Used, and that was my first reaction. However, after a bit of reading around online, they were fitted as standard to their new cars. They seem decent enough though - Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 - they're certainly not the best out there but not the worst either.

they're high quality tyres.. nothing wrong with hankook other than the fact that they're jap manufacturer

This is my thinking too, at first I had no idea who they were and assumed hankook were a ditchfinder brand, appears not!

That your dad in the camp chair rocking the AM kit? 
*wince*
I remember when I kerbed my wheels a couple of months after getting my car. Kissed a kerb that was hidden in the mud at the edge of a country lane, ever so slightly, but the car was immaculate at the time. I was depressed about it for a couple of weeks

Yup did that with my style 224 soon after I got them.. back end slipped on something and tickled a kerb..*wince*

Did it with the S3 after 6 months, looked around at refurbishment results and decided the only course of action was replacement rather than refurbishment, so that's what I did, NOT CHEAP!
Yep, tis Ned.That your dad in the camp chair rocking the AM kit?

Wicked cars, a ST and S1 elise make a very cool 2 car garageDaily driver and toy. Fiesta Zetec-S and S1 Elise
Wifes daily. Fiesta ST-3
And not technically mine, but my dad no longer drives so I get to play chauffeur in them.
M135i
V12 Vantage S Performance Pack
Of course I don't know about your family but a 135i anda V12V seems a bit overkill if your father doesn't even drive them anymore! On the flip side, I'm not jelly, not at all...
e: Thinking about it, if I were your Dad I'd be happy to just be a passenger and that does seem to be the way you've worded it. So in that case, that's very cool

probably cant drive due to some health issues, doesn't kill the love for cars so I can see why you'd continue owning two nice cars

Yep, unfortunately pain in his hip and right leg makes driving very difficult and painful for him now. Still get out to AMOC and other events when we can.
Actually prefer the older Fiesta Zetec-S to the newer ST. I like my cars raw and my work often involves travelling round narrow winding lanes so a cheap, expendable, and relatively narrow hatchback is perfect.

If you're in the area you should bring your old man and the AM to the South Eastern meet, it'd be great to see such a car and I'm sure your dad is a great laugh to talk to about cars.
Haha cheers. Can't wait to put some more miles on it.
