Tyre reviews Hankook K406 Optimo. Page 2 409

I bought Lachetti in March 2008, originally in 195/55R15. In December 2012, I switched to winter tyres (2-season) and left them at the tyre service centre. They were worn down to the mark after 5 years of driving. Manufactured in China, my impression of the tyres is good. However, I started getting thorns more often when the tread was worn down to 3/4, which is only common sense. No bul

In general, I'll start with the fact that the website is rubbish! Why is the Chevrolet Lacetti not available? I chose the Korean clone of Nubira. This tyre was fitted as standard equipment. Handling on dry asphalt/gravel is good, but if you take a wet asphalt, it's... also great. This spring I was driving from Smolensk in the rain and got stuck in a rut with water, started to swing violently during lane changes very much, although the tread

Great summer tire. Have now run three Piter summer seasons. Excellent handling. Braking in any weather at high speeds. A bit noisy, but it doesn't bother me. Now I'm looking for the same, but it seems like it's no longer in production.

They come as standard in the cabin.

At 110 km/h entering a turn, there is a feeling that you may not be able to hold the machine, I reduced to 85-90 (turn ~ 75-80 degrees). Maybe it’s because the Ford Fusion (2011) has a higher center of gravity. On simpler turns, it easily enters without worries.

Recently on the highway, average speed 100-110 km/h, in the rain and air temperature

Fitted as standard on the Lachetti. In essence, a middle-range tyre. Wear-resistant, fairly predictable in handling. Brake distance a tad long by subjective feelings, but tolerable. Noisy on rough asphalt. Sensitive to road camber, need to adjust trajectory if road is not perfectly straight. Doesn't like water at speed - after 90km/h car starts to float if there's water in a layer of 3cm or more on the road. Very good option for

Size 185/55R15.
The tires, in general, are not bad but there are several remarks that I cannot agree with.
Braking distance is not an icebreaker compared to the Conti EcoContact tires that I had before.
Aquaplaning resistance is low, unfortunately.
It drives well on a smooth asphalt, but as soon as a small rut appears, it becomes really scary, especially if you are driving at night at a speed of

Very good tires, quiet, comfortable, excellent braking, no surprises in handling, always adequate response when controlling the car. Equal good grip in heat and cold. At speeds over 100 on a curve, holding the wheel, it's probably the only minor drawback.

Tire too stiff, Hard rubber, medium adhesion on dry, very medium on wet road. Noisy tire. But good wear resistance.

Very good in tires. Excellent price/performance ... Very good handling and comfort. I can't judge it on snow because I always change to specific winter tires in winter. Wear seems to be in order after 11'000 driven.

- Noisy and harsh
+ However, it brakes well
+ Over the three years, it has repeatedly bent rims (before deflation) when hitting potholes - but there is not a single bulge or crack.
+ And it can still be balanced with weights of no more than 15g.
= Excellent tire ***for the price***, despite its Korean-Chinese origin.
