The Ventus V12’s came new on my CPO. I can’t compare them to the OEM Michelin’s, but can tell you that they grip very well! ????
Good advice below, I have LTs with K02 but I would get C rated instead if I could get them in same setup I have, tire, rim, raised letters.
Less mass means more mpg on highway. Offroad the softer tires can feel softer too.
I had a set of Dynapro ATMs on my 2nd gen for several years. They had a 3PMSF rating and worked great in the snow while the tread was still deep (traction obviously degraded as they aged).
Caveat: They were the aftermarket versions. I'm unsure if they're the exact same quality as the OEM tires.
Ok, this is the first time doing some snow driving on the Pro4x with the hankook. I must admit the tires handle snow very well! I thought about airing them down but decided not to. The tires felt really good, and I drove with no issues. They do suck in the rain, but in the snow they handle well.
Hankook RS4 will last forever, but they are endurance tires - they will be on the slower side of the 200 spectrum.
So I ended up going with the 185/65r14 Hankooks (891 revs/mile) ... Balancing is actually pretty good for a manual bubble-level. Smooth up to ~85mph and then a tiny vibration starts and gets a little worse around 95. That's fine.. I stay under 80mph 99.999% of the time anyway. And speedo is dead-accurate, now, too, for the first time in my 19 years of ownership.
I just put 4x Hankook Kingerys on my 81 240d. 195/70/R14. Decent priced tire that suites SoCal driving. I got about 65k out of these on my rav4 previously.
Still love my 2020 SE except original Hankook tires. They are wearing already at low mileage 23K.
Got a set of Hankook with 70k miles warranty. After about 35k miles with mainly local suburban driving, the tread wear is almost to the indicator bar. Don't get Hankook.
Noisy is the least of your worries. These things are straight up plastic tires in the rain, seriously keep your distance and granny it in the rain.
