Review
These tyres are actually very good! In the first 1000 km felt little grip, but after the first 1000 km, the adherence improved. Both in the wet and the dry, it has deemed and shown very safe, and even resistant to aquaplaning. These are definitely cost-benefit tyres! The good points of these tyres are its resistance to aquaplaning, stable and dry in the rain. Even when driving at high speeds, these Hankooks remained stable. These tyres do not provide the utmost comfort most drivers would want. These tyres are cost benefit, worth it for those who want a tyre perfect quality without worrying about the cost.
What I like
Gives a good performance.
What I do not like
Doesn't give perfect comfort.
Grips well, no dramatic stopping on wet roads. Quite noisy though. | Posted on 06 Aug 2013 |

Review
On dry tarmac, these tires stuck to the road like hot tar; grips on the road very well. Wet tarmac was never an issue, no matter how deep the puddle they just sailed through as if there was no water there. Handling wasn't all that bad, just not as comfortable as luxurious tyres. The grooves drains water efficiently, there was never a skid during wet weather while using these Optimo K415. It does squeel often though, unless your car is silent, this wouldn't be much of a problem.
What I like
The ultimate grip it has on the tarmac. Just amazes me how well it performs, regardless of wet or dry conditions.
What I do not like
For silent cars like mine, it was quite noisy to have squeels. Countered the noise with louder audio volumes.
Average handling but the wear is slow | Posted on 05 Jul 2013 |

These tyres wore out very slowly, which is great. The grip is consistently good on most road conditions and it stays silent. It stops quickly as well. However, the handling is quite lacking as the car is not stable when it comes to sharp turns and cornering is a chore with these tyres. The ride is also a bit harsh.
What I like
Lasts long and has good grip
What I do not like
Harsh ride and lack of handling
I installed this on
Mazda 3
Review
Good set of tyres for those on a tight budget. At prices hovering at the low end of $100 (during promos), it offers decent performance for what you pay for.
Nice workshop (Toh Guan) which offers you a nice mini-showroom to have a drink and view the selection of rims and tyres they offer, while you wait for your tyres to be changed.
What I like
Cheap and good.
Good grip in the early days.
What I do not like
Slightly noisy drive.
Good grip in the early days - which starts to fade after the first 3k.
Loses it composure with hard driving and in corners.
After 30k, the tyres still look "new".
