Tires Hankook or Kumho
Kumho are excellent for the price, I have them on my SUV for winter.
Kumho Ecsta PA51. Have them on my MR2 and my Jetta. Very happy with them.
Hankook Ventus V2. I was always able to get them at a damn good price, and they did well. Not a tire I’d take on the track, but for everyday/all season use they are great. Plenty grippy, at least for my stock setup
I got the Hankook ion evo as suv and it was a great choice. They are quieter and absorb the bumps better than the OEM Continental Pro-Contacts.
Kumho Ecsta line is nice. I currently have the all season version but once I wear through those I’ll probably get the summer tire version on my enkei wheels for having fun and put some good winter tires on my daisy wheels. But look them up see for yourself, the summer tire I think is the PS31 it looks aggressive and is pretty sporty
I was using Hankok on the last car, I was satisfied with them.
My Kumho Crugen tires lasted 32k miles.
I drove them on the streets for a couple of years. The noises are present like the others said, but not terrible after a while. The main thing for me was, they’d hydroplane on every puddle, making it a bit sketchy in the rain.
I decided to try a set of Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 because they were suppose to have the foam inside the tires to have less road noise and performance while close to that of PS4S. Boy was I wrong, they weren't that quiet, and the sidewall was soft but made the car super bouncy. Felt like I was driving on some balloon tires for some reason.
Had Continental for years and they always lasted about 35-40k and wore evenly. Hancook Kinergy on same Honda last time (it was a convenience thing) and they are terrible. 23k and maybe I’ll get 30k out of them. They’re loud and I can tell they just aren’t wearing as well.
