I have had them for 3 winters on a Corolla and found them very good for snow, and decent for ice albeit not quite as good as Blizzaks or Hakkapellitas on ice. They ride quietly and have decent tread wear ratings.
After 22,000 miles, my stock Pirelli’s were down to 2/32” and desperately needed to be replaced. I ordered the Hankooks based on a recommendation from a user here from SimpleTire. They already feel 1000x better than the worn ones they replaced. They also look a little more rugged than the Pirellis and I really like the overall look of them on the Riv.
The 3CT (MaxxTerra?) is a much more suitable rear tyre compound and it's already on the softer side, I can't imagine ever running a Maxxgrip rear tyre outside of pro racing as it's slow rolling and wears out incredibly fast.
Hankook R-S4 if you aren't chasing 10ths because they grip well and wear like iron. They just don't grip quite as well as the rest of the "Super200" autocross tires.
I just got the Hankook Ion Evo A/S installed on my 24’ MY a few weeks back. Great tires. More silent than the oem cont ones.
grab a set of hankook kinergy tires(also fairly cheap) and trust, itll feel like a whole different car. Handling will improve an exponential amount. You'll feel a night and day difference
I got Hankook Tire Ion Evo AS just about 3 months ago. One thing I immediately noticed is the louder "Tire noise" but not by a lot. Totally tolerable. I just felt good that I got a good Tire for my car.
Now, 7 months in, I had a nail in my tire and I took it to Hankook tire and they fixed it for $20 or something. A day after fixing the tire, it is still loosing psi by about 12psi.
I contacted the Tire shop and got the following response: see image.
Is it normal that where I got the nail in is close to the unrepairable spot on the tire? With Michelin, i had it even closer to the edge and it was totally repairable and losted the full lifetime.
The tire shop showed me the repair by removing the tire and I can see that the repair was done very professionally. However, the angle of the nail was bad that I have to get a new tire.
Man... I'll say Michellin is quieter but wears out faster. Next time I would just get whatever is cheaper.
I have the Hankook Winter i*cept Evo³ (non-X) and on ice, they don't do great. Dry, snow and wet is great though.
I spin the stock Hankooks on the Mk8 constantly. Which is crazy for a 235 summer tire on a 240hp car.
I used RS4s and as much as I love them as a daily driver/back road tire they’re practically useless as an autocross tire. They need lots of heat to get grippy and I never managed to get that from an autox run.
