Tires Hankook or DUNLOP
I run Dunlop American Elites. Mind you, I do so because it’s a good tire - not so much a ‘Made in America’ reason, albeit a plus.
Go with the hankooks, they wear like iron.
If you are new to tracking and do end up heat cycling them out, they are super consistent, which is way better to learn from.
Dunlop SP Sport J6, my go to for budget tyres. The wet and dry performance is good although it can get a bit noisy over time.
Dunlop Roadsmart 4 is a very good tire.
Good grip and good mileage.
Have had them for more than a year now on a Ford Fusion. They are a nice aggressive tire, lots of bite. They have a whole lot of tread. I haven't had the chance to really put them to the test in snow conditions but the little bit of snow I did get to try them in, they performed well. As far as an all season tire they are top notch for someone living in New England's unpredictable weather. They aren't going to compare to a snow tire in the snow but definitely outperform all the other all season tires I've had. I will definitely buy them again.
I’ve ran the Hankook Ventura V12 Evo2 on previous cars and felt they were perfectly serviceable.
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.
I had Venus V2s on my old shitty mustang. They were decent though their performance in the wet left a bit to be desired.
Mine came with dunlops and all four had to be replaced after about 16k due to dry rot.
It's a shame that Formula E still uses Hankook tires. Seriously limits the effectiveness of the cars, especially in 'attack mode'
