Hankook Ventus Prime K105
Anyone had any experience?What are they compared to Toyo Proxies T1-R ?
I'm looking at getting some 195/50/r15 for my corsa....for everyday use.Do they last long?what about overall grip in the dry and wet?
Thank you.

My mate has these, said they are great all rounders, and they've been on his car for over a year :O, my tr1's lasted 7,000 miles!

I'll admit I've not used these exact tyres. But I've used Hankooks and Toyos and the difference was like night and day.

i only fit toyos cause there cheap, if id had the money at the time i wouldnt have touched them, saying that my proxi 4s are holding up pretty well so far

newer hankooks are a lot better. i find toyo's personally very very over rated. a good old f1 is way better. for an average tyre for average money, falkens arent too bad.

Nic are you saying that the model i specified is a decent tyre?I mean i'm not expecting much from a 40 quid tyre,but do you think they are good allround?
Cheers.

Nic, i'm planing of selling the car in the near future so it's not that big of a deal, but i wanted to fit some ok-ish tyres.Think i'll go with the Hankook's cause i found a place with the right price.Thanks for your time.
Cheers.

Agreed with the Goodyear comment, I ran T1S's and proxie 4s and am now running EF1's and wouldn't go back unless funds were tight.

didnt like the eagle f1's on the corsa thought they were great on bigger and heavier cars but not on my corsa, all my xe corsa's have had continentals fitted and have always been amazing

I'm trying to get different tyres each time on purpose, but the F1s have been so good I'm thinking of just keeping to them.
