I've got Hankook H406's on my Integra right now. I suppose they're decent
enough. Put about 20K miles on them so far.

They are not nearly as direct and rigid as the Yokohama ES100's I had on
there previously. The Hankooks seem to have a softer, squirmier sidewall.

I find the quality of the mounting and balancing job is far more important
than the tire itself.

I had a set of 4 Hankook Tires put on my 2005 accord ex sedan a month ago. I
believe they are 205/60HR 14's. So far so good. I did have to get one of the
valve stems replaced because it was leaking after going to the carwash, but
the tire place that I had it done did it for free as they gave me a lifetime
warrenty on anything that happens to the tires. I think the car washer was
too rough with the tire brush when he was cleaning my wheels before I
entered the carwash and thats what caused it to leak. I priced them at the
store and it would have been around 600 dollars installed with balancing,
but I got a special deal online for $415.00 for all 4 tires, installed with
balancing, tax, tire disposal, and front and rear alignment too.

Anybody know what these tires are like? I heard they were good but just
thought I'd ask y'all to see if anyone has any thoughts. I know I wont make
it through a RI winter with my old tires that were 80% worn already and I
still have 9 months to go. Why the old stock tires got to 80% worn after
32,000 miles is beyond me, but they did even though the treadware was 340,
go figure!
