Tires Hankook or GENERAL TIRE
I went for General Altimax RT45 year round on our Bolt. The price was right, they have good longevity and did well in Tire Rack's tests. Slight dip in range to the tune of ~5-10 miles. Just good all-arounders at nice price. They outdid the Defender 2 in Tire Rack's tests.
I just swapped out for another pair of New Englanders on a RAV4, got 52,000 out of the last set. They are quiet, traction hasn’t been a problem, live in northern New England.
My 2023 20th AE Golf R came with Hankook tires, and I've been very pleased with them. I'm a fairly aggressive driver and frequent the twisty roads in the Santa Monica Mountains. the Hankooks seem to perform almost as well in the dry, but outshine the PS4s in the wet.
HANKOOK ION EVO AS SUV. These replaced my factory stock tires and they were much better.
I got these for my mom's Nissan Juke AWD and they are incredibly good in the snow. Highly recommended. The worst snow day we had last year here in CT, it was freezing rain at 22 degrees Fahrenheit, the rain was freezing onto tires in big clumps, but they kept good traction. Took my car home, was slipping all over the place, but traded for Mom's car and drove the rest of the day (I'm a delivery person) and these went up and down driveways at a good angle even with the snow, was very surprised how good they are. The salesperson talked me into buying them, but I think they are as good as described.
Ja sam vozio na uniroyalu, goodyearu i sad Hankooku. Sve za preporuku.
I might be an outlier for this study because I have a little more than 30k kms on my Hankooks and only now they've gone below 4/32s
Eu am mers pana la urma pe all season, Hankook Kinergy 4S2 mai exact, ca aveam nevoie de anvelope noi si de vara si de iarna si cum fac mai putin de 7000 km anual nu mi se parea justificata investitia in 2 seturi de gume. Eu am un Renault Grand Scenic 3, care e o masina destul de grea, la 1600 kg, si odata ce o incarci depaseste usor 2 tone, dar in ciuda acestui lucru anvelopele si au facut treaba foarte bine. Cei drept le am de doar jumatate de an pe masina si nu le am testat inca pe timp de iarna, dar pe uscat si umed nu am simtit niciodata vreo lipsa de aderenta sau ca masina ar subvira, si nu sunt genul care sa mearga doar batraneste, i am dat si cu 180 si am mers si pe serpentine cu ea si "coreenele" si au facut cu brio treaba.
I got Hankook Tire Ion Evo AS just about 3 months ago. One thing I immediately noticed is the louder "Tire noise" but not by a lot. Totally tolerable. I just felt good that I got a good Tire for my car.
Now, 7 months in, I had a nail in my tire and I took it to Hankook tire and they fixed it for $20 or something. A day after fixing the tire, it is still loosing psi by about 12psi.
I contacted the Tire shop and got the following response: see image.
Is it normal that where I got the nail in is close to the unrepairable spot on the tire? With Michelin, i had it even closer to the edge and it was totally repairable and losted the full lifetime.
The tire shop showed me the repair by removing the tire and I can see that the repair was done very professionally. However, the angle of the nail was bad that I have to get a new tire.
Man... I'll say Michellin is quieter but wears out faster. Next time I would just get whatever is cheaper.
I'd advise against the RS4 altogether. They wear super slow but they heat cycled out after 100 runs for me. The RE71RS were still competitive at 150 runs. It's a great endurance track tire if you're looking for life, but as an autocross tire it's not actually cheaper per run and it's handling manners are generally terrible for the use.
