Tires Hankook or BRIDGESTONE

If you want the best snow tires get blizzacks they are by far the best out there.

The Toyo GSI and Hankook I-Pike are both very good performers at better prices. The cheap Chinese tires might be ok for the first season or so, but they fall off very quickly as they wear.

Ws 90s are nice

Everyone has their own favorite brand. I've only ever driven Honda cars and over the years I've had General Altimax Arctic, Michelin X-ice, and Bridgestone Blizzak. Of those my favorite are the Blizzak, but the difference between the brands are not that big.

I have had them for 3 winters on a Corolla and found them very good for snow, and decent for ice albeit not quite as good as Blizzaks or Hakkapellitas on ice. They ride quietly and have decent tread wear ratings.

After 22,000 miles, my stock Pirelli’s were down to 2/32” and desperately needed to be replaced. I ordered the Hankooks based on a recommendation from a user here from SimpleTire. They already feel 1000x better than the worn ones they replaced. They also look a little more rugged than the Pirellis and I really like the overall look of them on the Riv.

Bridgestone Blizzaks have served our Outback well.

Mine came with the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 rubber. Only had them for little over 100 miles before switching out to Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3. No opinion on the Hankooks due to limited mileage, other than they seemed OK.

2017 EP422+ last long and very noisy compared to defenders

I decided to try a set of Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 because they were suppose to have the foam inside the tires to have less road noise and performance while close to that of PS4S. Boy was I wrong, they weren't that quiet, and the sidewall was soft but made the car super bouncy. Felt like I was driving on some balloon tires for some reason.
