Hankook K104 Vs Falken ST115

[Ghosn]

Im in need of new tyres in 245/35/19 and atm Im looking at these two makes of tyres. Im after feedback on people who have had experiences with BOTH these tyres. Ive currently got falkens on mine and have heard good feedback on both. I can get them for the same price fitted so now I need to choose between the two.

Basically after comparisons on noise, wet and dry weather performance, cornering, braking and wear.

Help appreciated.

Hi Ghosn, i seen a ss cop car with ventus k104's on it the other day and have heard a lot of good reports about them.

i had four goes at launching and got a best of 1.9 60ft... Not quite chilly's 1.74 ;)

Good points:
Good traction for high speed cornering
Good traction in the wet, managed to blow of a WRX 4 times in the wet (no puddles of water, just wet road), can still pull 5.5 0-100 on wet road with warm tyres 5.1 0-100 in the dry, now 5.0 0-100 with textralia
Matched up with $600(odd) a corner perilli's in a Motor mag comparison :D
Cheap (ish)
Last alright (i think), i get 15K with skid pan days, and car is driven like it should be ;)

Bad Points:
Really dont repond well to wrong pressures, if you dont get it right, they really are no good
Really not that great when cold, takes bit to get em warm
Only last a single day of hard circuit racing :lol:

I run the K104 245/35/19 on the ute, they handle really well and are wearin well to. We sell heaps of them they dont take much weight and easy to balance and very queit on the road.

I've driven on the falkens ZE326 cant speak for the 115's but they arent as good as the hankook in the wet.

Im in sales at Bob jane and i recently went to a conference for hankook tyres through LD tyres and the k104 is a very sophisticated tyre with a high silica compund compared to some manufactures that claim silica compund but only have small amounts in their tyres.

Im happy with the k104's.
