I’ve had 22” Nokians on my R1S for 8,000 miles, and noticed no difference in efficiency. I *have* noticed (as have others) that they have significantly more tread than the stock Pirellis at this same point. Given their cost, any increase in “fuel” costs due to worse efficiency (if that is a thing) will probably be more than made up for by the lower cost of the tires, and the (likely) longer useable life.

I’ve got a plug in the same spot on some BFGs and it’s held fine.
I've run the Toyo GSi 6 HP for a while and it's been really good, I would prefer maybe a bit more ice traction at intersections polished by idiots flooring it and turning it into a skating rink.
Michellin yung all weather. Been using it. So far so good. Tahimik at makapal pa rin kahit laging ginagamit
Had some true dedicated winters (Yoko Iceguards). Ice , snow, it would just go. Gave me piece of mind.
Having the CC2s will definitely help. The CC2s will definitely help you stop.
Just got some 285/75r16 toyo at3's installed and they look and feel great. It's a 2023 tacoma trail edition so i wasn't sure how they would fit with the trail having the miniscule lift and the different rin offset but I just had it out wheeling and the only rubbing i had was 2 little spots on the front mudflaps only when half turned. I took a heat gun and pushed them in and that eliminated the rubbing entirely. Im really loving the look and feel (im not sure if its just me but it feels more planted to the ground). The fuel mileage went up to 15.4L/100 on the highway which isnt the worst and there is more road noise too but coming from my dodge dakota its still 1000x's better.
I got Hankook Tire Ion Evo AS just about 3 months ago. One thing I immediately noticed is the louder "Tire noise" but not by a lot. Totally tolerable. I just felt good that I got a good Tire for my car.
Now, 7 months in, I had a nail in my tire and I took it to Hankook tire and they fixed it for $20 or something. A day after fixing the tire, it is still loosing psi by about 12psi.
I contacted the Tire shop and got the following response: see image.
Is it normal that where I got the nail in is close to the unrepairable spot on the tire? With Michelin, i had it even closer to the edge and it was totally repairable and losted the full lifetime.
The tire shop showed me the repair by removing the tire and I can see that the repair was done very professionally. However, the angle of the nail was bad that I have to get a new tire.
Man... I'll say Michellin is quieter but wears out faster. Next time I would just get whatever is cheaper.
Had Continental for years and they always lasted about 35-40k and wore evenly. Hancook Kinergy on same Honda last time (it was a convenience thing) and they are terrible. 23k and maybe I’ll get 30k out of them. They’re loud and I can tell they just aren’t wearing as well.
I have these on my car. I like how it performs in dry and slightly wet or snowy conditions. When it comes to water puddles or heavy rain, this thing hydroplane like crazy.
