Have these on my 981S, they are excellent. I have just done weekend drives, they have great manners. Looking forward to racing them when I switch from skis to cars.
Owner reviews for tires
Have driven my set (255 40 R17) for around 70 laps of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, grip is quite good, don't take too long to heat up, and have excellent heat resistance. I can empty a fuel tank (5 laps) without noticing a performance drop off.
I have AD09's on my M2 Competition. Only have one autox and about 500 miles of street driving on them, but I like them so far.
Michelin is 100% worth it. I have them in my car 205/55/16 and they have been amazing so far.
When I got my 18 Limited, first thing I did was sell the stock tires on Craigslist. I went with the Yokohama Geolander AT tires, this was before there was a Wilderness trim level as those tires are what are on that car. 60,000 miles later they are getting down to a point where this would be the last summer I drive on them. Overall I enjoyed them, very good in the snow, quiet, good in the rain too and here in the PNW we get a fair amount of that.
On my honda crv hybrid the nexen wintertires lasted 75000 km and had still 3 to 4 mm on them I drove them also in Sumner very good also in the dry and wet You can't buy better tires for the price.
I took a look on Tire Rack out of curiosity. Hankook Kinergy rates 4 stars with 800+ customer reviews.
as a tire, they seem slightly dubious as far as the 200tw rating goes (although a052s are super low-duro too). they don't work well on heavy cars and from a buddy who runs them in practice/at non-scca events, they seem to overheat/slide a lot (corresponds to what the GRM article states). but they for sure are quick.
I have them on my Altima. Worst tires for hydroplaning I have ever owned. Frst time it rained, I thought the were directional and installed backwards.
I also have a bit of personal experience with Kumho - Wintercraft winter rubber. I don't like it honestly...
