ya there a B-minus tire.

Not bad, but not to good either.

check the tire rating on the side wall, make sure they're up to snuff...

traction,wear,temp & speed rating wise.

tire rack can explain all the details of what each mean.

They are decent tires. Hankook is a brand that is coming up slowly. They are very cheap right now because they are trying to make a name for themselves. Just think of Kumho's. Yeah check the treadwear, temp, and speed ratings.

Did you get the K104, great tires... or the K106 (new Tire) regardless they are very affordable tires with good tread life... I know all the DPE owners run them...
