Tires Hankook or Laufenn
I like my RS4 in the rain. They will slide in tight situations in standing water, but it’s controllable. They’re very steady at speed.
Yes. they are amazing! had them on my mini countryman for 4 1/2 years. also are pretty good in warm weather too (its a higher performance all-season)
Got some Hankook ion Evo tires for my Model Y. Had the Asymmetric 5’s and they lasted 50k so I’m hoping these last a long time too. Right off the bat they are softer than my old ones but not as sporty. Still a very good tire and can pick up the pace.
Some hankook Ventus Tyred 80$ and perfect for the car
Discount Tire. I got Laufenn G-Fit that I've been really pleased with. They actually sold my tires to somebody else by accident so I had to come back after 2 days to have them installed and they waved all of the install fees. So I got a full set of tires with warranty for $385 including tax and fees.
I have had Laufenn G Fit on my Honda Fit since this summer. They're Hankooks and fantastic. I wanted a low noise grand touring tire and these had pretty good reviews and I got them for about 85 bucks each a corner on sale and thought, this is a Pimp My Ride moment that I cannot give up. I mean I heard you liked Fits yo so I got you four G Fits for your Fit.
This Honda is a noisy car compared to most other modern cars and the previous Sumitomos roared with half the tread left. These new guys just sort of hum quietly and calmly and sometimes I don't even hear them on really good pavement. They are night and day better as far as comfort and noise.
The highway feel is amazing, they track really well and took away any squirliness of the car which it inherently has because it's rather lightweight. It feels like you're driving a little train, but it easily switches lanes when you need to. I don't feel like I need to correct as much when I'm at speed.
Criticisms you'll find online have to do with wet weather grip which I took pretty seriously by going out to some empty roads and trying to peel out and slide in a torrential downpour. I couldn't find any fault with them compared to the older tires.
Of course they might not be the right tires on something else like a big old German touring sedan. But on this 2500 lb Honda they are comically good for the price.
I like them so much I'm thinking about getting some for my CRV as well. I like them better than the Michelin Defender that were on a car that I just sold. Of course, I think the Michelin probably has longer tread wear, but as far as the driving feel these cheap tires are amazing.
Just a reminder, I'm talking about the G version and not the X or I think they make an s version too. But I assume they all have similar carcasses and compounds.
I purchased a set of Laufenn for my '04 Pilot this summer. So far, so good. I don't expect them to perform like a Michelin, but that's okay for my soon-to-be 22-year-old daily driver.
I have a 225/55/ZR17 Laufenn S FIT A/S tires. I came from Continental pure contact LS and to be honest, I haven't noticed any difference.
I have a 2023 and love it, but the hankook dynapro at2 tires are the worst I’ve ever experienced. Laughable traction in wet weather, a slight incline would spin the rears no matter what. Worse, they punctured 4 times just from driving on dirt roads. Gravel was opening these things up like they were ziplock bags.
I’m actually pretty disappointed with me ion evo’s. I got them for my ‘22 LR AWD. At first they were really good - and maybe I got a defective set or something- but at about 18k miles on them I already needed a new set. Even the guys at Discount Tire were pretty surprised they went bad so quickly. I don’t really hot rod the car. For reference my OEM tires were Hankook Kinergy GT and I got about 40k miles out of them. They start out as really good tires so I hope you have better luck than me!
