Sime, Hankook, same shyte. That's like saying, my Proton is better than your Daewoo. That still doesn't change the fact that both cars are crap! hehehe

If the price suits you, go for your life.

actually, sime and hankook are made by the same mob AFAIK, so its more like saying my proton is better than your (same vintage) mits lancer.

Sorry mate, but that is incorrect.
Simes are made in Malaysia, and the company is a part of the Sime Darby Group. Hankooks are Korean, and Hankook is a public company listed on the Korea Stock Exchange. Therefore, not made in the same factory, and the two businesses don't even have a common parent company. That's why I used the Malaysia/Korea analogy.

slime is a better name for them, they slide like marbles on the wet, they have a good wear factor, Get this Sime tyres used on a cooper s at targa started with 7 mm of tread, and after a week of street thrashing we have 7 mm left. had to fight to keep car on the road.
u get what u pay for, if the tyre is going on a work horse thats driven 1 million miles a week , yer go for it , but on a family or performance car NO NO. u will die or kill some other poor bugger.
