Guest pelmetman Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Now on my second set of Hankooks, only changed them because of age.......10 years :D.......no cracking ;-)...........and I suspect they ended up on another van :-S....... Although I did notice the ride was softer, as the rubber had obviously got a bit stiff with age ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 When I ran VEE dubs I used to use Barum tyres and then a friend put me on to Hankook,the best thing ever and a good value tyre. Now I have a much bigger vehicles I fit Michelin Camping or Viking M&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMac46 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 See my previous post about 2 months ago. Great tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Good tyres and not expensive. I think they are made by goodyear or one of the other well known brands as a budget tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger s Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Just replaced my RA08 tyres (on a Transit) due to age and not wear with RA18 s which I understand replaced the 8 s and have a higher load rating. Found the Hankooks to be good road holders and reasonably quiet running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It would appear from Hankook's website that RA08 and RA18 ranges are both still available. For the same dimensions and 'ply-rating' an RA08 tyre will have the same load carrying capability as a Vantra LT RA18. However, the RA18 is M+S (Mud + Snow) marked, while the RA08 is (apparently) not. In principle, then, an RA18 should be the better choice for a motorhome. Perhaps more telling is the excellent performance of the RA18 (in 215/70 R15C size) during a Promobil magazine test earlier this year. http://www.promobil.de/test/vergleichstest-sommerreifen-gummistiefelbande-6463569.html (As far as I'm aware there is no link between Hankook and Goodyear, and Hankook is definitely not a 'budget' brand-name of any other tyre manufacturer.)
