Tires MICHELIN or Hankook
i'm getting slightly better at ~10000 miles with 2.3mi/kWh. i have the 116/119 version installed and they are essentially still new at 14/32 last i checked but i'm at 62psi cold. these tires have a max inflation of 50psi if you're also on the 116/119 version, so 50psi is too low FYI
I just got 20” Defender LTX M/S2’s on my R1T, absolutely love them. I got 30k out of the Pirelli’s so I really hope to get at least 40 or 50k out of these.
Personally, I have the Michelin Pilot and can attest to how incredibly awesome they are. Stick to the road like glue and significant road noise reduction over the factory crap Acura puts on it's cars.
I have done 5 seasons on Michelin X-Ice on GD STi and cannot recommend highly enough.
The Michelin Defender tires have settled in well. As you can see, I’m getting significantly better efficiency now that the tires have a few thousand miles on them. 6000 miles in and they are down to 10 mm on tread. Factory tread is 11 mm so I’m very happy with the wear so far. Especially considering the Pirellis only lasted 23k miles. Picture 3, with 12,000 miles is the last 12,000 mile efficiency rating on the Pirelli’s. Picture 2 is the first 3000 miles on the Michelins. I am shocked to see the difference, as I was expecting a loss of efficiency with the Defenders. The data is trending and showing they are in fact a better efficiency tire vs the factory Pirellis. 50 cold psi is a must IMO.
The Michelin LTX aren’t much to look at, but they have tons of those little sipes in there and make for a low-key snow tire in my experience. Also sound good on the highway
Am Hankook de 5 ani pe mașina. Sunt foarte ok
Am Hankook și nu am avut nici o problema nici pe gheata, la zăpadă nu mai zic. Anul trecut, in cele 2 zile cu zăpadă din București, nu cauciucurile au fost problema, ci faptul că mașina era prea joasa și mergeam mai mult "pe burta". Chiar și așa, am trecut peste niste grămezi de zăpadă ce erau mai sus decât bara fata, așa că dpdv aderenta, recomand cu toată încrederea!
I’m looking to replace my stock summers (Hankook) with Conti extreme contacts. Does anyone know if I can go with a slightly bigger sidewall while staying with the 19” rim? My ultimate goal is to increase ride quality.
I have just about 9100 miles on my 2024 Golf R, purchased just over a year ago. The car just went through PA Stat inspectio, after which the service tech told me the tires are at 4/32. It passed the inspection but there’s not much left on the tires. The car as new came with Hankook Venus S1 evo 3 tires. It seems almost unbelievable to me that I may only get 10,000 miles out of these tires.
