Review on Hankook Tire K424 (Optimo ME02) 195/60 R15 88H summer by Adam Fido ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

I will refrain from rating "excellent" in the report. Driving experience - 15 years. The cars were domestic and foreign. Now all-wheel drive. So, directly about these tires. Dimension 235x60xR16. Made in Korea. I bought it in an online store, focusing on such reviews, so I am writing my own in gratitude to the community. Traveled about 5 thousand kilometers: regions: YNAO, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Hong Kong and Hong Kong regions, Kazakhstan. Basically - on dry asphalt roads: the car seems to be rolling by itself, the consumption subjectively fell by 1 liter. Silent - very happy and provokes acceleration to hear the pleasant roar of the engine. The ABS on this type of road never worked, and it was necessary to brake urgently (in Kazakhstan, I got distracted, missed the sharp braking of the Mercedes GL350 ahead in heavy traffic (I remembered the nameplate), which scared him! ))) It happened, thanks to the reaction, the brakes and, of course, rubber. I had a chance to ride on freshly fallen snow at a temperature of about minus 5 (in late May - early June 2022 it was cool in Western Siberia): predictable braking and acceleration in the city. Of course, helped ABS, ESP and the lack of fanaticism. On wet roads and puddles after summer showers: good resistance to aquaplaning, respectively good stability and braking on wet roads. On sand, primer and light mud (fishing): the patency is good, I didn’t have to sit waiting for the tractor. Again, the absence of a false feeling of "Wow, I can do everything!" Helped. Highway "Salym - Uvat" (who knows - understood): I caught a couple - three (dozens!) of holes in the asphalt until the shock absorber strikers worked, there were no hernias. In the same place, twice it was necessary to sharply dodge onto the side of the road from another failure - there was no side slip on unstable ground. In general, even on a bad road, the comfort is very good, which allows you to keep the average speed higher. Thanks again for the reports on which I bought this rubber, I hope mine will also help those in search! Thank you for attention! Good luck to all!

Pros
  • Grippy, economical, silent, light (easy to balance, few weights), soft, good aquaplaning resistance, good impact resistance, price. Predictability on any type of road.
Cons
  • Didn't notice
