Tires Hankook or Cooper
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 - that's what I've got and swear by. I've done about 10k miles since putting them on in May and I've got about 6mm of tread left at the front.
I just got them for my Accord last week. So far they have been a good buy. They are far quieter and feel grippier on wet pavement than the Goodyear Eagle LS-2s that they replaced. I'll ll have to see how they wear, and feel how their performance changes over time.
I replaced my BFGoodrich MT T/A tires on my Wrangler with Hankook AT2 Extreme's, and what a difference. I'm 8,000 miles in on the AT2's, and there is zero sign of wear. My wife's mind was blown that our jeep was so much quieter, and we could have a conversation at highway speed without having to yell over the tire noise. These things are practically silent.
The off-road performance is greatly improved. Where the MT's would lose traction on mountain trails, the AT2's keep their grip and keep me moving.
Put a set on my 2017 Ford Explorer Limited up sized slightly 255/55/20 . Had for 2 weeks and have been very pleased with the performance. We have had heavy rain, Snow and ice and they have been very predictable.
Put some Hankooks on there; so much quieter and more comfortable. They aren’t as confidence-inspiring as the Yokos, but they are so much quieter and more forgiving. Kw/mi dropped to 270 with a mix of aggressive city driving and highway between 75-85mph.
I have the Hankook ION EVO on my M3 and they are a great smooth efficient tire, they now have 6k miles on them and no signs of wear yet.
For those in the market for new tires I just put a set of the Hankook ion evo tires on the X and they are INCREDIBLE. Before throwing these tires on I was definitely of the "there's no way these foam tires are going to make a differnce" school of thought. I'm a believer.
For my experience up to now, the stock Hankook Dynapro AT2 that came with my 2024 Pro4X are not as bad in snow as some peoples seems to say. So it might be year dependent, or type (I guess there's other than Dynapro AT2 being used). However they are far from being the best winter tire I got through time. For now they seems to do the job, but no heavy snow yet where I live. If they handle well though this winter I'll keep them while they last and will have to evaluate then what will be the replacement.
Mine were horrible in the rain. I swapped them out for Cooper AT3s.
Hankook is Korean garbage whereas Nokian is the best all weather tires on the planet.
