Even a slightly preowned premium tire is better than cheap Chinese crap. Can attest to this personally. I went from new Sailun summer tires in factory size (225/60R16) on my 280hp car to used Michelin Premacy 3s. Guess which had better grip? Guess which was fine to -1C road surface temperature on a wet road?
It's a very quiet all-season with a 70,000 mile estimated life expectancy according to Discount Tire.
The Hankook tyres also came on my car. Didn’t know much about them so did some research. They invariably get great reviews.
Order directly from hankook Motorsports. They last a hella long time. I run them as my normal tire on two cars. On the dedicated track car I get about 25 hours / 80-100 heat cycles before they brick.
They last a long ass time, you can overheat them but they don't get really greasy. They just kind of fall off a little and stay there until you treat them nicer.
Tried Blizzaks but went back to iPike Xs. Just can't beat studs.
I ended up buying hankook i-cept evo'2s for my winter wheels this year (they have the highest speed rating out of all the tires on simple tire.com) they are affordable and honestly I'm really impressed with them so far this winter.
Currently on 195/50 Hankook Ventus V2’s and they’ve been great. They look and perform great for a DD.
I would pick the Ecopias, they are reviewed much higher than the Kinergy tires on tire rack (but far from the best). I got the Kinergys on mine and they are ok, but if it rains they are not the best and slip easily.
I am still kind of unhappy with Hankook and I'll probably avoid this brand in future. That said, it looks like my Hankook tires with 60k treadwear warranty were worn literally to ground in less than 25k miles in 3 years.
