Tires Hankook or Cooper

after looking online to see what the best bang for the buck *appears* to be, the Cooper Discoverer All-Terrain for $114/each is a pretty bangin' deal. I haven't loved Cooper's wet traction historically but they've made big strides in the past few years about catching up with that.

They're great for comfort and noise.

I swapped the original Michelin tires for Hankook iON evo AS tires, and I’m here to tell you how it went. The tires are quieter. I can confirm this - I actually thought there was something wrong with the car after they were installed. The vehicle does seem to handle better. We beat projected arrival in Chattanooga by over 12% battery.

I like Cooper tires but any brand listed here works great

I've seen some good comments about the Hankook Ions

The Cooper tires I have owned all gave good value. And they were hands-down the best tires I have ever owned for wet conditions.

The Evolution MTs are great unless you’re doing hardcore rock-crawling, since the sidewalls aren’t quite as strong as the more expensive MTs like the KM3s, etc. The Coopers are also the lightest MT I’ve seen, which is a plus.

I’ve had coopers before and have been very pleased with them

I noticed a decrease in MPGs once I replaced them on my 2018

My 2019 GLI came with the Hankook Kinergy GT. On paper it is considered a premium touring tire, but it is not very good. It is mostly dry where I live, but those things break loose at the slightest provocation - cornering, accelerating, etc. I don't know what they are like in the wet; from what I have read, they are not very good.
