Not that i know of.

How many miles on the car?

Surprised at midrange? Meh, i bought a set of premium vector 4 seasons for mine in about November time.

One of the standard fitment tyres are the bridgestone er300 turanza's which i found soo noisey they ruined the car.

My 2014 1.2HTP is fitted with them.

Enjoy the car.

This would be a good time to swap wheels / tyres front to rear, rear to front and get good wear and value out of the tyres.

Best check & possibly reset the pressures as well because that is a bit high a wear rate for only 6,000 miles.

Hankook are an approved VAG group tyre, also saw Kumho tyres on some new VW's at a local VW/Skoda dealers yesterday.

Saw a new golf mk7 with hankook tyres fitted too, nothing wrong with the brand.

My 2013 1.2 TSI SE Estate has 5 Hankooks from new.

The spare in my Monte is a Hankook. Hankooks are good. Work well.

I've recently put Hankook v12's on my vrs. Decent price and decent tyre imo. I've been told that all new BMW's are now fitted with them from factory. Don't know how true this is!

I know it's chalk and cheese,was surprised to discover Hankook tyres fitted to my new camper,to be honest was a bit disappointed .

I then read a test in a Motorhome magazine and they rated top!!Better than Michelin,Conti and several other makes.

Wouldn't worry mate,we don't know where anything comes from these days!!

Great tyres so far and at a great price.

I have 3 (was 4 before a puncture) Hankook V12 Evo's tyres on my vRS which I absolutely love and have had them on for a good 30,000 miles with plenty of tread depth left. The one that got a puncture was replaced by an Evo 2 as the ones I've got are an old model and aren't made anymore. The old ones actually had a better fuel economy and wet grip rating than the new ones if I remember rightly. C for fuel economy, C for wet grip and 68 or 69dB. Much better than the Pirelli P Zero Nero that came with the car in about every way possible. The Pirelli's would spin very easily, were noticeably louder and the cars fuel economy noticeabley went up once the hankooks were fitted too.

Nowt wrong with Hankook Ventus, son bought a set of them for his Bocanegra at £62 a corner from tyreleader mainly due to tyre ratings for wet weather handling (given we do tend to get a lot of rain lol) being A rated for braking, but also on the recommendation of our mechanic at work who reckoned Michelin were simply not worth the difference in price. We run 10 Merc Sprinter minibuses that previously ran on Michelin, Continental and Bridgestone, he reckons in terms of performance and wear/ tear that the Hankook is as good as any of them. 

 

So far the ones on my son's car seem to be doing the job just fine, he likes them having previously had Bridgestone on.
