Consumer Description

ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE VEHICLE (KUMHO) WORE OUT AFTER 30K MILES AND BECAME VERY NOISY AFTER ABOUT 20K MILES. REPLACED THE TIRES WITH A SET OF HANKOOK OPTIMA H727. NOW HAVE 27K MILES ON THESE TIRES AND THEY ARE JUST AS NOISY AS THE ORIGINAL STOCK TIRES, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE WEARING A LOT BETTER THAN THE KUMHOS. I BELIEVE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF AS THERE SHOULD NOT BE THE TIRE NOISE ENTERING THE CABIN LIKE IT DOES. I AM RUNNING A SET OF HANKOOK OPTIMA H725 ON A 2008 TOYOTA RAV4 WITH 124K MILES AND 55K MILES ON THOSE TIRES. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO NOISE COMING FROM THOSE TIRES INTO THE CABIN AND I HESITATE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER SET OF TIRES FOR MY SONATA UNTIL A DETERMINATION IS MADE REGARDING THE EXCESSIVE NOISE.
