[Cypry 1]

Has anybody had Hankook all season tyres fitted as they seem to have good reviews on the you tube tyre review channel.

Is this the review to which you refer?

Without comprehensive research I opted for Avon AS7s as I was offered a discount I couldn't refuse. Time will tell I guess.

The Autoexpress review that Rowley has suggested is equally impressed by these Hankook tyres

I haven’t ever used Hankook - and I’m not even sure that they make sizes suitable for my Lexus - but they seem to have improved their performance year on year.

Any AllSeason tyre that can match the Michelin CC2 is a serious contender. The tyre quality I personally prioritise is the wet weather performance.  You may have your own priorities.

And on a purely subjective note - it has quite an attractive tread pattern!

Short of an actual user coming here with a detailed review, it seems a reasonable choice.

BTW:  As I’m sure you’re aware, that tread pattern means the tyres must be fitted so that they rotate in the correct direction.

Just in case you got interested Len, Hankook do indeed make both All Season & Summer tyres for your fronts (17" & 18") but I can only find Summer tyres for your rears (again both 17" & 18").

And yes, the All Season tyres are indeed "directional".

Thanks for looking in to that, Rowley.
I suspected that might be the case.  It was the same with the Michelin CCs - which is why I ended up with an excellent set of Goodyear Asymmetrics.

Had the car had 17” wheels, I would have been able to get a set of Michelins - and probably a more comfortable ride too!

Still, mustn’t grumble. 😊

I expect you still have the Avon as a spare?  In the interests of research, let us know if you ever have to use it.

Indeed I have ... and I shall ... although I hope that I don't ... if you get my drift 😄 .
