Tires Hankook or YOKOHAMA
It'll be a huge leap over those junk Hankooks.
The only weak spot were the tires. The OEM Yokohamas inspired zero confidence so they were removed and sold. The cars is super comfortable, uses regular gas and the clutch/Shifter feel are great. LED lighting is a really nice touch as well
For a cruising around/daily tire, no spirited driving, the Yokohamas Avid-S I've put on my girlfriend's Yaris are the most amazing touring tires I've ever driven on.
Get Hankooks or Firestones if you want to save a couple of bucks, while still having a great tire.
I got a good deal on some Yokohama advan apex v601, I got like 5k miles on them and love them so far
After lots of research I went for Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tyres and am very, very happy with them.
Good ride, above average dry traction, hasn’t rained, above average mountain handling, not as quiet as Michelin or Continental at highway speed, but I got to keep some money I’d have spent otherwise.
Yokos are also a good choice and are good for more daily driving and highway driving and also last a long time
I feel that the Kinergy GT tires are mediocre at best for most conditions. Had them on our 2017 and they still had at least 4-5 32nds of tread when we turned in the lease at 38,000 miles, but at least 10k of those miles were with snow tires. I think 35-40k would be the max upper range and probably hitting the wear bars by then.
I used to run the ventus v12 and ran into the same problem. They would always wear down so fast, within two years.
