Tires Hankook or Goodyear
So I ended up going with the 185/65r14 Hankooks (891 revs/mile) ... Balancing is actually pretty good for a manual bubble-level. Smooth up to ~85mph and then a tiny vibration starts and gets a little worse around 95. That's fine.. I stay under 80mph 99.999% of the time anyway. And speedo is dead-accurate, now, too, for the first time in my 19 years of ownership.
I just put 4x Hankook Kingerys on my 81 240d. 195/70/R14. Decent priced tire that suites SoCal driving. I got about 65k out of these on my rav4 previously.
I have Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 6 as they scored extremely well in all conditions, now a year old and still in great condition.
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 - that's what I've got and swear by. I've done about 10k miles since putting them on in May and I've got about 6mm of tread left at the front.
I replaced my BFGoodrich MT T/A tires on my Wrangler with Hankook AT2 Extreme's, and what a difference. I'm 8,000 miles in on the AT2's, and there is zero sign of wear. My wife's mind was blown that our jeep was so much quieter, and we could have a conversation at highway speed without having to yell over the tire noise. These things are practically silent.
The off-road performance is greatly improved. Where the MT's would lose traction on mountain trails, the AT2's keep their grip and keep me moving.
Put some Hankooks on there; so much quieter and more comfortable. They aren’t as confidence-inspiring as the Yokos, but they are so much quieter and more forgiving. Kw/mi dropped to 270 with a mix of aggressive city driving and highway between 75-85mph.
They're both running good year reliants, that were only guaranteed for 60k miles. They have 90k each and still had tread left.
Ours came loose too and started shaking the steering wheel. We had 53k miles on our tires and there were getting replaced soon anyway. When I got new tires I got goodyears with no foam and no difference in road noise. The foam seems to be unnecessary and just something that will cause problems later.
2022 Audi Q5. 25,000 miles and left rear had a broken belt and tread separation. Felt a vibration while going down the highway at 65mph. 1/4” separation about 1/3 of the way around the tire. Also with 25,000 tire wear sucked.
Every Good year tire that I have owned was terrible. When I got my most recent F150 new it came with Good Years and I slid all over in just rain... put Michelins on in under a year as a result and was very happy. I do highway driving a lot so sliding in rain basically just coasting wasn't going to do well on a wet highway.
