What is bad?
At 26,000 miles on my highway only, well maintained Toyota Avalon Hybrid the tires were so noisy I thought someone swapped out their off road mudder tires. I was embarrassed to drive the car. I contacted Hankook America. They would not do a thing to remedy the situation insisting I have the alignment checked. The Toyota dealer did that for me and the results were near perfect. Still no discount or help at all. I gave them several opportunities to make an acceptable agreement for both of us to no avail. I replaced them with Michelin Primacy Tour all season tires. The handling, ride comfort, and fuel economy were all much better with the Michelin tires that were also less expensive. I will not accept a Hankook tire on any new cars or trucks I purchase in the future.

With these tires I find driving really enjoyable. They are smooth and quiet enough. I've been using tyres of this brand before. I have driven 45k miles using them without any issues.
