Tires Hankook or BRIDGESTONE
My 24 MYP came with Hankook Ion Evo SUV. They are new tires from Hankook specifically designed for EVs, so only time will tell about tread life, but really like them
Ion Evo A/S has a softer and quieter ride. they don't stick like Michelin's off the line and in the corners, but would easily pick Hankooks again
we went with hankook because discount tire carries them, and we have been buying tires from discount for 20+ years. so far, smooth and quiet, and nice range increase
Hankook dyanapro AT2. I put them shits on all my 4wd's and I've never thought they were too expensive
I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.
My recommendation is the "other" OEM tire, Hankook's Kinergy series. On my RWD 22, they've lasted 35k miles so far and are still not near replacement. Unlike the Bridgestone's they are solid and you almost never hear a bad word from those that lucked out and got them.
They ride great, have great traction in wet weather and do not seem to exhibit excessive wear. Well priced compared to Bridgestones and I have no complaints.
I bought my Volvo XC90 with Hankooks. I replaced them when they wore out with Michelins. The Hankooks weren't horrible, but the Michelins were enough better to make them worth the extra money, IMO.
These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
For what it's worth, my Tiguan came with Hankook Ventus Noble 2 - GARBAGE. Honestly, screw VW for choosing the cheapest RFP'd crap. And screw Hankook for making awful, awful tires - shameful. Gone are the days of VWs being factory equipped with Michelin, Pirelli, and Bridgestone.
