How about Hankook, quite a few on here rate them, another one to look at is Kumho, fitted as std on Merc's & VW etc. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Mine came supplied with the Goodyear Excellence tyres and I've found them to be really good, although I've not really had any experience with any other kind of tyre on this vehicle. Must admit I was pleased it hadn't been supplied with the continentals given some of the comments! 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic, Corris Grey with contrast Santorini Black Panoramic Roof, lunar interior, privacy glass, upgraded Meridian system, cooled 18 way front seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive xenons, large screen wash bottle.

I put a set of the Hankook Ventus ST's on mine and have been very happy with them, They look great, work well summer/winter, and are inexpensive compared to the others out there, just my thoughts. Cheers! mike murphy |

My Hankooks are wearing really badly on the inside edge of the front wheels only. They have only been on 10 weeks and covered approx 5000 miles. The same wear is not showing on the rear tyres?

+1 Another vote for Hankook here; I've had them on for 25K miles, and they still have a ton of tread. Very quiet; handle great, and good for rain or snow - and the price cannot be beaten for what they provide. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy! |

+3 I think you should have your alinement checked. My Hankooks are excellent and the tread pattern looks good to. as I have a SC I can tell you they put up with lots of abuse. |

Just to broaden this a bit.... I can only see Hankook and Yokohama advertised here. There's a substantial price gap between the two but is this simply down to the Yoko's being Jap and the Hankook Korean?
