Tires Hankook or Hifly
I took a look on Tire Rack out of curiosity. Hankook Kinergy rates 4 stars with 800+ customer reviews.
Hankook Kinergy 4S² H750 sind die geilsten Allwetterreifen die ich bis jetzt fahren konnte. Unschlagbar bei Nässe, Schnee auch keine Probleme und das wichtigste, bei Trockener Fahrbahn kannst du damit sogar über den Ring ballern.
I went for Hankook Synergy 4s. Good price vs performance and no issues on my Countryman.
Yes, I had the Hankook New Englander 205/55R16H for about 4 years on my Mazda 5, and they had just over 60k miles on them. I liked them enough to buy the same thing again. I'm in Massachusetts and they feel great in all kinds of New England weather. I do a lot of driving to work including highway and city. They are grippy in rain, snow, sleet and every combination even at highway speeds. I did get a bulge in the sidewall and kept driving them the last 5-10k or so, even though I knew better. (Don't do this even though it never popped on me.) There was still a little wear left on them, but you have to replace a tire with a bulged sidewall, so I got all 4.
I love my Hankook Ions, my MYP had the Pirelli Pzeros as my original set.
One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the road noise and how much quieter the drive is.
I’ve had both and the biggest difference I saw was the range hit. I was the sole driver so no difference in driving style - MPS AS4’s were 10% worse. Loved them but would go with the Hankooks were I to do it again.
The Hankooks are slightly softer absorbing a smidge more of the road. Noise difference between the 2 isn't noticeable at all. The Hankooks are slightly more efficient, lifetime on the Michelins is 306whm and the Hankooks are 297whm(tracked via TeslaMate).
So here is my take everything is great except lifespan. But since I have tried it in different climates I can only anecdotally say maybe the heat of SoCal wore down the tires. I drive regular not aggressive on a 2022 M3LR and for the first 12,000 miles wear was 1/32 then all the sudden it lost 3/32 in 6000 miles so now I'm at 5/32 with even wear.
Hankook is Korean garbage whereas Nokian is the best all weather tires on the planet.
Hankook are Korean garbage, Goodyear are very mediocre. If you live in a warm area they are fine but if you need quality check for other brands.
