Why I made a film for Hankook Tyres !

[@johns14a]

I think you are right to be protective of your subscribers and wary of the promotional content you put on your channel as many other car channels are not very subtle about the way they do things and can put people's backs up. That said, I thought this video was very good. The wife was watching the Hankook part of the video as well and said that she finally properly understood what the markings were all about. You do have a talent for explaining things and every right to maximise your revenue from this channel. This video shows you're thinking along the right lines and I wish you all the very best for future collaborations.

[@PetrolPed]

John thanks for this. Made my day 👍

[@rogerpope6388]

Interesting video Peter. I dont see any problem with it, and the end of the day its your channel and you put in the hard work to make it a success. We all think we are experts but a little reminder now and then doesnt hurt, who knows we may even laern something new, I know I have just from this video alone. I also liked the other video regarding slip diffs. Its good that there is variety. All too often when following other You Tube channels is always very much the same thing over and over, buy a car, modify it, wrap it, flip it start again. Dont get me wrong I do like some of these as well, but after a while you wish there was something more. Keep up the fantatstic work mate.

Fair play to you, Peter! There are too many KZbin channels who shamelessly plug products in their videos which have no relevancy to the channel, so it's refreshing to see someone who only advertises products which are relevant to the channel and are genuinely interesting and informative. This is definitely the right direction to go in!

[@cinematographytrev]

My thoughts are that you are very right to protect us as your subscribers, you’ve worked extremely hard bringing us your excellent content and it’s your channel not a channel that flaunts videos to advertise anything within the motoring world. Your content is always very concise and informative so the video you did for Hankook tyres sits completely well within your channel. Well done and it was a very informative watch, I was only teaching my young boys (your super peddler’s) about their bike tyres, so they enjoyed the watch about car tyres and this also taught them the importance of road safety. One thing I would find good to watch is if you were given the opportunity to perhaps provide us with an insight into engine oils; you look out their and with so many different types and specifications of engine oil it’s perhaps for some a bit of a mind field. Also try and bring footage which I know would interest myself is watching an engine work where you can the oil working. I think this would be something fascinating to watch as you see your engine but never actually what the oil is doing. Just an idea and a thought that’s all. Keep up the excellent content and a channel that’s always a first watch when we log into You Tube. Oh and our second choice is Lego, if you get any car kits, throw these our way please lol .

[@gavinivers8941]

Great video. I use to work in the tyre industry here in New Zealand. The industry use to do checks from time to time on tyres, wear and age. They found that 40% of all cars on the road had a tyre issue, weather alignment or wear or under inflation. Scary!

[@markwright3161]

If you change tyres in pairs, keep the same brand and tier of tyre across all axles. If you're going to change brand or go for a cheaper tyre in a lineup, change all tyres at once. I'd say premium All-season tyres are good enough for the average conditions for most of the UK for those who may not have the resources for 2 sets of tyres (summer and winter) for their car. A lot of people in the UK could probably manage through winter with summer tyres, they just need to take it a lot easier when it's below 7 degrees Celsius and avoid driving when it's 'significantly' (for the UK) below freezing and/or when snow is laying, You might as well be driving on plastic tubes at that point. The channel 'Tyre Reviews' has a video where they use a M2 mixing pairs of premium and budget pairs of tyres across axles. Premium front, budget rear resulted in the car swapping ends in a fraction of a second on damp tarmac, even with all your assists active without trying to accelerate through the corner.

Hope my comment did not come across negative, I've been involved in racing and road cars for many years and all you have said is absolutely correct, i, my team have raced with hankook (and no I'm not getting paid) so have no concern other than to endorse all your comments, being passionate about my trade makes me worry slightly when people are being paid to advertise, however life is life and fair play keep up the great work.

Good work Peter!! A well balanced video and appreciated by we viewers. I have never had Hankook tyres but see them standard on new BMW cars. Re the video, one aspect you didn’t cover was the age of tyres and reading the date code because these days they don’t last so long if you buy cheap budget products but all tyres should go at six years even if only part worn.

Quite timely as i just had a puncture repaired (yeah it does happen) and had my tyres rotated for the third time on this set.

Hey there Pete, I think automotive related relationships and content is a good direction for you and us.

One thing that will go a long way to getting the most out of our investment. You also could have mentioned date codes as you were discussing the size specs. I have seen shops flogging some very old rubber on unsuspecting buyers. Well done overall and I also agree the opportunity to improve audio is there. Cheers.

Very informative video, Pete. One question, why is tyre rotation not really a thing in the UK? Whenever my cars in America go in for an oil change/service (every 8000-9000 miles) the delaership rotates the tyres. But tyre rotation has never been offered to me in the UK. Why is that? I recently bought a Mini JCW to use when I'm in the UK (about 4 or 5 months per year) and fully intend to get the tyres rotated annually so they wear evenly and change them all at the same time when they wear out.

Interesting that you’ve teamed up with hankook. I was initially devastated that 2 previous (61 & 64 plate Astras) cars came from factory fitted with this brand.

