Here’s an update on the Hankook tires. They are notably more efficient than the Pirellis. My daily commute was showing an average energy use of 285 Whr/mile pretty consistently. For the past month, it is now at 235 Whr/mile. This is in addition to being notably quieter over most road surfaces.
Slower but vastly more durable tire > outright pace for an 8 hour enduro. And the answer to that is, as always, Hankook RS4.
That's about as quiet as you'll get before going to a street tire. I have hankook dynapro at on one jeep and they seem a little quieter but they're also on a quieter jeep.
The falkens are pretty quiet though on my other jeep.
I’m running Hancook Kinenergy 4s2 on mine. 18R 9.5 W 245 45.
High performance, All Weather, rated W around $900 for a full set. They grip nice, great in the snow and water too
I had good experience with Kumho as affordable tyre option
Hankook Kinergy’s. I’ve never had a budget tire that gripped as well as they.
Solid performance in wet, snow, and dry conditions, very minimal tire noise.
my Frontier's 18" OEM Hankook AT's lasted over 5 years and 63k I don't think I rotated them once
One review says it's quiet, but the other review says it's loud:
That’s probably the number 1 thing I research when I buy tires now, I hate the loud hum some tires get as they wear. I’ve had two sets of Kumhos and I won’t be buying a third.
Only experience with OE Hancocks was on a VW Passat. Took delivery on new car and drove home from the dealer in a snow storm and it was the most severe case of white knuckle syndrome ever. The car was absolutely dangerous and scary.
