Tires Hankook or WEST LAKE
I replaced my GT summer tires with the Hankooks and couldn’t be happier. I went through this last mild winter in the pacific northwest with no issues. Good grip in light snow and heavy rain. Low noise and great handling with my sometimes overly aggressive driving.
I started with the khumos on a wind AWD, have the hankook’s now. The hankooks are way better in standing water/rain, and are stiffer overall. This leads to a little more road vibration but is not a major complaint. The khumos also wore out faster. Efficiency wise the hankooks are very very close but slightly less
I have the hankook's on 20's. Expensive. No issues.
Used Westlake on Hyundai Tucson. Lasted 7 years. No problems.
I have the hankooks- they’re awesome. Will be buying again when they wear out. Had them about a year now and no issues. Way better in rain than the alenzas. My range went up with the hankooks.
I have no idea about the Kumhos, but I have the Hankooks. They're nice and quiet, although I feel like they're a bit more firm as a tire compared to the Alenzas it came with.
In average, max sustained, and peak db level in the cabin, the Hankooks were anywhere between .5 db and 2.5 db quieter than the Scorpions.
I had Yokohama and Arrivo tires, now I'm using Westlake. Okay naman yang three. Comment ko lang sa Arrivo is naninipisan ako sa sidewall, compared sa other two.
At the 30,000 mile oil change, my dealer told me my tires were bald. They are the Hankook GT tires EX 235/60R18.
I went online that minute and checked to see for how many miles the Hankook GTs EX 235/60R18 were rated for, and they are rated for 75,000.
For what it's worth, my Tiguan came with Hankook Ventus Noble 2 - GARBAGE. Honestly, screw VW for choosing the cheapest RFP'd crap. And screw Hankook for making awful, awful tires - shameful. Gone are the days of VWs being factory equipped with Michelin, Pirelli, and Bridgestone.
