Hankook Optimo tires: Are they any good?
Hankook Optimo tires: Are they any good? - 1
Added (1). I got new tires at the Honda dealership today. Yesterday they quoted me a price of $415, so I got them today. I thought they were replacing the Dunlops with Dunlops, then I got home and noticed they are Hankook. The size is 175/65 R15. Should I gp back and ask them what is going on?
Added (2). H426
Hankook is a good brand. But all tire makers offer different grades of tires.
Hankook Tire makes several models of the Optimo. Unfortunately, the Optimo H426 is not one of their better offerings. The Optimo H426 is rated poorly in very critical categories such as wet traction, hydroplaning resistance, tread wear, and ride comfort. They rank 33 out of 35 within the Grand Touring All-Season tire category.

If you are looking for a quality tire, which is still economical, in your needed size of 175/65R15 the General AltiMAX RT43 would be the best quality choice. Cost of the AltiMax is nearly identical to that of the H426.

- When should I do an oil change, rotate tires, and balance tires? I purchased a brand new 2013 Honda Civic LX Sedan in just this past february. I'm currently at 7,300 miles. I scheduled an oil change, tire rotation, and tire balance for this upcoming Saturday. Is that too much for a brand new car? I wasn't really sure.

- Do people realize how much pain they inflict when they scratch the hell out of a car in a parking lot? I worked my *** off to pay for my car. Today, coming out of work. I noticed someone dinged and made a huge scratch to the metal almost on my Honda Civic Si. What's worse is my car is black, so it's very noticeable. That person doesn't know how hard I worked to buy my car. I love it to death. And they had the audacity to not even leave a note! I hate Houston and the animals that live here.
- Can I put sized 195/65R15 tires on the front of my 2000 honda accord lx coupe V6 if the back tires are 205? I need new tires and I already have a 195 and it would save me so much more money if I could just go buy another one, but I don't want to do it if it's going to be detrimental to my car overall. The back tires are still the stock size, I'd only be changing the front tires.
