Hankook V8 after 60,000km
« on: August 19, 2008, 04:24:12 PM »
Yesterday, one gentleman driving a Honda Stream came and changed to S1 Evo. I asked him why change when the V8 had alot of thread left? To my surprise, he said he had used for 60,000km already, and even went to Pasir Gudang with his friends just to try-try tracking.

Attached are the pictures of the Hankook 18" V8

Jus sharing the pictures i took. Personally rather impressed about the thread left after 60,000km. Don't know how he drives, maintained the tyre so well with so much thread left? Cant be he only drives on smooth concrete flooring ba?
