I’m a fan of hankook dynapro. Quiet on the highway, but has enough tread to function in the mud.
Nexen, riken (made by Michelins), Hankook are all budget friendly made by good brands.
The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 is an all-weather tire with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Not only that, but it is an exceptionally good tire, with not only excellent snow and ice traction, but excellent dry and wet too.
There are Hankook RS4s, and then there are all other tires that cost more, need to be replaced more often, and are slightly faster. Best bang for the buck tire, I'm on my fifth set.
I use Hankook RS4s because endurance 200TW tires are cost effective. I can run them on my VN for at least an entire season and then some. It's gotten a bit chilly and there so the grip in colder weather is lacking if you're pushing it.
RS4 are a great all around track day tire. They wear fantastic, don't get really greasy and are predictable.
I find the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo just as grippy as the PS4S but much cheaper. However, the ride quality suffers.
July of 2020 built LR Y with 34k miles and its been great. Definitely by far the best car I've owned. My 1st year I only drove it 7k miles, but then I bought a house 35 miles from my work and ended up putting on 27k miles in the last year.
My 1 and only complaint is it chews through tires, I replaced the factory set at around 20k miles, and 5k of those miles were on snow tires and they were rotated religiously. I've adjusted my driving habits a little (I have a heavy right foot, lol) and I think I might get 30k miles out of my current set.
I have the Hankook Kynergy GT's on mine. They have been fine on dry roads even when pushing it in the corners. On wet roads, as others have said, not so much. I just take it easy when it's wet.
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.
