I changed them out for a set of Bridgestone D697s prior to a long trip north and for greater puncture protection on a forthcoming visit to the Flinders among other stops. Subjectively, the D697s are about as noisy as the Hankooks were at end of life, while the grip level is back to acceptable on wet tarmac, although less fun. |
how often did you rotate yours viking. I drive mine pretty hard around corners in the city and do like to give it a little bit of boot :P
