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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Car Mitsubishi Lancer X, 1.8l, CVT. Regular Dunlop for 3 seasons completely worn out, and tired of constantly listening to the growing rumble, as if from bearings. Worse than the top ten. Decided to change tires before going on vacation, the benefit is already the end of summer, discounts. I puzzled for a long time what to buy within 4000 per tire, read reviews, test results. As a result, already in the store I made a choice in favor of the Koreans. 4 tires 205/60 R16 cost only 14 thousand. In the tire shop at the store and changed shoes. What can I say: the car immediately became VERY QUIET! On the way back, I got caught in a heavy downpour, so I involuntarily tested the tires for hydroplaning. Satisfied with the result, calmly drove in the rain 120 like on a dry road. Turning and braking are all excellent. So I am satisfied with the purchase, I hope that it will be enough for 3 seasons. Who doubts - buy, I advise with a clear conscience. I went on vacation to the Crimea, drove 4800 km back and forth, the impression of the tires is the most positive - both in the rain and on dry asphalt they drive perfectly, several times I got into pits at speed - there are no external changes. They drive completely silently on smooth asphalt (I didn’t do soundproofing on the car), it doesn’t buzz on rough asphalt, but it rustles :) Irregularities are still well smoothed out. So I recommend!

Pros
  • 1. It holds dry and wet roads well, I tried to stop abruptly - the result is much better than standard rubber. 2. Very quiet - almost inaudible, only in some rough areas a little, but not annoying at all. 3. Soft - very well smooths out all the bumps in the roadway, you don’t notice the small ones at all, the larger ones are gently overcome. 4. Workmanship - so far I can only judge by balancing - loads of 10-15 grams. 5. Rolls out well - I think fuel consumption will drop a little.
Cons
  • Until I found out, a short service life. Usually they write about Korean rubber that it is quickly erased - in this model, the manufacturer, according to him, changed the composition of the rubber to increase wear resistance and reduce noise. Wait and see.
