What about Hankook's

They are a good street tire. Grip level is good. Tread life is good. Wet traction is good. The sidewalls are soft, though, so you will lose some steering feel.

They are a good street tire.

Grip level is good. Tread life is good. Wet traction is good.

The sidewalls are soft, though, so you will lose some steering feel. The tire will roll over a bit on the sidewall before it takes a set when you enter a corner. That leads to a bit of a squishy feel.

I read an owner of these tires say that the sidewall softness issue is solved by inflating the tires @ 40 psi...

Now, how safe is that for daily driving, I dunno... I also have Hankook's all around but mine are inflated @ 35 psi..

All in all, I like them..
