Hey all,

It's probably a shot in the dark, but I was just curious if any evo owners on this site have used the Hankook F200 slicks (preferably for autocross). I've found a good deal on a set of these tires 235/620/17 and was just looking for reviews/info/specs on these tires.

If you have used them, which compound did you use, how did they compare to other tires you've used in the past and how long did they last you.

I just autox at a local level here, and I'm always looking for a great deal on rcomps/slicks. I bought a set of Hankook Z214's (c51) last year that worked very well. They maybe have a few events left on them, so I'm in the market to ****** something up while I have the time.

Any info/reviews would be appreciated!

 

235/620/17? thats one giant aspect ratio

 

Those are the numbers Hankook uses for these. Supposedly it's similar to a 235/40/17 from what I've gathered. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

 

The 620 is not aspect, but outer diameter, in mm. It's about 24.5", similiar to a 235/40/17.

ooh thats weird.... anyhow thought u did a typo and thought u meant 60 aspect ratio hehe... yeah too meaty my bad i never owned or considered hankook

 

Why run a 235 if you want mega grip?

 

I don't disagree, but again I'm not looking to spend $1000 plus on some 245/40/17 A6's.

This is the only size they come in that will fit the stock wheel, and again I'm only bringing these tires up since I found a great deal on them. There are better options out there, but I don't want to blow big bucks.

FYI, here's some specs between the Z214 (245/40/17) and the F200 (235/620/17): The F200's are wider, even though they're designated as a 235 width.


Z214 245/40/17
Section width: 9.6"
Tread width: 9.1"

F200 235/620R17
Section width: 9.7"
Tread width: 9.2"

 

Did you buy those f200's. Did you like them?

 

No sir, he sold out right before I was going to pick a set up...
