Thumbs up HANKOOK VENTUS ST RHO6-Product Opinion

First impressions of the Hankooks is good. My truck tracks straight, the ride is quiet and traction (dry) feels good. They are not as aggressive looking as the Proxes were but they're a close second on looks.
I lost that pull to the right that the proxes had given me from day one, no matter which tire i put where. The Kooks track very nice and straight like they should.

Well back from driving all day, city stop and go and highway too at speeds in excess of 80mph (yes! that's right, I was pushing it! ) and these tires feel good. It always amazes me how a new set of tires makes a vehicle feel new again.
