Tires Hankook or Kumho
I have Kumho winters and have zero complaints about them.
I bought Hankook I*cept 3 winters and they were cheaper than some others in my size, still expensive but rated way higher than the rest. God damn they’re incredible. My 340i X-drive only slips when I want it to, even here in Alberta, Canada where we get loads of black ice and also tons of slushy days.
Take a look at the kumho ecsta pa51. I got a set this summer and am happy with them. Plus they were very affordable.
I actually like the Hankook ion as so far, quiet 10% more range, and comfortable vs Conti and seem to handle well.
I tracked my 95 Miata with original, stock, 26yr old suspension with 200tw hankooks and endurance racing pads, roll bar and 6 pt harnesses was all I ran for the longest, and keep up with faster cars in intermediate/ occasionally advanced in my 95hp, 2750lb car
2020 Elantra SEL with the Kumho TA31s I currently have 64,700 miles on the stock tires… So far they’re good tires I think.
Nobody ever talks about Hankook Dynapro AT2's and I dont know why. I havent really tested mine on tough trails, but they have been great on rutted out fire roads and on city streets. So far so good.
Cazan din 2001, Nexen de vară, Bfgoodrich de iarnă, ambele clasa B la franare pe ud, anul viitor trebuie să-mi iau alt set de vară și îmi face cu ochiul Hankook cu seria Ventus Prime.
I would pick the Ecopias, they are reviewed much higher than the Kinergy tires on tire rack (but far from the best). I got the Kinergys on mine and they are ok, but if it rains they are not the best and slip easily.
Mazda 6: Some randoms from the PO to Continental DWS. Huge improvement in road noise, which is good because I spent a while searching for the lowest road noise tires that would fit the odd stock tire size. Big traction improvement too, but that was not a surprise. No handling change otherwise.
S2000: BFG g-Force to Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 - these were cheap and horrible, but lasted forever. The weak sidewall made the car squish all over the place in any maneuver reminiscent of a lane change. Very strange behavior from the steering wheel when the car would re-center itself.
