Tires Hankook or Kumho
If endurance consistency and value are what you're looking for, it's Hankook rs4. Slower than the ecf but similar tires, cheaper and more tread life
Just got the Hankook iON EVO AS SUV on my 23 LR Y. The car came with the Goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 5 and they always seemed noisy and not super comfortable. After a couple days of driving with the hankooks I can definitely say they are MUCH more smooth and comfortable than the Goodyears. Yes I know I only have a few days on them so far but very impressive so far.
I just put on Kumho RoadVenture AT and have had no complaints. CO just got hit with a pretty good snow storm (as least 6 inches) last week and they did great driving in it.
The Kumho is a far superior tire from a respected manufacturer based in South Korea. The Radar might look like the better deal up front, but it will likely wear fast and not perform anywhere near as good as the Kumho tires.
I had those Kumhos on my mustang and found they were really good. No complaints about them. I highly recommend them especially for the price
I'm in Vancouver where it constantly rains for half the year and I haven't noticed any issue with the stock Kumhos whether in the city or on the highway.
Even in the snow, I felt they performed fine driving at half the speed limit in the city.
I got a set of Kuhmo's 2 years ago and I have no complaints. For the price I paid, I love them. They feel like the Michelin and Continental tires I have had previously, but I don't know if they will last as long.
Years ago I had an enlightening experience with Hankook Dynapro MTs, when I broke a tire and for a few weeks in winter had a a siped tire on on end of the rear axle and an unsiped tire on the other. The limited slip had to work very hard to keep me on the road in ice conditions in 2WD.
The Kumho are crap in the rain. I was facing hydroplaning issues within a week of buying the car.
The did do it in a decently controlled way but I have not been impressed with the stock tires at all. Not to mention I have 20k on them and about 10% of tread left.
My tires sounded like a mack truck. Removed them at 15k and replace with continentals.
