Currently on 195/50 Hankook Ventus V2’s and they’ve been great. They look and perform great for a DD.
Owner reviews for tires
These are a great tire and maintain the proper OD on a 15x7 wheel
I have Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus for about a year, and 20k km (the passenger version not LT). I am pleased with them, because they have good handling. The grip on unsealed road seems satisfactory.
If you are looking for a pure track tire, have you looked at something like the Hankook RS4? Those seem to be very popular track tires and last well based on what I have seen.
I can't complain about the Nokian Entyre C/S, quiet, grippy, and fuel efficient.
Check out the Falken ZIEX ZE100 A/S. Mazda made these standard on some Mazda6 trim levels. Traded my 2016 6 in for a 2018 6 and it had these. Felt like the car was riding on a layer of marshmallows. Super quiet.
I like Michelin for nice ride quality tires for an appliance car. Replaced the Pirellis on our Tiguan recently with Michelin Defenders and they are as smooth as anticipated. Big improvement.
IMO Michelin PS4's. They stick great in the heat and hook up in the rain too. Only complaint for me was they wore down pretty fast on track days but the track was superhot and I was pushing the car. I don't know the price range on these but in Europe they are great bang for your buck. Just under 100 USD balanced and mounted each wheel and tire here in Europe
I have these on my JKU and they are OK. They do well on snow, but on wet roads they can break free pretty easily .
I used to run the ventus v12 and ran into the same problem. They would always wear down so fast, within two years.
