Why I get an impression that Auto Bild is getting "special" tires from Hankook.
All the models in all sizes AutoBild tests, and Hankooks are so impressive and in top possitions.
But, if you see other magazines or ADAC or other associations, especially those that are buying tires from retail where all of us are buying, and Hankooks somehow are middle class with average performance.
Auto Bild are the biggest tire testers in Europe every year. I'm not exactly sure how they obtain the tires, but I am sure they will have safeguards in place against "special" tires being tested.
My point is not if Auto Bild has ways to check the tires, but it looks to me as if Hankook is making paid commercial through Auto Bild.
Paying media to "advertise" you as among the best is nothing new and is widely used. In Auto Bild-Hankook situation, what caught my eye is that in all the latest tests from Auto Bild, Hankook is far better than in the tests from other magazines or organizations.
Is this "updated" P zero; is there a way to differentiate prior and new version when buying this model?
Yes, this would be the PZ4 version of the P Zero.
We need to work out a way of making that clearer on this website!
Going to change my nokian zline and I don't know what to buy next...
Was wondering how the hankook v12 evo2 were, but there aren't many reviews (I loved the old v12 evo)
Can't understand how they compare with s1 evo2
Falken's azenis 510 seems a good bang for the bucks, but not avaylable in my size (205/50r17)
According to this test, you wouldn't have any problems with either! If you were pleased with the older Hankook pattern, it would make sense, especially as the test winning Conti won't be available in your size either.
