These are the OEM set on my 24 LR RWD. I’ve liked them. Super quiet when new. I think the foam has separated inside one of the tires because I have a very slight vibration at highway speeds. I rotate at the recommended intervals and at 33k miles have about 5/32-6/32 left.
I’m still on my hankook ion evos — probably my favorite tires. I did notice that having them rotated every 3k miles is better than the suggested 6250 to make sure the tread is wearing evenly. I forget when exactly I got them mileage wise, but I’m still around 5-6/32nds and it’s been a year. I also floor it a ton (22 long range with boost). Not noisy.
I have these and so far they are good. I think Im at 24k miles and they are nowhere near replacement. The stock tires were around 225wh per mile and these are giving me 218wh per mile (averaged over thousands of miles) Noise is always subjective abit - tires get nosier the more they wear - so any new tires will be immediately noticeable. Im not sure I buy into the whole sound deadening material stuff.
The Toyo GSI and Hankook I-Pike are both very good performers at better prices. The cheap Chinese tires might be ok for the first season or so, but they fall off very quickly as they wear.
Kenda K-RAD are super grippy!
Perfect all around tires for this kind of bike.
I have had them for 3 winters on a Corolla and found them very good for snow, and decent for ice albeit not quite as good as Blizzaks or Hakkapellitas on ice. They ride quietly and have decent tread wear ratings.
My Hankook only lasted 15,000km. Noise was a bit high compared to my DWS06+, but they had really good grip.
Hankook Ion Evo A/S SUV 255 40r 20 just installed. Replacing Oem Goodyear F1 at 50,600 miles. So we will see
I just put one of those tires on the front of my K1600 & it doesn't like speeds over 70 mph. It handles good at low speeds & in the rain, but I don't like it at all on the highway. Feels like rain grooves on any surface.
My 2023 model 3 LR came with Hankook Kinergy GT M&S tires. Based on the tire rack reviews I think they are almost identical to the Hankook Ion tires.
If so. My experience with the Kinergy tires was not great. While they were super efficient (lifetime average 246wh/mile) they gave up early on spirited cornering on both dry and wet pavement (might be the difference between avoiding a potential accident). They are adequate in winter driving. Where the were outright dangerous was hydroplaning.
