Tires Hankook or BFGoodrich
BFG is a great brand, not saying it's the best by any means, but it's a quality tire.
I have no issue with BFG and have g-Force Comp-2 on our Mustang and have been very happy with them
I took a look on Tire Rack out of curiosity. Hankook Kinergy rates 4 stars with 800+ customer reviews.
Hankook Kinergy 4S² H750 sind die geilsten Allwetterreifen die ich bis jetzt fahren konnte. Unschlagbar bei Nässe, Schnee auch keine Probleme und das wichtigste, bei Trockener Fahrbahn kannst du damit sogar über den Ring ballern.
I went for Hankook Synergy 4s. Good price vs performance and no issues on my Countryman.
Yes, I had the Hankook New Englander 205/55R16H for about 4 years on my Mazda 5, and they had just over 60k miles on them. I liked them enough to buy the same thing again. I'm in Massachusetts and they feel great in all kinds of New England weather. I do a lot of driving to work including highway and city. They are grippy in rain, snow, sleet and every combination even at highway speeds. I did get a bulge in the sidewall and kept driving them the last 5-10k or so, even though I knew better. (Don't do this even though it never popped on me.) There was still a little wear left on them, but you have to replace a tire with a bulged sidewall, so I got all 4.
BF Goodrich tires have a compound that is oustanding in the snow, even their non-snow-specific tires are excellent in the snow, due to the compound.
They are pretty hard tires. Loud, slip in the rain if you give it enough gas, don't feel as solid in a corner. But you'll get better gas mileage on them than a sport tire and they will take much longer to wear out.
There is a chance they worked better in very hot climate but in the mild Pacific North West they didn’t perform well. Half the performance for half price. Once I switched to Michelins all traction problems went away.
Like others have said, I thought they were subpar. In the first 6 months, I swapped them out for the Michelin PS4 All Seasons, worth every penny.
