Tires Hankook or Cooper

My best experiences have been with Hankook I-pike studless snows. I'd be willing to bet that they could hang with or out perform some of the pricier options listed here. They are great when roads are wet too.

Hankook Ice Pike's are the best all around snow tire that have used. Wear, road noise and dry handling were much better than Bridgestone's, and any of the others that I have tried over the years. No perceivable loss in snow traction on a TSX wagon under normal snow conditions.

I have the copper xrs and so far they seem pretty good

Wears like iron, just like the R-S3, but doesn't need as much heat to work. I can leave the sprayer at home and just ignore them.

It'll be a huge leap over those junk Hankooks.

only have about 5k miles on my Coopers but they sound and feel awesome.

I have Cooper Discos on my 2500 and have no complaints about them. My area is very dry and I don't take the diesel off road so I can't speak to that aspect but they handle regular driving quite well and do not protest with the hauling and towing I do.

I have the Cooper Disco3, had a regular version on the jeep and now the XLT on my truck.

Great in snow, studdable is neat but never felt the need to.

Poor in mud once it’s worn down but so is any tire. I get good fuel mileage with them and overall very happy with durability and road manners.

I feel that the Kinergy GT tires are mediocre at best for most conditions. Had them on our 2017 and they still had at least 4-5 32nds of tread when we turned in the lease at 38,000 miles, but at least 10k of those miles were with snow tires. I think 35-40k would be the max upper range and probably hitting the wear bars by then.

In the Northeast through a TERRIBLE winter with 4 Nor'easters in as many weeks the car was awesome even on the dodgy stock Hankook all seasons.
