Tires Hankook or Nexen
Swapped out the 255/40 Michelin PS4 EVs for 255/45 Hankook Ion Evos. Straight away noticed they’re more comfortable and quieter. Fills the arch better too.
Nexen winguard sport 2 have been just fine for me.
I put Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 on instead (they were on sale and had white letter sidewalls, I am old school) and honestly I haven't regretted it at all... I do some off-roading and deal with pretty severe winters and snow and the Nexens have been very good in those conditions and I have put a fair amount of interstate highway miles on them and they run nice and quiet.
Hankook ion evo's are a bit quieter than the Yokohama I had before, but have same efficiency
I put Hankook Ion Evos on my M3P with the 20" wheels. They were quieter than the pirelli summer tires buy about 2-3 dbs. When I put them on at 29,000 miles my lifetime energy use was 265. After 5,000 miles use is at 240.
I went with the Nexens and have been very pleased.
I really like my Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 summer tires. Rides great, quiet, seems to stick really well.
I will say they are a bit hard for an autocross tire (even at 200 tw), I would go Kuhmo instead.
Hankook makes some of the cheapest crappiest tires. There was an issue with premature wear on the Explorers. Michelin is better but not hugely better. I'd use Continental DWS06 any day of the week.
I did not like this tires on a previous car I had. Did not last long and terrible in snow.
