With about 28,000 miles on my 2022 SEL AWD, it was time to replace the the Michelin's. I picked the Ions because it seemed like Hankook did their homework in terms of designing a tire with range and longevity considerations. Initial thoughts:
-VERY QUIET. These are somehow substantially quieter than the OEM wheels. Noise from bumps and rough roads are somehow soaked up as well. I'm impressed.
-Smooth and planted. Rolling on these at moderate speeds feels like floating on a cloud. Steering and acceleration/braking felt great too, no issues feeling like there's no grip.
-Didn't have too much rain experience, but it seemed to handle wet conditions fine, about the same as OEM.
-One con I noticed: These have a foam lining on the inside.
Depois de muita pesquisa em relação qualidade preço escolhi os Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125.
Another dhr could work. They roll super fast for their chunk.
I've had good luck with the Maxxis tires, I've had them on all three of our trailers without a failure.
I ride mixed terrain and a good all year tyre for me is the Assegai. With that said, I had DHF front and rear on my old bike and it was stuck to the ground like glue.
Very dusty here, prefer DHF over Assegai. Also prefer Dissector on rear, I find that combo rolls well and has heaps of traction in the dry.
Assegai is very good but be aware it can be very cloggy with mud and needs speed to clear. From what you say of your riding it might not be a problem for you but wet clay especially on slower tech trails can pretty much just turn them into a slick.
I bought my Volvo XC90 with Hankooks. I replaced them when they wore out with Michelins. The Hankooks weren't horrible, but the Michelins were enough better to make them worth the extra money, IMO.
Only fly in the ointment seems to be the OEM tires, Hankook Kinergy GTs. I've noticed, in the very short time we've had the car, that they are noticeably noisier than the Cooper Endeavors we had on our trade in, and the Michelin Cross Climate 2s we have on our other car.
If you're just driving on dry pavement, they're ok. They are absolutely horrible on wet pavement (poor grip and hydroplane easy). My daily driver came with them on it new and couldn't wait to get them off.
