Tires Hankook or Shinko
After almost 3000 miles with my new Hankook tires, you can see the Wh/m difference from lifetime. 228.8 vs 254.5. to me that's a significant improvement. I also like that they are a tad bit quieter.
I replaced my tires at 30k with Hankook Ion EVO AS EV tires. They are not cheap, but they are EV-rated and have good reviews.
Rs4s are the super long (ive done 24hrs on a set) lasting, heatcyle to death with almost all its tread left tyre of choice... But conti ecf last just as long and run at least 1.5s faster per lap (@ wgi).
I do endurance racing as well and the sponsored tire is the Hankook Ventus RS-4. They are a great 200TW tire for traction and durability. If you abuse it they won’t last. They are directionally treaded, but if you run in the dry it won’t matter which direction you run them, so rotating doesn’t have to be an issue. Similar to the AR-1, good lifespan for the performance at the grip levels when compared to the competition.
Kankook RS4, Khumo V730, Conti ECF, Falken RT660+ are tires I would consider on long lasting side of the performance category. I'm not sure they even make the RS4 now but there should be lots of old stock. Those tend to last so long you end up heat cycling them before burning up the rubber.
Ca alternative, recomand Hankook. Eu am de vara cu clasa A la aderență pe drum umed si 69DB ca zgomot. Sincer, își merită toți banii.
Rs4 is the answer I've ran them on the track at 30° in freezing rain and snow and I didn't die
For my experience up to now, the stock Hankook Dynapro AT2 that came with my 2024 Pro4X are not as bad in snow as some peoples seems to say. So it might be year dependent, or type (I guess there's other than Dynapro AT2 being used). However they are far from being the best winter tire I got through time. For now they seems to do the job, but no heavy snow yet where I live. If they handle well though this winter I'll keep them while they last and will have to evaluate then what will be the replacement.
Also in Colorado with 50e. Have 21-inch wheels with factory Hankook “all season” performance run flats. Just ordered a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s for winter to replace the Hankooks that perform like I’m on an ice rink with bald tires…
my wife hates the tires .the m+s is horrible in the snow.
