Tires Hankook or Toyo
Personally, I'd go with Toyo Proxies CF2's. I find they are around the right budget and still get "enough" quality without straying towards the needlessly expensive ones.
I buy Toyo Proxes. They're ~$110/tire in my car's size and last 2-3 years (18,000-27,000 miles give or take).
Back when I had an Evo 8 I was running Toyo R888s, until they became too costly to run during daily driving, so I switched to Nankang NS2Rs.
Toyo Open Country AT III are the best all around. Excellent wet road traction too compared to the others.
I just put the Toyo Open Country A/T III on my 4Runner this morning and so far digging the ride.
Toyo Celsius (note that the II version just came out recently): "What’s even more surprising is that the Toyo Celsius handles ice securely, provided you don’t push too hard."
We've got Toyo A24s on our outlander, good performance and have got 90,000 from the set.
I’m using Toyo. It was a later production date + cheaper than Continental and Dunlop.
My 2017 Beetle S came with the tires specified immediately below...Hankook Kinergy GT...Originally, tire wear appeared to be proceeding well...After the 16,000 mile service...I noticed the centers of two tires...to have lost the siping \u2013 classic over-inflation indicator...Recently at 19,000 miles I noted the front tires...had lost the center siping \u2013 again signifying over-inflation...I am not particularly surprised at the center wear as I think a load index of 95 is fairly high for this vehicle...I cannot imagine 60,000 miles for these tires.
My 2019 GLI came with the Hankook Kinergy GT. On paper it is considered a premium touring tire, but it is not very good. It is mostly dry where I live, but those things break loose at the slightest provocation - cornering, accelerating, etc. I don't know what they are like in the wet; from what I have read, they are not very good.
