Well done, but I wont buy any more.

I give an assessment in comparison with the previous Michelin Energy Saver made in Italy. Particularly in terms of sound. The sound of Hankook wasn't exactly disturbing, just different. So far, thank God, I have not had a chance to experience Hankook during sharp (emergency) braking. With a sharp, but, say, still moderate - it slows down normally. At Michelin, ABS worked much more often (although, it is clear that it was not tested in identical conditions and situations).

The previous Michelin was more than satisfactory, but that one was Italian, and now Michelin is only 2022, and Hankuk also bribed with foreign production. Plus, that Michelin was "native" from the Kia salon, and now Hankooks are also regularly installed on Kia.

Pros

Good grip on asphalt. Handling on the highway at 100-120 km / h, normal and at 140-150 km / h. Including in the rain. I did not risk large puddles, I dumped them up to 70-90 in a straight line. Country road, grass (such as in the country) at low speed rides normally.

Cons

It's not that noisy, just the sound is a little different and depends more on the road surface. Not like asphalt country roads, but on asphalt of different "fractions". On smooth, "fine-grained" asphalt, the noise is the same, on "coarse-grained" - noticeably different.
