The OEM Hankooks were utter garbage, on our 2017 Touring. We replaced them recently, at 30,000 miles, with [these Continentals](https://tiresize.com/tires/Continental/CrossContact-LX25.htm). They ride really nice, so far.
We have owned that tire on all four of our souls and we have had no problems in the snow. I personally like the tire, it’s rated great on tirerack.com and it drives great in the dry,wet and snow .
I absolutely love the Hankook RS4's! They are fantastic at autocross, don't melt at the track and they go unphased from street driving!
I can attest to how incredible the RS4s are. It’s great not having to give a shit about temp and just keep the pressures in check. Sure, not the fastest tire out there, but it’s simple to operate, predictable, and will last for a long time
I run Hankook RS4s on my dedicated track M3. I street drive mine to tracks, including one 120 miles away. I get about 20 track hours out of them, which equals about 18 track days. The downside is they don't work great when cold, and when they heat cycle out they turn into bricks.
Based on this description I would recommend Hankook RS4's they in the 2nd tier of performance, you'll be leaving maybe 1s per lap of performance over an A052 or an RE71R. But they last forever, are reasonably priced, feel good, won't kill you in the wet.
I'm gonna come out of left field here and recommend either the Falken Azenis FK510 or Hankook Ventus Evo 2. Both affordable (the Hankooks moreso than the Falkens), both grip great for spirited street use, both have respectable tread lives.
I'm speaking from experience with both.
My VW dealer gave me a good deal on Hankooks. They’re pretty good. No complaints here.
I had the V12s on my Subaru - were great until I had to stop in the snow. I have the V12s on my S2000 - tried to move it into the garage last year after it had started to snow and had a very difficult time getting traction.
The biggest tire buying mistake I've made was a set of Hankook V12's(not the newer evo2 version, which should be better). Honestly had them off my car in three weeks, the only good qualities being comfort and noise level. Feedback was awful, overall grip in both dry and wet was just adequate, and the sidewalls seemed non-existent at a variety of pressure settings.
