Tires Hankook or Goodyear
Better tires like my Goodyear Eagle Gts have features like side walls to protect my rims from curb rash.
I have the Hankook iPikes on my Prius and am very happy with them. I've run Michelin Arctic Alpins, Cooper Weathermasters (twice), Firestone Winterforce, Gislaved, and Nokian Haka2's. Each had very minor pros and cons but honestly I didn't find much of a real difference between any of them including the Hakka's which cost twice what the others costs.
The new tires I bought for the Fit's OEM wheels are Hankook Ventus V4 ES. An initial test drive in the Fit was great - smooth, quiet, actually much better at soaking up bumps with these 205/50R16's than with my Yoko 185/70R14 snow tires, which surprised me.
Yes, Hankook Optimo H727. They are CR rated #1 (let the hate fly) and have great reviews on TR and DTD. I got a set for my Golf and I'm VERY happy with them.
These tires are AMAZING! I still run a set on my R32.
I have Hankook Winter I*Pikes in 225/60R16 XL (102 load rating, I think) on my 2003EV. They have worked well for me.
I run 225/60/16 Goodyear Ultragrip Ice tires, and I have to say that the Eurovan is extremely capable in heavy snow with these tires.
I got two Goodyear Allegra FuelMax tires for the front of my Jetta before driving to Vancouver and they handled superbly in the rain we encountered every day on the road! I like to drive enthusiastically and they kept up just fine.
The Hancook's on my car are quite noisy on uneven surfaces.
Thanks Jason! I was wondering why my GY F1 255/35/19's were rubbing in the rear. After I went with the GY's it started, no rub with the factory Contis.
