Tires Hankook or BFGoodrich

So 5 thousand miles ago (at 50K miles) I finally replaced those Bridgestones with the Hankooks because they were the only ones that I could find that seemed to check all the boxes; that said, it was a huge gamble as I'd never tried Hankooks before on any vehicle and knew virtually nothing about them.

And wow did it pay off. I think I measured that interior sound levels have dropped about 5 dB at 70 mph (from 70 dB to 65 dB); ride comfort is extraordinarily improved to the point that it feels like a newer build Model Y with their improved suspension (I know because I've rented them via Hertz a few times); and crucially -- and this is coming from somewhat of a tire geek here -- I have never, ever experienced such astonishing hydroplaning resistance before. During our recent California storm (Feb 2024) I had the chance to drive through absolutely bucketing, torrential conditions on the freeway, and standing water that would have previously turned our car into a boat were carved through like an icebreaker ship through, er, ice. Or a hot knife through butter. Whatever.

And yes, best of all, our (still inexplicably dismal) range has jumped a whopping 34% or so on average, from about 145 mi to about 195 mi

Just swapped out my stock conti’s for the hankook evo SUV on my model Y; very happy with them. They’re quiet, smooth and responsive.

I got the Hankook Ion Evo AS installed for $1,150. They are really quiet and have a lot more grip in corners than the Michelins my M3 came with. I also like them more for snow.

These tires last around 60000km on my Tacoma.

Overhyped, I manage a tire shop, get some bf Goodrich k02’s better quality, longer tread life, and more durable.

I use Hankook Kinergy, I think they’re the K425, on my Prius-c., have for years and won’t buy anything else. You don’t necessarily need the higher end tires. I live in PA so we get every weather condition you can think of and my tires hold up well.

Im running BFGoodrich advantage control on my 2016. They are a sister company to Michelin, so you'll be getting the same good quality you normally get with them. When it comes to snow, I'm comfortably able to drive through 5-6 inches of snow and have had zero issues in the rain.

One review says it's quiet, but the other review says it's loud:

2018 Accord EX-L here. At 50K, replaced OEM Hankooks with Michelin Premier A/S tires. Side note: tech trash talks Hankook while writing up the service order. On the way home, I notice the ride quality has improved significantly.

Summary: avoid Hankook tires

Hankook makes some of the cheapest crappiest tires. There was an issue with premature wear on the Explorers. Michelin is better but not hugely better. I'd use Continental DWS06 any day of the week.
