Tires Hankook or DUNLOP

If cost is an issue, the more economical street tire you can get that has solid track performance is the Hankook RS4. They last forever and are a great tire to learn on.

eu am avut Hankook kynergy 4s fara probleme pe zapada.

I’m at 220k. About 150k were all pilot sports. The ion evos made an immediate impact in sound and efficiency. These are what I will be going forward with on my vehicles from now on.

Just got the Hankook iON ht installed on my Rivian, as of today, there are five different options for the 21-in Wheels: Michelin Defender LTX M/S2, Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Elect, Bridgestone Alenza Prestige, Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 G018 (all terrain), Hankook iON HT The Yokohama are the only all-terrain option the rest are all season. I personally went with Hankook because of the deal I got and the 80,000 mi warranty.

I had the Hankook ION EV A/S when they first came out on my 2022 Model 3 RWD. Some things to note; Tires lasted just above their tread depth (40K) with rotations every 7K miles, alignment once a year, PSI set to 42 on cold Tires got LOUD as F the last 20K miles before they were worn fully. Like so loud you would think one was flat, but this is stupidly common on all Hankooks I have ever owned even on other vehicles Wh/mi was amazing, average over lifetime was 228Wh/mi during summer, and as low as 175s during winter (in Phoenix AZ)

My 23 had the Hankook OEM tires when I bought it new and changed them with about 45K I believe and they still had tread but one had a slow leak. I consider myself an “aggressive” driver and I only rotated them once in the time. The tech that did it in the parking lot at my office said they didn’t even need rotating. The wear was very even. I went with the Michelin and they are no where near as good as the Hankook. They are worse in wet and dry traction. They howl if there is any hard braking and break loose easily on wet pavement. The Hankooks were also great in the snow (Chicago area) driving 70 miles round trip to the office and back. Very unhappy that I switched. The Hankooks seemed to start getting loud but they wore perfectly even. I will definitely be switching back when the time comes in a year or so. If the Michelins suck in the snow, I’ll bite the bullet and switch back to the Hankooks right away.

MY choice was Hankook. Not the cheapest but not complete junk either.

Imao 2 puta. Not bad ALI...bolje od njih su ti Hankook Kinergy (zadnja serija) i Goodyear Vector 3.

My 2023 model 3 LR came with Hankook Kinergy GT M&S tires. Based on the tire rack reviews I think they are almost identical to the Hankook Ion tires. 

If so. My experience with the Kinergy tires was not great. While they were super efficient (lifetime average 246wh/mile) they gave up early on spirited cornering on both dry and wet pavement (might be the difference between avoiding a potential accident). They are adequate in winter driving. Where the were outright dangerous was hydroplaning.

It’s definitely the crap tires. Same on my ‘25 Rogue. Bought with my 3 miles of test drive on 1/3/25… now at 18k hwy miles the tread wear indicators are showing. I think they will need replaced at 20k.

In contrast - 2 of them were slashed at 1k miles. I replaced those two with Goodyear MaxLife. 17k miles later, the Dunlops are almost gone, the Goodyears show little to no wear whatsoever.

Dunlop Grandtek PT21’s are TOTAL CRAP.
