Tires Hankook or Cooper
I use Hankook RS4s because endurance 200TW tires are cost effective. I can run them on my VN for at least an entire season and then some. It's gotten a bit chilly and there so the grip in colder weather is lacking if you're pushing it.
RS4 are a great all around track day tire. They wear fantastic, don't get really greasy and are predictable.
I find the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo just as grippy as the PS4S but much cheaper. However, the ride quality suffers.
I have about 45,000 miles on a set of the Hankook DynaPro HT.
I like them a lot.
Both my Corolla and gf's CRV sport Cooper CS5 Ultras now. Definitely better than what was on them before. Very noticeable on the winding mountain roads, combined about 80 miles per day.
Just got new tires! Hankook Ventus V2's. Highly recommend!
I’m using the non EV ones as Michelin replacements and they’re great. Just a slight range hit and a bit noisier than OEM.
Cooper AT3's, 215/70-16 to fit an 04 FXT. Fantastic tires, even does great in the snow down to about 20F (or did when new, they're 50-60% worn now and pretty scary on ice, as are all AT tires).
I love/hate my Discoverer AT3s. Love them for mileage, and noise level. Hate them because now I hear everything else I need to fix.
I have the Ventus V12s on my SLK in the Bay Area too. Very similar tire. They absolutely suck at displacing water. I can legit lose the back end in heavy rain at medium speeds. The grip and launch in the summer is great, but they are simply not designed for water displacement.
