Tires Hankook or KENDA
It'll be a huge leap over those junk Hankooks.
Get Hankooks or Firestones if you want to save a couple of bucks, while still having a great tire.
I have a kenda 760 rear on my kx85, I think I only run like 10-14psi in it but it feels fine.
After lots of research I went for Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tyres and am very, very happy with them.
i have 20 x 1.75 kenda commuter tires. i usually fill them to about 40-45psi, i think the side wall says 40-60 psi?
Can't comment on loudness as the S2000 is just plain loud, but have run these on the S2000 in both the earlier V12 and later Evo2 variety. pretty happy with them for a street tire, stable in the rain, predictable, and they seem to wear well (S2000's eat rear tires every 10k anyway on proper alignment specs).
i had them on my A6. I thought they were pretty good. would buy again.
I used to run them on my S60R and really liked them. For the price they were decent. Not quite as quiet or grippy as some more expensive tires, but they've been my go-to for "slightly cheaper" tires for a while.
In run kenda K35 tires (but not gumwall) and they are ok budget tires. They work well but are not especially light, grippy or puncture-resistant.
I have the same tires on the Mazda3 and their wet performance is sh*t IMO.
