Hi guys, I am currently on Hankook V8RS(actually V2 Blackbird cos mine is 15") and very happy with the grip both in the wet and dry. They are almost due for replacement and I'll be happy to get a 2nd set of V8RS. Unfortunately it is not available anymore and Robert quoted me K415 as the replacement. The quote was very attractive with the special discount at the moment. For those who were previously on V8RS and now using K415, appreciate your comments on the latter. Some concerns here: V8RS is VR rated whilst K415 is HR rated. I usually don't speed on the straights but i like to take bends and corners faster than other drivers :) V8RS has rim protector but K415 dont. Not a major concern but a good to have. I was previously on GR80 but it was no where near V8 in terms of grip...especially in the wet. Considering to go back to this tyre but too bad it is also EOL like V8. Any other rubbers to recommend?

Hi, I'm using the Hankook V8RS tyre for less than 1 year=less than 20,000km. I noticed that there is this very thin groove at both side of the tyre. The picture below did not say what those grooves are for. Those very thin shallow grooves on my rubbers are now completely flat. But all the major thread pattern featured in the picture below are still ok. The grip at high speed dry and cornering did not really suffer. I realised that many tyre design also has these kind of thin grooves at the side. naturally, these thread will wear out faster than the deeper ones, which means though the tyre is still with 80% left the thin groove already disappear. Is it normal and still safe to drive?

My uncle is in urgent need to change tyres and would like to try the V8. Anyone can recommend a good dealer for Hankook in the west?

Which of the above to choose, slight price diff of only $10. so price is not a factor in choosing between the two. No tracking, normal driving with ocassional spirited driving
