    Just picked up four of these, 245/45/17. Got them for a good price but didn't check any reviews.

    Any one used them before?

    Only drove on them a few times and it was on a much smaller size but they were well off in the wet.

    IMO Hankook I thought were terrible tyres, horrible handling in corner's and brutal in the wet.

    I think that the Falken's are good (esp in wet).I went to Dunlop's this time as there was only €10 per corner difference if you include the cost of getting them from the UK. Maybe Hankook have improved in the past 18 months ....

    Whats a good price??

    I'm driving on Hankook commercial tyres for the las two years and find them very good all round ...so it depends on the type as well.

    I have to concur with Peasant,Hankook Dynapro HP in commercial sizes 265/70/16 are very hardwearing and great grip.
    In fact I would say that they beat Dunlops and Bridgestones in my estimation for my Jeep.
    But as always car tyres could be completely different.
