Tires Hankook or Firestone
Hankook Winter i*cept RS for 128€/tyre is reasonable and work well in snow.
I’m quite impressed by how these tires perform on wet roads even with how aggressive they are compared to other similarly aggressive all terrains like the BFGoodrich KO2 that I used to have. They also have a pretty good 70K mile warranty which is pretty great!
I really like Hankook tires. I've had no problem with traction and acceleration with my MYP with the Hankook ION Evos.
Hankook K435 Kinergy. Fantastic for what it costs
If endurance consistency and value are what you're looking for, it's Hankook rs4. Slower than the ecf but similar tires, cheaper and more tread life
Just got the Hankook iON EVO AS SUV on my 23 LR Y. The car came with the Goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 5 and they always seemed noisy and not super comfortable. After a couple days of driving with the hankooks I can definitely say they are MUCH more smooth and comfortable than the Goodyears. Yes I know I only have a few days on them so far but very impressive so far.
I installed Hankook ION EV AS tires at MIDAS - 25% cheaper than at the KIA dealership and free tire rotation for life. So far, they are great tires.
The tires I currently have are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, which were on the car when I bought it. For my use case I generally like them, with one exception: wet weather performance. Even though moderate NorCal doesn't see too many rainy days, I've felt myself losing traction/hydroplaning on quite a few occasions. If it weren't for this issue, I could easily see myself just replacing them with another set of Firehawks and calling it a day
Hankook are Korean garbage, Goodyear are very mediocre. If you live in a warm area they are fine but if you need quality check for other brands.
I upgraded to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AS at 6,000 miles. Money extremely well spent. The car feels like it’s on rails now. getting rid of those kinergys was a must. Terrible tire
