They are inexpensive, that's a +1 for them. I have never had them so I won't give any cons. What are you looking for....daily commute, occasional track, wet handling?

Hankook R-comp race tires are good. Hankook street tires are not. Don't cheap out on tires.

I had the Ventus K-104 and had two sidewall tears on the rears. I wouldn't buy them again.

Hankook tires aren't up to the normal industry standard. Their manufacturing and Quality Assurance is substandard. I work as a Mechanic for a store in the Tire/Service field and we have nearly 2000 Tires in stock...Not a single one is Hankook. ALL of your vehicles handling/performance is anchored by your tires. Without tires your car is completely useless, without GOOD tires your car will suffer consequences such as loss of handling, increased road noise, etc.

I used to have the hankook k104's i believe, came with a wheel/tire bundle. I'd say they are mediocre, and that's mainly because of the price. They were loud on the highway, even with a 40 series. They wore fairly quickly as well.
Prolly not going to try them again.
