I have really enjoyed my Toyo Versado Noir, it's a newer tire and I think it's a grand touring tire or touring if I'm not mistaken, I went 245 45r17 up from stock 235 45 and I like the beefy tires and it added a little bit of width. They're very smooth and quiet. I have never had hydroplaning issues even at 85 in heavy rain. The tires were tracking well. The only downside is traction from the power, I could break them loose with stock power and engine mounts with a dogbone insert. I'm stage 2 now and if I'm not careful I can spin tires at 30 from a roll on dry pavement. Like I said I can drive spiritedly and not have any problems, it's just the torque
My VW dealer gave me a good deal on Hankooks. They’re pretty good. No complaints here.
I ended up deciding on Hankook R-S4's. Seem like a very good, though not quite RE71r level, dry autocross tire, better in wet than dedicated dry tires, able to take the heat of a track day, livable as a daily, and supposedly wear like rocks, so I'm assuming they end up being cheaper in the long run than the federal rs-pro's, or most any other 200tw tire.
If track is becoming a priority, the grip and durability of the Hankook R-S4 us tough to beat. I just bought my second set. Ran 10 track days and 9 autocross events on a single set last year
Hankook iPikes are good!
I quit wasting my time with snow tires a decade ago. I use Hankook ALL WEATHER tires.
That’s not a bad price. I paid $1700 last year for 17” steel rims and Hankook Ipike winter tires for my fiancée’s 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee at the dealership.
When I first started autocross, I was on mismatched all seasons with different tires all around. A local autocrosser with old tires took pity on me and gifted me a set of used Toyo Proxes R1R he didn't need any more. Mind. Blown.
I had the V12s on my Subaru - were great until I had to stop in the snow. I have the V12s on my S2000 - tried to move it into the garage last year after it had started to snow and had a very difficult time getting traction.
That exact same thing happened to my 2014 CX-5 GT. Toyo's warranty is no good, they ask you to ship the tires for them to evaluate warranty claims, ended up throwing them out and getting Pirellis.
