Hankook K104

Has anyone had experience with these tires on an MCS with 17s (or on any Cooper, for that matter)?

I've read that they are fairly good summer performance tires, but that they have weak sidewalls.

Any advice/stories/reviews appreciated.

remember that your entire investment is riding on those tires...

tires is not something you want to go cheap on. (not directly meant
at the Hankooks but tires in general). get the best ones you can
afford or keep it stock.

I am currently using K104. Although many say it has weak sidewalls, I have driven it hardly and it is very good. The grip is excellent. As of brand, it is not a cheap brand. At least HAMANN doesn't think so because Hankook is their tire technology partner
