I am going back a few years, back in the 60-70's. Most cars had what are called Bias tires. Most tires did not have steel belts, they where a blended type rubber with Nylon Belted Cords. These tires would ride very smooth, but would thump for a few miles until they warmed up. Hankook might be using a softer rubber for the grip, but they may thump until they warm up or they may have sold you seconds. I purchased Falken 912's for mine and the perform very well. Nice smooth ride with a very decent handling feel to them. They thump a little when cold but not much...now I live in Florida and do not need a tire for snow...that's why I went with the Falken's.
