Tires Hankook or KENDA
Go with the hankooks, they wear like iron.
If you are new to tracking and do end up heat cycling them out, they are super consistent, which is way better to learn from.
I've got 35x12.5R17 MT2s and they're about as you'd expect for a large knobby mud tyre (noisy and added vibration).
Off road, great tyre. Really good value too.
Have had them for more than a year now on a Ford Fusion. They are a nice aggressive tire, lots of bite. They have a whole lot of tread. I haven't had the chance to really put them to the test in snow conditions but the little bit of snow I did get to try them in, they performed well. As far as an all season tire they are top notch for someone living in New England's unpredictable weather. They aren't going to compare to a snow tire in the snow but definitely outperform all the other all season tires I've had. I will definitely buy them again.
I’ve ran the Hankook Ventura V12 Evo2 on previous cars and felt they were perfectly serviceable.
I ran these tires for years in my first gen, Florida heat and rain. They were my go to for daily driving. No idea what everyone has against these tires, they never gave me an issue. Gripped or slipped when i wanted them to.
These used to be go-to tires for the off-season. Great value and grip. I also like them better than the PS4s.
The Ventus V12’s came new on my CPO. I can’t compare them to the OEM Michelin’s, but can tell you that they grip very well! ????
Go for the Hankooks. That's a big price hike for not *that* much more tire.
After 2K miles i could not stand the road noise anymore. I upgraded my tires and what a difference it was. that annoying road noise disappeared and grip got a lot better.
I don't think they're overly noisy but don't think they're very grippy. I'm actively avoiding running the car in the rain from the hydroplaning posts and dismal Tire Rack ratings - which is kind of ridiculous.
