Hankook Ipike for winter, put these on an AWD car and your almost unstoppable in the winter, sloppy handling and like every snow tire get noisier the more miles you put on them.
For something with some level of grip and high durability I suggest Hankook RS4.
If you want good ones but not pay premium price, go for second tier brands Nordman (Nokian), Kleber (Michelin), Firestone (Bridgestone) or Hankook (independent).
Last time I bought tires they were Hankooks. Came 2nd (or something) in a test by Tekniikan Maailma.
My MYP came with Hankook, so far I'm impressed
I have the Hankook and they’re as quiet or more than OEM. They were also the best priced and had the longest tread wear rating.
Hankook a trusted quality brand as well
Just got my hands on the Hankook ventus prime 4 quiet, soft, calm, sticks to the ground and doesnt suffer on cornering or handling no understeering or whats so ever. Highly recommend either the bridgestone or the hankooks especially for long drives.
I bought my Volvo XC90 with Hankooks. I replaced them when they wore out with Michelins. The Hankooks weren't horrible, but the Michelins were enough better to make them worth the extra money, IMO.
Hankook iPikes. Bought used missing only 1/32 tread from factory new. $150 for the set from someone that sold the Hyundai they were on to get a Toyota SUV (don’t recall which one). I don’t care for them, being used to a higher tier of winter tire. They slip more on ice and snow grip is decent but I’ve had better in Blizzaks, or the best in Hakkapelitas.
Only experience with OE Hancocks was on a VW Passat. Took delivery on new car and drove home from the dealer in a snow storm and it was the most severe case of white knuckle syndrome ever. The car was absolutely dangerous and scary.
