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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The item is very cool, it could be worse.

Rubber is not for racing, not for aggressive driving. With a quiet ride at speeds up to 120 - quite a suitable option. Quite comfortable, not too noisy, and quite soft, small joints are audible, but almost imperceptible. Regarding the "transitional" season - they returned in late autumn from the dacha, the night before it snowed, and nothing, 500 km along a snow-covered primer, ice rut, asphalt with snow porridge - we reached the house, Khankuk overcame, the main thing is not to push the slipper hard. True, I don’t want to repeat it anymore . And a housemate - in general, he drives such tires all year round .

Pros
  • Relatively low price, decent handling, low noise. Good traction on dry and wet (and even very wet) asphalt, on the primer. Not afraid of small holes. And even on wet snow at positive temperatures, you can drive very carefully .
Cons
  • Soft and weak sidewall (stability in turns - 3+, afraid of side cuts). Doesn't like to "save" fuel. I supplement after winter storage. All wheels were stored in the same way, assembled, BUT one noticeably "crooked" during the winter holidays. Looks like the build quality is off.
