Tires Hankook or Goodyear
I ended up deciding on Hankook R-S4's. Seem like a very good, though not quite RE71r level, dry autocross tire, better in wet than dedicated dry tires, able to take the heat of a track day, livable as a daily, and supposedly wear like rocks, so I'm assuming they end up being cheaper in the long run than the federal rs-pro's, or most any other 200tw tire.
If track is becoming a priority, the grip and durability of the Hankook R-S4 us tough to beat. I just bought my second set. Ran 10 track days and 9 autocross events on a single set last year
Have them on my TJ in 32.5” been very happy with them especially in snow.
I have 17s and I am on my second set. I got over 60k rotating 5 on the first set. Great grip in wet weather and excellent in snow too. Not too loud either.
Have had 3 sets, best at tire around. Much better than the KO2s I’ve had. 10/10 recommend
I have the Wrangler duratracs on 17"s and love them. They are great in all types of weather and performed really well off roading.
Have about ~25k miles on them and they seem to be at the halfway point in their lifespan.
Super happy with the duratrac, I’ll buy them again. They’ve been great in dry, wet, snow and ice (not as grippy as a snow tire on ice).
I absolutely love duratracs, I’ve put them on 3 different rigs now and they do amazing, they eat up snow and mud up here in the PNW, they do great in the rocks too.
I had the Hankook Ventus V12s are a different car. Here are my thoughts:
Decent grip, soft sidewall, narrower tire for its size.
Got some Hankook "100000 miles" H727 on the beater Honda. Within 3-4 years, or 50k miles later they're all shot. Tread is mostly gone. At the end I had a slow leak from cracks etc. The rubber ripped at the edges exposing the cord and leaks slowly, then rather quickly when it let go.
