Hankook Whitewall Tires

[Joe C.]

I found a Hankook tire size 20575R15 with a whitewall of approx. 5/8 inch wide.
It is their Optimo H724. It is a very reasonably priced tire. I have 1967 Corvette Convertible..
Has anyone used this tire on their Corvette ?
Thanks,
Joe

Joe,

I can't help directly, but I can direct you to this post where several tires were discussed. I don't know why this one didn't pop up down below because it talks about Hankooks . If nothing else you have a few specific guys to ask . Hope it helps .

Jim,
Thanks for the speedy reply and very informative link.
I now have some home work and an internet search in order to compare quality and pricing.
Tire Rack had some very mixed reviews on the Hankook tires but I would like to hear from a Corvette owner who has used them and had them on their car for awhile.

Korean Tire Company that outsources it tire manufacturing to China. I have had them on a company car and I was not impressed at all

Thanks Jimmy,
I will probably go with the Cooper or Uniroyal tires based on all the threads I have read.
Also thanks to all the members who responded to Radial Tires 66' thread
