I am on Hankook blackbird (15") for 17" its another name but same pattern grip.

Dunno why I kinda like hankook, but might want to change the next brand and try.

Drive safe with any working condition tyre. Touch wood if anything happen, dont blame the tyre or the person who "tested" it coz it is the driver trying to outperform what he/she can handle with the help of "performance" tyre. Seen some driverd blame the tyre after accident like a kid blame and hit the table/chair when they knock on them  :ohmy:
