Tires Hankook or BFGoodrich

I run Hancook snow tires on my truck that are studded and they make a difference.

Hankook Ion Evo AS SUV. The best EV “fire and forget” option, unless you need something more winter rated.

Do sada sam već odvozio set Hankook Winter I*cept RS2 i sada vozim na Winter I*cept RS3 i čisto sam zadovoljan. Bar meni gume su se odlicno pokazale po mokrom, ledenom i snijegu. Vozio po svakakvom terenu i drže se odlično.

Had an 04' wrx with BF Goodridge tires. Rotated them every 10k miles and they lasted almost 75k.

Had ko2's on my 03 outback and for the 3k miles it had them, they still looked brand new

Had a great Hankook set that had crushed walnuts embedded in the compound.

I got Hankook Tire Ion Evo AS just about 3 months ago. One thing I immediately noticed is the louder "Tire noise" but not by a lot. Totally tolerable. I just felt good that I got a good Tire for my car.

Now, 7 months in, I had a nail in my tire and I took it to Hankook tire and they fixed it for $20 or something. A day after fixing the tire, it is still loosing psi by about 12psi.

I contacted the Tire shop and got the following response: see image.

Is it normal that where I got the nail in is close to the unrepairable spot on the tire? With Michelin, i had it even closer to the edge and it was totally repairable and losted the full lifetime.

The tire shop showed me the repair by removing the tire and I can see that the repair was done very professionally. However, the angle of the nail was bad that I have to get a new tire.

Man... I'll say Michellin is quieter but wears out faster. Next time I would just get whatever is cheaper.

I have the Hankook Winter i*cept Evo³ (non-X) and on ice, they don't do great. Dry, snow and wet is great though.

My 2023 ford explorer has them on it from stock with 23k miles and they are very noisy and they do not handle well at any speed

My 2023 model 3 LR came with Hankook Kinergy GT M&S tires. Based on the tire rack reviews I think they are almost identical to the Hankook Ion tires. 

If so. My experience with the Kinergy tires was not great. While they were super efficient (lifetime average 246wh/mile) they gave up early on spirited cornering on both dry and wet pavement (might be the difference between avoiding a potential accident). They are adequate in winter driving. Where the were outright dangerous was hydroplaning.
