Tires Hankook or WEST LAKE
I’m using the non EV ones as Michelin replacements and they’re great. Just a slight range hit and a bit noisier than OEM.
On the other hand, I had a set of Westlake tyres on my Grand, cheap and Chinese but they're well know to be tough as nails, lots of the mining companies out in the bush here run them on their work utes etc
It's a very quiet all-season with a 70,000 mile estimated life expectancy according to Discount Tire.
The Hankook tyres also came on my car. Didn’t know much about them so did some research. They invariably get great reviews.
Order directly from hankook Motorsports. They last a hella long time. I run them as my normal tire on two cars. On the dedicated track car I get about 25 hours / 80-100 heat cycles before they brick.
They last a long ass time, you can overheat them but they don't get really greasy. They just kind of fall off a little and stay there until you treat them nicer.
Tried Blizzaks but went back to iPike Xs. Just can't beat studs.
I ended up buying hankook i-cept evo'2s for my winter wheels this year (they have the highest speed rating out of all the tires on simple tire.com) they are affordable and honestly I'm really impressed with them so far this winter.
I had the Hankook Ventus V12s are a different car. Here are my thoughts:
Decent grip, soft sidewall, narrower tire for its size.
In the Northeast through a TERRIBLE winter with 4 Nor'easters in as many weeks the car was awesome even on the dodgy stock Hankook all seasons.
