Tires Hankook or Firestone
as for brand, the last time i was running that many miles, i had good luck with hankook
I'd take the hankook prime 4, they're great tyres for the price. Really grippy.
Hankook. It's all I ran on my Forester and that thing was a tank. I'm now using them on my Acadia.
I got hancook kynergy tires for my second set and they've lasted me for 80k so far. The stock tires were kinda trash but these have been great year round
I was leaning towards the Hankook because of the great ratings. But I’ve also had to replace one on my factory continental tires a few months ago because I got a flat.
I used to commute from Ithaca to Syracuse daily in a mk5 GLI. I had studded Firestone Winterforces on steel wheels. That car was an absolute beast in the snow and regularly outperformed 4x4’s.
I’m looking to replace my stock summers (Hankook) with Conti extreme contacts. Does anyone know if I can go with a slightly bigger sidewall while staying with the 19” rim? My ultimate goal is to increase ride quality.
My Hankook only lasted 15,000km. Noise was a bit high compared to my DWS06+, but they had really good grip.
Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.
I would almost never recommend firehawks. They wear like shit
