Tires Hankook or NITTO
Hankook are the official tires for Hyundai and Kia, they are just the same quality as the other big brands but usually slightly cheaper, try to look for that
as for brand, the last time i was running that many miles, i had good luck with hankook
I'd take the hankook prime 4, they're great tyres for the price. Really grippy.
Hankook. It's all I ran on my Forester and that thing was a tank. I'm now using them on my Acadia.
I got hancook kynergy tires for my second set and they've lasted me for 80k so far. The stock tires were kinda trash but these have been great year round
I was leaning towards the Hankook because of the great ratings. But I’ve also had to replace one on my factory continental tires a few months ago because I got a flat.
I am at 25k in 13 months with 4/32 on my rear and 6/32 on the fronts of my Y Performance (can’t rotate due to staggered wheels). I have the Hankook Ion Evo AS suv tires. Those only start at 8.5/32 new from Tesla vs 10/32 for the replacement version. Not bad, if I was able to rotate I would have averaged 3.5/32 of wear over 25k miles. They still have pretty good traction, was able to fully launch in the recent nor’easter storm with slippage only on painted lines (testing to see how traction is in full rain, pretty impressive). But, there are now turns or on/off ramps that the rear wants to step out when applying a little more power than I should, was able to practically drift it around a ramp during the same storm.
The OEM Hankooks (on my 24') go full slip and slide mode if there's a drop of water on the road anywhere within 3 miles.
I can turn the "heavy steering" wheel with two pinched fingers and just my wrist when driving. It's not a big deal.
Diff breather mod.
Check the rain channels on the roof for cracking paint. Dealer should fix that as it's considered a workmanship warranty, else you can apply clear coat to the spots yourself to seal them when it inevitably cracks again.
If a leaf ever gets under the moulding/gasket around the windshield it can and will sound like your front speakers are crackling and dying when driving past 60 MPH and make your blood pressure go up trying to figure out what the hell is making that noise.
As someone who has ridge grapplers, these tires are horrendous in rain and snow.
Ran Grapplers on my F150 and they are loud AF. They’re not nearly as good on wet pavement, snow, ice as Wildpeaks.
