Tires Hankook or Continental
Continental Extremecontacts DWS06+, outstanding set of tires.
Especially in the rain, the amount of grip you'll still have is amazing
I've had an '18 GT for a few years now, and I am just now on my second set of Conti ExtremeContact DWS06. They've served me well driving up to Big Bear for snowboarding, and ripping on Angeles Crest in the summer. I have also NOT been kind to them (left turns from a stop I just can't help myself). 10/10 would recommend them for an all around grippy and safety tire.
I run continental Extreme Contacts DWS on mine. They’re amazing and handle snow well too
Conti Viking 7 have been best of the three in my opinion. Excllent in winter and I am even running 19 inch. I took my car out for a Sept warm wknd (was forced to) and even in those conditions I had no idea I was rolling on winters. If I had done that in my Blizzaks, you would have felt the softness. Based on their feel and winter performance, I won’t be looking at other winter tires again.
45k on my ions. Probably have about 5k left. Will definitely be getting them again. They have been fantastic!
Happy to report I am now at 70,366 miles on the car, so about 28K miles have been driven on these tires. Tires are working well, with no complaints. No noise issues, they don’t seem to have gotten louder since day one. Grip is fine. Most important, unlike my OEM Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires… I’ve had no sidewall bubbles or other issues. I highly recommend these Hankook tires.
It's hard to beat the Hankook iPike. I've run them on every vehicle I've ever had...only time I've been disappointed is when I tried a different tire.
All conditions were great EXCEPT wet root. So I'm also in the 'waiting for enduro super soft' camp.
Compared to Maxxis Assegai(grip) + DHR(terra) both exo+:
\* Conti feel more stable than exo+ but not worlds apart
\* Conti roll significantly faster (prob mainly due to Assegai being very slow)
\* Assegai maxxgrip has WAY more 'chemical' grip vs KR-F enduro soft. (Super soft is roughly the same)
\* Conti have more stability in side knobs and more 'physical' grip in loam
\* KR-R as better breaking traction IMO but is also heavier.
Must be a new hankook style. But based on the mileage warranty at 50k that’s pretty solid. Especially for a low profile tire. I would see more reviews based on the performance of the tire. How’s the noise when driving. Any vibration or anything like that.
Hate them hate them hate them. Looking for a replacement that won;t break the bank but will last me another 40K miles at least
