Tires Hankook or FEDERAL

If we are willing to go SLIGHTLY off-size, there are Hankook Ion Evo tires. You would have to get 215/50/R17 because they technically dont offer the factory size. Good reviews, good price, efficient, and they have a rebate right now.

I have had 2 pairs of hankooks and multiple others. I think the hankooks are 90% the tire that the hakapelitas are for about half of the price.

I've had the Hankook Ion Evo AS on my SE for the last week. Much quieter than the Ventus S2 that were replaced. Really liking them so far. Same efficiency this week on my normal commute as the Ventus S2 were getting me.

45k on my ions. Probably have about 5k left. Will definitely be getting them again. They have been fantastic!

Happy to report I am now at 70,366 miles on the car, so about 28K miles have been driven on these tires. Tires are working well, with no complaints. No noise issues, they don’t seem to have gotten louder since day one. Grip is fine. Most important, unlike my OEM Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires… I’ve had no sidewall bubbles or other issues. I highly recommend these Hankook tires.

It's hard to beat the Hankook iPike. I've run them on every vehicle I've ever had...only time I've been disappointed is when I tried a different tire.

Because the RS-4 gives you tons of life and doesn't suck

I did not like the Hankooks, they were ok this winter, but very loud.

At the 30,000 mile oil change, my dealer told me my tires were bald. They are the Hankook GT tires EX 235/60R18.

I went online that minute and checked to see for how many miles the Hankook GTs EX 235/60R18 were rated for, and they are rated for 75,000.

For what it's worth, my Tiguan came with Hankook Ventus Noble 2 - GARBAGE. Honestly, screw VW for choosing the cheapest RFP'd crap. And screw Hankook for making awful, awful tires - shameful. Gone are the days of VWs being factory equipped with Michelin, Pirelli, and Bridgestone.
