Tires Hankook or Continental

I have Hankook Winter I*Pikes in 225/60R16 XL (102 load rating, I think) on my 2003EV. They have worked well for me.

I've been very impressed with the EV's performance in the snow. I'm running 15" Continental ContiWinter Contact snow tires, and use them year-round since I don't put many miles on during the summer months.

Knowing this, and having been uninspired by Michilen X-Ices I tried out Continentals Extreme Winter contacts last year. They have about 80-90% of the traction of the Bridgestones, but their compond wears longer, doesn't feel as squirmy as the softer Bridgestones. They even feel pretty good when its dry out.

I have 245/45 18 Hankook Ventus S1 rated XL 100V. no problems Tire Rack.

nowadays, the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 can t be beat if price/performance/longevity have to be taken into account i can get 4x 245-40-17 for less than 400 bucks and they'll be at my door in a day from tirerack

Got a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW tires a few months ago.. great tires and highest ranked on Tire Rack.

I replaced my tires with some Continental ExtremeContact DW's in that size today and I'm very happy with them.

For winter I'm running Conti DWS on 17's and they've performed well. In snow my only limitation has been ground clearance.

The GTI would have performed much better on the summer tires, those all-seasons really are terrible.

I would not buy Hankook or Kumho again, personally... not for daily-driver tires anyway.
