luck with the addition to the family....

Cheers Snail shes hasn't got long now. How much you pay for the F1 I can get the yokos for $425

I agree with the the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. I have done 15,000kms on these now. They are quiet and sensational in the wet. Paid $370 a corner. They have won awards/tests all over the world for their wet performance.
