Hankooks

So I'm in the market for some new rubber and was debating getting a set of Hankooks. Anyone heard anything good or bad about these? I seem to recall that they got a pretty good review on Car and Driver.

I don't know about for the Camaro but I had a brand new set on my old Expedition and every single one separated at different times between 5k to 15K miles. I ended up replacing all of them with Kuhmos and they lasted 30k with no issues until I traded the truck in.

I've had those on mine for about a year and 6k miles. No issues to date.

Although i do not have any experience with that particular model of Hankook, i can give you my experience with Hankook in general. When i purchased my Camaro i did not want to use it to commute 140 miles every day to work so i picked up a '10 Chevy Cobalt 2LT which had Hankook Optimo H725A tires from the factory. In the last 1.5 years i have put 47,000 miles on them and they still have quite a bit of tread left......should get well over 50K out of them. Traction and handling wet/dry is excellent. I was so happy with them that i have already ordered and received their replacements (H727's) which have an even higher treadwear rating......
