My mothers next door neighbour who traded in his 92 plate 16V corrado under the scrapage scheme bought a Hyundai i30, this car has "Hankook Optimo" tyres from the factory...

I used to have them on my Corrado and to be honest I would rather have drivemn on the rims, they were absolutely shocking. I changed them for a set of falkens and the improvement was like night and day! Personally I would never even think about them again - however I' have heard people say good things about them! :mad:

My nephew got a new Fiesta on a 09 plate and that came with 'Hankook Optimo' tyres.
