Tires Hankook or WEST LAKE
Hankook pathfinder all terrain. On my second set now 60k tire ran the first set 71k mikes. Pulls my fish house through 10”+ of snow on the lakes and quiet driving highway up to the cabin all summer. Get 18.6 mpg in my ‘13 platinum 5.0 hwy. love them!
I just replaced the factory tires on my MYLR at 36K miles with Hankook ion EV tires. So far I've got about a 1,000 miles on them and they are awesome. They are quieter than the stock Continentals and the ride is a bid smoother.
I ran the hankook ventus prime 3 for the last 3 years on my IS, next year i'm probably going with the nankang as-2+.
Seriously though, I hope an FE team bites the bullet and does a lap or two on modified slick tyres. Those cars are quite fast on that Hankook Tyre, and could be even faster on the slicks.
I got 30,000 miles out of mine (Continentals on 19" Gemini wheels on a MYP.) I replaced them with Hankook iON evo suv. Amazing tires.
Hancook great performance, better than stock and 3 times cheaper
Hankooks seem fine on my 2023 LR, decent tread depth, and grip, seem fairly quiet too.. will see about tread life.
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.
Mazda 6: Some randoms from the PO to Continental DWS. Huge improvement in road noise, which is good because I spent a while searching for the lowest road noise tires that would fit the odd stock tire size. Big traction improvement too, but that was not a surprise. No handling change otherwise.
S2000: BFG g-Force to Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 - these were cheap and horrible, but lasted forever. The weak sidewall made the car squish all over the place in any maneuver reminiscent of a lane change. Very strange behavior from the steering wheel when the car would re-center itself.
