I bought enkei 17s and Michelin x ice for winter. It was a lot easier to get tires and also doubles as a good rim for cheap track tires also if you want as 215 17s are pretty common
Owner reviews for tires
I’ve just installed these on my car last week! I had the potenza s001’s on before that. And I only got 8k miles out of those. They were pretty good except for driving in the wet. I could get them to spin easily. I never had that issue with the oem Bridgestones. I’ve had none of the issues you say with the vredesteins. I’ve put over 200 miles on them already. I find them to be slightly noisier than the potenzas.
You should look at Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Continental Viking Contact 7. I’ve used both on my Mini and I’ve used Nokians since I got my first Mini. Blizzak WS-90 are good.
Have been running 215/45r20 Potenza S001's on my i3s for a year or so and no wobble at all. If anything, feels more planted, and power transfer feels more immediate, though that may be my imagination.
As someone who buys Michelins for all my vehicles, I recently purchased a set of used wheels and tires for my Tundra with Chinese brand Sailun tires on them and I actually love them.
45k on my ions. Probably have about 5k left. Will definitely be getting them again. They have been fantastic!
Happy to report I am now at 70,366 miles on the car, so about 28K miles have been driven on these tires. Tires are working well, with no complaints. No noise issues, they don’t seem to have gotten louder since day one. Grip is fine. Most important, unlike my OEM Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires… I’ve had no sidewall bubbles or other issues. I highly recommend these Hankook tires.
I use these and they work. As my service advisor says, they are aggressive tires.
Jmitchelltfo said: The Hankook S1 Evo 3 is listed as an ultra high performance summer tire. I ran them on a previous car and they were mediocre at best.
I had X-ice i3’s and was really unhappy with the snow performance.
