Currently on 195/50 Hankook Ventus V2’s and they’ve been great. They look and perform great for a DD.
If you are looking for a pure track tire, have you looked at something like the Hankook RS4? Those seem to be very popular track tires and last well based on what I have seen.
I've had very good experience with Goodyear Weather Assurance tires.
I have Goodyear assurance triple treads on my 97 Town Car. 5 years old and over 100,000 miles also! Almost $400 each but well worth it.
Maine here. I have Duratracs on my 3rd gen and BFG KO2s on my 2nd gen. They do make more road noise than the KO2s, but seem like they would perform better than them in deep mud and snow. Comparatively, going from stock all seasons, my 2nd gen lost a little MPG with KO2s, my 3rd gen had a larger difference in loss of MPG with the Duratracs. The Duratracs also seem to fling up fewer small rocks and stones than the KO2s, which I definitely appreciate.
My buddy ran them for years on his first gen. They are great tires. Did well in any season British Columbia had to offer. They last a long time too.
I have them on my Tacoma! There is a bit of road noise with them but nothing that is too unbearable. Living in Canada I will say that they have been pretty good in the winter months as well!
Been running these on my JKU for three years now. They tend to get much louder as they age. They're great in snow, but not very good on ice or even wet roads.
I used to run the ventus v12 and ran into the same problem. They would always wear down so fast, within two years.
I am still kind of unhappy with Hankook and I'll probably avoid this brand in future. That said, it looks like my Hankook tires with 60k treadwear warranty were worn literally to ground in less than 25k miles in 3 years.
