Tires Hankook or BFGoodrich
I got the Hankook ion evo as suv and it was a great choice. They are quieter and absorb the bumps better than the OEM Continental Pro-Contacts.
I just put on bfg trial terrain all season and live in New England don’t get much snow.
They have much more grip than the original tyre but I don’t notice a difference in noise which is imprtant to me.
I was using Hankok on the last car, I was satisfied with them.
For the past 3 years I have been using the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 195/55R15 and I am super happy with them, but a little over 50,000km in it is time to get new shoes this winter. I have driven in snow and they felt quite ok.
Ive had BF Goodrich KO2's on my trailblazer for 15yrs, really like them.
I run Hankook Dyanpro on my Ariya. The Dynapro tires provides the best combination of price and ride quality that I have seen.
Hankooks handle snow and ice pretty well. But the compromise is they seem to be a very soft tire. I am lucky to get 32k of miles out of them. (They claim to be a 60k tire)
This is simply my perspective. I’ve had KM3, 3 different times. They are soft, they are more round than squared and performed well but I chunked them a lot using them to climb. One set I had new suspension and forgot to realign after it settled and did a little towing. I cupped all 4 wheels in 1500 miles.
KO2’s. Hard to balance, super noisey, terrible in rain and killed my gas mileage. Front tire blew out the sidewall going down the highway at 75 mph. Am running Continental Contacts A/T now. They’re awesome.
BFG K/O2 is the worst tire I've used. Noisy and bad MPG, worse off road performance than a mud or HT tire, and winter performance is barely acceptable.
