Tires Hankook or Cooper

I bought 4 new Cooper tires and 1 of them developed a defect 6 months and 2/32 of use. Cooper tire stood behind their tire and gave me a free replacement and reimbursed me for mounting and balancing. I've purchased Cooper tires in the past and will continue to do so. They're a great AMERICAN manufacturer.

I have the Hankook ION EVO AS tires and they’ve been great for 2500 miles so far. It took about 1500 miles to break in and get the improved effeciency.

I really like Hankooks EV tire. Ion evo AS.

Both sizes are available in Hankook RS4. I've driven mine into the 40s and they're fine.

my mum has these Hankooks on her Peugeot 308 and they also seem to be okay for the price ... haven't driven much with it personally in the winter but i didn't hear her complain either

I have 15k miles on mine and love them so far. They have a 65k mile warranty

I have a pair of Cooper Discoverer tires on my Nissan. They are really quiet on the highway and very good on non-paved terrain like gravel and mud. Can’t speak for snow, don’t get a whole lot in my area. They are super tough too. I’ve screamed the side wall and nothing happened. I’ve had a nail go into the tread sideways and it didn’t puncture the tire. The only thing I will say is they pick up small debris like rocks if you spend a lot of time off road. But I would highly recommend them.

So here is my take everything is great except lifespan. But since I have tried it in different climates I can only anecdotally say maybe the heat of SoCal wore down the tires. I drive regular not aggressive on a 2022 M3LR and for the first 12,000 miles wear was 1/32 then all the sudden it lost 3/32 in 6000 miles so now I'm at 5/32 with even wear.

Only experience with OE Hancocks was on a VW Passat. Took delivery on new car and drove home from the dealer in a snow storm and it was the most severe case of white knuckle syndrome ever. The car was absolutely dangerous and scary.

That's why we call them Hancraps. One of the worst factory tires period from anyone in this day and age. Came on my 19 Platinum FX4, AT2 or ATM whatever model it was. Horrible, by far, worst wet weather traction
