Tires Hankook or Kumho
I just had a set of OEM Hankook Optimos last ~65000 miles. Replaced them with a set of Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2's and all is good so far.
Only have used the Ventus V12 Evo/2 on my Boxster, have been pleased with them.
Used the V12's on my Saab, good wear and quiet and get about 35-40k miles out of them. R-S3's for rain tires on my track TT, they work well for both slightly damp track days and in the heavy rain. On the street they are quiet compared to the Nitto NT-05's and last longer 30k miles normally opposed to 15-20k.
I've run Rs-3s on the Alfa. They are good option for a budget performance tire because they wear really well.
I have Hankook tires on my '77 Town Car. Miles above the 35 year-old Michelin Xs they replaced. They are quiet and grippy in the corners.
I've driven Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2's my dad's 993 quite a bit. No complaints, they work fine for highway cruising/spirited driving.
I had a set of Hankook Winter i*Pikes, and I liked them. Not as grippy as Blizzaks or Toyo G-02s, but they were also fairly cheap.
I got new Kumho Ecsta PA31 in 195-50-15:
Generally the only times I've had issues with Kumho is on lower profile tires giving on the sidewall, but generally they are an all around good tire
Got the tire just after thanksgiving has less that 1500 miles. Hit nothing blew out on a highway going 70.
