Just got new tires! Hankook Ventus V2's. Highly recommend!
I’m using the non EV ones as Michelin replacements and they’re great. Just a slight range hit and a bit noisier than OEM.
Kenda Kiniptions on my main city commuter. No problems.
I decided to replace the stock tires on my Radwagon 4 EU with motorcycle tires. Here are some pros, cons, and thoughts. The Kenda's provide a much sturdier ride feel vs the stock tires. I found the stocks were bouncy and balloony, like the bike was on leaf springs. Super annoying. The Kenda tires are stiffer, eliminates cartoonish bounce, and ride feels smoother and secure.
It's a very quiet all-season with a 70,000 mile estimated life expectancy according to Discount Tire.
The Hankook tyres also came on my car. Didn’t know much about them so did some research. They invariably get great reviews.
Order directly from hankook Motorsports. They last a hella long time. I run them as my normal tire on two cars. On the dedicated track car I get about 25 hours / 80-100 heat cycles before they brick.
They last a long ass time, you can overheat them but they don't get really greasy. They just kind of fall off a little and stay there until you treat them nicer.
I have the Hankook Kynergy GT's on mine. They have been fine on dry roads even when pushing it in the corners. On wet roads, as others have said, not so much. I just take it easy when it's wet.
Riding on Pirellis Cinturatos P7 now. IMO best tire for the Passat. The hankooks had no grip even in very light snow. Rain driving was scary, loud on highway. I couldn't risk driving my family with them.
