The le3 are the only oem style tire id ever recommend. I’ve never seen a manufacturing issue, they last forever and are quite quiet for what they are.
If cost is an issue, the more economical street tire you can get that has solid track performance is the Hankook RS4. They last forever and are a great tire to learn on.
I did a bunch of research and went with bridgestone blizzaks. They make my winter drives way more enjoyable. I can't believe I'd gone without them for so long. Plow up hills/etc that I would never think about attempting in previous years.
Blizzak DM V2 are the only ones I have experience with, but they are miles better than ATs on my 4Runner (and I have the Nokians).
I have 10 ply Blizzaks in Maine and they’re awesome. Wildpeaks for summer. If I don’t swap soon enough and I’m driving the Wildpeaks in snow, it’s very uncomfortable!
'23 Venture+ - just crossed 36,000 miles on the odometer. Not a single software or mechanical related issue with the vehicle. Only done routine maintenance, tire rotations every 7500 miles (still on original OEM Alenza's) two cabin filters and a complementary brake fluid replacement service.
Very quiet, aggressive look, excellent traction.
My R came from the factory with the Bridgestone Potenza S005s. They're decent for daily driving—good grip in the dry and pretty quiet—but they’re not amazing in the wet.
My 2023 model 3 LR came with Hankook Kinergy GT M&S tires. Based on the tire rack reviews I think they are almost identical to the Hankook Ion tires.
If so. My experience with the Kinergy tires was not great. While they were super efficient (lifetime average 246wh/mile) they gave up early on spirited cornering on both dry and wet pavement (might be the difference between avoiding a potential accident). They are adequate in winter driving. Where the were outright dangerous was hydroplaning.
Bridgestones are meh and overpriced. Ecopias are just meh.
