For those in the market for new tires I just put a set of the Hankook ion evo tires on the X and they are INCREDIBLE. Before throwing these tires on I was definitely of the "there's no way these foam tires are going to make a differnce" school of thought. I'm a believer.
Hankook Winter i*cept RS for 128€/tyre is reasonable and work well in snow.
I’m quite impressed by how these tires perform on wet roads even with how aggressive they are compared to other similarly aggressive all terrains like the BFGoodrich KO2 that I used to have. They also have a pretty good 70K mile warranty which is pretty great!
I really like Hankook tires. I've had no problem with traction and acceleration with my MYP with the Hankook ION Evos.
Hankook K435 Kinergy. Fantastic for what it costs
The winter sw606 are actually really good winter tires. Somebody mentioned Florida so maybe that's where you are, but I'm in canada and I'm on my third set of westlake winter tires lol they're boss for snow.
If endurance consistency and value are what you're looking for, it's Hankook rs4. Slower than the ecf but similar tires, cheaper and more tread life
They are pretty hard tires. Loud, slip in the rain if you give it enough gas, don't feel as solid in a corner. But you'll get better gas mileage on them than a sport tire and they will take much longer to wear out.
After 2K miles i could not stand the road noise anymore. I upgraded my tires and what a difference it was. that annoying road noise disappeared and grip got a lot better.
I don't think they're overly noisy but don't think they're very grippy. I'm actively avoiding running the car in the rain from the hydroplaning posts and dismal Tire Rack ratings - which is kind of ridiculous.
