Bought my 2008 Ford Focus March 14, 2009 with 15,000 miles as a fleet return. At 36,000 miles the hankook optimo H725 original equipment tires are worn out and need to be replaced. Just average driving on the tires. These tires are supposed to have a 80,000 mile tread life guarantee. Hankook's warranty does not apply to original equipment tires. To say I am disappointed and perturbed by the poor performance of these tires is an understatement. Didn't even make it to the half way point of their tread life.
