Default Hankook Tires?

I'm in the market for new tires and have been reading up on this forum. My choices were down to BF Goodrich (TA/KO) or Nitto (Terra Grapplers) but then I saw Hankook M/T's last night at an independent tire dealer.

Has anyone tried these? I'm curious about road noise and wear. They didn't seem to have any siping at all either.

I'm surprised there aren't more options for H2 tires running stock wheels and height. The Hankooks are cheap which really doesn't matter, I'd rather not save a buck on something so important, still if the Hankooks are excellent than I'd like to give them a try.

Hankooks are horrible ! I sell rims and tires and the warehouses that carry Hankook do not want to sell them to any dealers. They have too many returns and unhappy customers.

Any pics on the Hankooks there Lucky1? I'll be ready for some new tires soon. Looking for a possible switch from the BFG M/Ts.

That's the one with the diamonds on the sidewall. Looking at the company profile I suspect manufacturing is done in Korea since there is no mention of stateside manufacturing facilities but "R&D" in Korea.

The rubber compound on the tires on display looked like dark graphite instead of pure black and the tread blocks were drilled for studs (per the salesman).

I've seen some very low prices- like $150 to $170 each for 315/70/R17 online for these.

i love the hankooks
i run the m/t on my Z71 and have never had a problem w/ them
i also run their 19.5 on our wreckers and have never had a problem with any of the 3 wreckers that have them..
they do require more air psi than most and the fact that most people dont read the sidewall of the tire and run less air in them gives them the squishy feelin might be the reason why they are having the returns and unhappy customers

i have ran them for over 3 years now on my personal trucks and cars and
on our wreckers and i would say they are good tires
