SEAT Cupra Formentor 2022 · 255/35 R20 · 16 093 km
★★★★☆

Great grip and feeling in the dry, decent grip in the wet, absolutely no grip when it's cold but that's expected.
The wear is not great, they don't last much but until they do, they are fun.

Honda Civic Type R · 245/35 R19
★★★★☆

On my 2017 civic type r these were very good , good handling and felt very fast rolling and quick sporty steering. Perfect sporty tyre on warm roads and preferred them to Michelin ps4s , but tread is going down quite quick now after 3 months of driving 5x a week. Want to try new Bridgestone Potenza Sport to compare as similar price but I think these hankooks will be better than them.

Vauxhall Corsa vxr · 225/35 R18 · 19 312 km
★★★★☆

Good all round sports tyre, feels good under braking and cornering. In the wet it's good but noticeably less grip than in the dry, which is good as I have found with some other tyres in the wet they feel great and then fall off. This tyre feels less competent in the wet but it let's you know that through the car and steering wheel so you know your limits. In comparison to the bridgestone s001 and toyo proxes that I've had on this vehicle I would say its the best for dry grip and all weather feel and in my opinion the wear is similar to the other two options aswel.
