From my experience the Hankook tires, they are crap. Ford uses Hankook's on most of their vehicles and whenever I replace the Hankook's , they come off crappy or come of where 2 pieces if the tire have actually separated. They just feel like a cheaply made tire whenever I and mounting or un-mounting them off a set of rims.

I go the 452's and about that warranty, Discount scratched my new wheels so i think im gonna get them to throw in the tire protection instead of getting them fixed. Its a small spot and i dont want to have them re coated for a silly black mark
