Because the RS-4 gives you tons of life and doesn't suck
Hankook Ipike for winter, put these on an AWD car and your almost unstoppable in the winter, sloppy handling and like every snow tire get noisier the more miles you put on them.
For something with some level of grip and high durability I suggest Hankook RS4.
If you want good ones but not pay premium price, go for second tier brands Nordman (Nokian), Kleber (Michelin), Firestone (Bridgestone) or Hankook (independent).
Last time I bought tires they were Hankooks. Came 2nd (or something) in a test by Tekniikan Maailma.
My MYP came with Hankook, so far I'm impressed
I have the Hankook and they’re as quiet or more than OEM. They were also the best priced and had the longest tread wear rating.
Hankook a trusted quality brand as well
Jmitchelltfo said: The Hankook S1 Evo 3 is listed as an ultra high performance summer tire. I ran them on a previous car and they were mediocre at best.
Only experience with OE Hancocks was on a VW Passat. Took delivery on new car and drove home from the dealer in a snow storm and it was the most severe case of white knuckle syndrome ever. The car was absolutely dangerous and scary.
That's why we call them Hancraps. One of the worst factory tires period from anyone in this day and age. Came on my 19 Platinum FX4, AT2 or ATM whatever model it was. Horrible, by far, worst wet weather traction