I’m currently running Bridgestones on my 3rd consecutive Astra and have had 2 punctures in around 9,000 miles! I’m also less confident with these in the wet. Great work as always, keep it up 👍🏻

Great video but I would say it's best to replace tyres when tread less than 3mm as wet braking distances become significantly longer after that. I' m very happy you are developing and expanding content in this way for the channel. Much prefer your presentation than others. :)

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for this Andrew. Interesting point about the 3mm. Went to Michelin last year and their view was their tyres would operate well to 1.6mm even in wet braking and that huge amounts of natural resources were wasted by not using that last 1.4mm.

Great video, well presented. There are a lot of car channels out there that talk a lot obout the 'what' - but very very few talk about the how and the why. For example you mentioned 93Y - What: is 93 - load rating How: does Hankook alter the design of the tyre to achieve higher load ratings Why: is this (becomming more) important: growth in (heavy) SUV's, growth in EV's that are inherently heavier due to the batteries etc You could put your racing knowledge to use by moving beyond the 'it's a geat handling car' and get the car up on a ramp, and show how it's a great handling car.

It currently (post Y2K) shows 4 digits, the first two are the week up to 52 and the second are the year. So 0118 means the tire was made in the first week of 2018 . I would hope that on-one is running tires older than Y2K! I had an eight year old tire on my latest motor and changed it right away. The other on that axle was nearly new. And yes, I got the same brand and tread pattern as the other one. For more info on this subject, www.atseuromaster.co.uk/consumer/category-header/tyre-advice/tyre-safety

I didn’t know about this. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@robertsanders9068]

No mention of manufacturer specific tyres (eg the star on BMW & MINI tyres) - or whether it is advisable to change front wheels to rear half way through tyre life to even out the wear. otherwise entertaining as always!

[@PetrolPed]

I only had 5 mins and agreed the areas to cover. Clearly we had to leave some stuff out 😥

[@robertsanders9068]

@@PetrolPed - As Hankook are the only 'Budget' MINI approved tyres, I was waiting for a comment about a star on the sidewall - really like your MINI stuff esp LOHEN!

Good evening pal. I dare bet ya sat having a holiday beer, have one for us. 👍👍👍

[@PetrolPed]

I am indeed...at the same time as editing Friday’s vid 😜

Great video as always. Thanks for considering the subscribers :)

Good video and no probs with you advertising when youre up front about it, so long as youre not bangin on about how great something is cos youre gettin paid for it. Gotta argue about the wheel tracking tho. I used to work at ATS and we were ordered to tell every single customet their tracking was out (which of course it is on every car slightly) and needed doing. I'd estimate that 1in500 was actually out bad enough that it would make any difference. Its a scam.

[@PetrolPed]

Ouch...why I never go to ATS or Kwikfit 😜😂

@@PetrolPed This is what happens when people have targets to hit. Also, i think you might have messed up your kwik-fit endorsement 🤣🤔

Hiya fella!! How comfy is the Audi TT RS???

[@PetrolPed]

Extremely. Done some big miles so far. This is the TTS but from a comfort point of view is exactly the same 👍

I guess it makes content, but when you receive a press car you are not going to criticise it, so it not really an impartial review.

[@PetrolPed]

I disagree. Look back on my reviews of press cars and I am more than happy to talk about the negative stuff. I recently criticised the Porsche 992 C2S for being too expensive. That was my first car from Porsche UK but that didn’t stop me. Press teams want your honest opinion and never tell you what you can or can’t say. I always try to be impartial 👍

[@f1fanatic80]

This video told us nothing about hankook man, just a video on how to maintain tyres.... title was misleading.

[@garage2umobilemechanicandt717]

Sorry Pete,I've watched so many of your video's and they have all been great, but when you say you protect your channel and then sound like a salesman which you have done well to always avoid even when using a 'certain' mini preparation company you done it very well. In this video you really do sound like a salesman, whilst credit given have made some very good and valid points, but please don't pretend, yet why you have done what you've done but this last video is so scripted it's painful, shame loved watching previously.

[@PetrolPed]

The difference between this and my Mini modification videos is that Hankook paid me so I am duty and legally bound to tell you. The video was aimed at being an information film or a sales pitch.

Hi Mate

Hi 👋

[@sherabnamdhak6485]

Left face book as it was getting just ridiculous sorry.

[@SNAFUferret]

I fail to see the need to deliver information about tyres while driving on a public road. You are constantly looking away from the road to the camera.

[@1Three8Fiver]

Check out VINwiki for a good idea of how to ensure you have relatable sponsors although possibly ignore the Vincero Watches akin to to Carguy UK's sentiments and adapt as appropriate for yourself, your audience and (y)our location.

[@whollymindless]

Retire? We just hope you might be able to feed yourself once a week on KZbin money.

[@PetrolPed]

LOL...that’s why I still have a ‘proper’ job 😂

[@whollymindless]

At least you might have a decent set of tires with the sponsorship!

[@madhatter7822]

That had nothing to do with hankook apart from the odd logo shot, total click bate 🤨🤨🤨🤨

[@PetrolPed]

Two things. Not sure you actually watched the video and I am definitely sure you haven’t got a clue what ‘click bait’ actually means 🤔

[@patrickfogarty5809]

Oh I cringe!!!!! You did sell out and only.after 2 months or so. I couldn't watch the end because of your commercial. You can't believe what they are asking you to promote via your masked attempt. They are shit tyres no matter what you say TOU KNOW IT!!!!!!!!!!

[@patrickfogarty5809]

You are embarrassing yourself!!!
