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.
Toyo RA-1 - I bought a set of these to run on wet days or when there is real threat of rain. On a dry day, especially with full tread, they don't live up to the other three tires up there. But on a cooler day, especially a slightly wet or wet one, these tires can move. I also find them the easiest of these four to recover from a slide
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.
I did, I upgraded to the Toyo Tire Open Country III A/T. Looking forward to winter ❄️
I have about 45,000 miles on a set of the Hankook DynaPro HT.
I like them a lot.
I had the Hankook Ventus V12s are a different car. Here are my thoughts:
Decent grip, soft sidewall, narrower tire for its size.
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.
