Tires Hankook or OEM Volkswagen
Hankook RS4 will last forever, but they are endurance tires - they will be on the slower side of the 200 spectrum.
So I ended up going with the 185/65r14 Hankooks (891 revs/mile) ... Balancing is actually pretty good for a manual bubble-level. Smooth up to ~85mph and then a tiny vibration starts and gets a little worse around 95. That's fine.. I stay under 80mph 99.999% of the time anyway. And speedo is dead-accurate, now, too, for the first time in my 19 years of ownership.
I just put 4x Hankook Kingerys on my 81 240d. 195/70/R14. Decent priced tire that suites SoCal driving. I got about 65k out of these on my rav4 previously.
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 - that's what I've got and swear by. I've done about 10k miles since putting them on in May and I've got about 6mm of tread left at the front.
I replaced my BFGoodrich MT T/A tires on my Wrangler with Hankook AT2 Extreme's, and what a difference. I'm 8,000 miles in on the AT2's, and there is zero sign of wear. My wife's mind was blown that our jeep was so much quieter, and we could have a conversation at highway speed without having to yell over the tire noise. These things are practically silent.
The off-road performance is greatly improved. Where the MT's would lose traction on mountain trails, the AT2's keep their grip and keep me moving.
Put some Hankooks on there; so much quieter and more comfortable. They aren’t as confidence-inspiring as the Yokos, but they are so much quieter and more forgiving. Kw/mi dropped to 270 with a mix of aggressive city driving and highway between 75-85mph.
I have the Hankook ION EVO on my M3 and they are a great smooth efficient tire, they now have 6k miles on them and no signs of wear yet.
I had Venus V2s on my old shitty mustang. They were decent though their performance in the wet left a bit to be desired.
Absolutely horrible.
They're slippery on every single surface whether it be tarmac or on the side of a mountain.
They're so bad I put mine for sale and nobody wanted them.
My tires sounded like a mack truck. Removed them at 15k and replace with continentals.
