Tires Hankook or RIKEN
I’m running Hancook Kinenergy 4s2 on mine. 18R 9.5 W 245 45.
High performance, All Weather, rated W around $900 for a full set. They grip nice, great in the snow and water too
Hankook Kinergy’s. I’ve never had a budget tire that gripped as well as they.
Solid performance in wet, snow, and dry conditions, very minimal tire noise.
my Frontier's 18" OEM Hankook AT's lasted over 5 years and 63k I don't think I rotated them once
The best overall tire I have run is the Hankook MT2. I have 60,000mi on a set right now. I would buy them over and over again if I could. They handle great, ate very good offroad, wear very evenly, and don't get louder as they wear down.
Buy hankook, I switch from michelin and is the same, very good quality
Very pleased with the road noise and efficiency of the Hankook.
Ride is definitely quieter compared to my oems.
They are pretty hard tires. Loud, slip in the rain if you give it enough gas, don't feel as solid in a corner. But you'll get better gas mileage on them than a sport tire and they will take much longer to wear out.
For what it's worth, my Tiguan came with Hankook Ventus Noble 2 - GARBAGE. Honestly, screw VW for choosing the cheapest RFP'd crap. And screw Hankook for making awful, awful tires - shameful. Gone are the days of VWs being factory equipped with Michelin, Pirelli, and Bridgestone.
2018 Accord EX-L here. At 50K, replaced OEM Hankooks with Michelin Premier A/S tires. Side note: tech trash talks Hankook while writing up the service order. On the way home, I notice the ride quality has improved significantly.
Summary: avoid Hankook tires
