Got these Hankook evo2 K120s for my Mazda MX-5. Driven them 5jk spirited miles on a mix of roads, and I gotta say, they’re perfect! Grip is phenomenal and handling in both wet and dry conditions is top-notch. The best part? They didn’t break the bank. If you want performance without the premium price, these are the tires to get!

These tires performed well when new. But they became louder as they wore. They are prone to cracking, so that treadwear isn't impressive. Besides they are difficult to balance. Would buy the other tires next time.
