Tires Hankook or NANKANG
In average, max sustained, and peak db level in the cabin, the Hankooks were anywhere between .5 db and 2.5 db quieter than the Scorpions.
My 24 MYP came with Hankook Ion Evo SUV. They are new tires from Hankook specifically designed for EVs, so only time will tell about tread life, but really like them
Ion Evo A/S has a softer and quieter ride. they don't stick like Michelin's off the line and in the corners, but would easily pick Hankooks again
we went with hankook because discount tire carries them, and we have been buying tires from discount for 20+ years. so far, smooth and quiet, and nice range increase
Hankook dyanapro AT2. I put them shits on all my 4wd's and I've never thought they were too expensive
I run nankang ns-2r atm, they’re decent track tyres and for my region at least very affordable, but they also seem to last ages for a 180tw tyre which is a big plus for a road car that I can drive to the track.
My recommendation is the "other" OEM tire, Hankook's Kinergy series. On my RWD 22, they've lasted 35k miles so far and are still not near replacement. Unlike the Bridgestone's they are solid and you almost never hear a bad word from those that lucked out and got them.
I have Nakang NS2 in the front of my Alfa Romeo Brera. The Brera demands a lof of from front tires, they wear pretty well and have pretty decent grip (not great).
The thing is, you may like or not like, they have a soft construction. So you are more on the confortable side, but roll a bit more on corners and give you less steering feedback than a better tire like Michelin PSS.
My 2019 GLI came with the Hankook Kinergy GT. On paper it is considered a premium touring tire, but it is not very good. It is mostly dry where I live, but those things break loose at the slightest provocation - cornering, accelerating, etc. I don't know what they are like in the wet; from what I have read, they are not very good.
Mazda 6: Some randoms from the PO to Continental DWS. Huge improvement in road noise, which is good because I spent a while searching for the lowest road noise tires that would fit the odd stock tire size. Big traction improvement too, but that was not a surprise. No handling change otherwise.
S2000: BFG g-Force to Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 - these were cheap and horrible, but lasted forever. The weak sidewall made the car squish all over the place in any maneuver reminiscent of a lane change. Very strange behavior from the steering wheel when the car would re-center itself.
