Tires Hankook or PHANTOM
Go with the hankooks, they wear like iron.
If you are new to tracking and do end up heat cycling them out, they are super consistent, which is way better to learn from.
Have had them for more than a year now on a Ford Fusion. They are a nice aggressive tire, lots of bite. They have a whole lot of tread. I haven't had the chance to really put them to the test in snow conditions but the little bit of snow I did get to try them in, they performed well. As far as an all season tire they are top notch for someone living in New England's unpredictable weather. They aren't going to compare to a snow tire in the snow but definitely outperform all the other all season tires I've had. I will definitely buy them again.
I’ve ran the Hankook Ventura V12 Evo2 on previous cars and felt they were perfectly serviceable.
I ran these tires for years in my first gen, Florida heat and rain. They were my go to for daily driving. No idea what everyone has against these tires, they never gave me an issue. Gripped or slipped when i wanted them to.
These used to be go-to tires for the off-season. Great value and grip. I also like them better than the PS4s.
The Ventus V12’s came new on my CPO. I can’t compare them to the OEM Michelin’s, but can tell you that they grip very well! ????
I had a set of Dynapro ATMs on my 2nd gen for several years. They had a 3PMSF rating and worked great in the snow while the tread was still deep (traction obviously degraded as they aged).
Caveat: They were the aftermarket versions. I'm unsure if they're the exact same quality as the OEM tires.
Must be a new hankook style. But based on the mileage warranty at 50k that’s pretty solid. Especially for a low profile tire. I would see more reviews based on the performance of the tire. How’s the noise when driving. Any vibration or anything like that.
My first time in the rain was the nail in the coffin it's straight up irresponsible that VW put those things on our cars. It's a shame but mine didn't last 1000mi before I got rid of them and that's only because I waited for a sale.
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.
