Tires Hankook or FEDERAL

The Federals have been good for me the last couple of years for a budget tire, but they're really only a budget friendly tire for larger sizes.

I got the Hankook iON EVO AS tires and like them so far. Hopefully they don’t bubble on sidewall as easily as the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.

I use 165/80 r15 hankook summer tires and they are excellent, both wet and dry grip.

Back to the actual tires, so far my completely subjective take is that they are indeed quieter and smoother than the factory Bridgestone Alenzas.

I’m in Maine and my studded Hanook snow tires make my hybrid unstoppable.

Yo uso hankook, tengo un año y medio con ellas y estan a 3/4 de vida, ademas de que tienen buen agarre en curvas y lluvia, y no son tan caras como continental, estas también salen muy buenas, pero el precio es más elevado.

Hankook RS4s have my recommendation if you're not going to compete in sanctioned time attacks where prizes are on the line. I value tire longevity rather than saving one or two seconds per lap with a theoretical perfect racing line(not something that's bound to happen often).

Federal command 2.4s have been my favorite so far. Smooth center tread for good rolling and speed retention, but still have some tread on the side for banking and grind protection. Rubber compound they use is also getting softer with time/riding so they feel better the more worn in they get.

I had the Hankook Ventus V12s are a different car. Here are my thoughts:

Decent grip, soft sidewall, narrower tire for its size.

I used to run the ventus v12 and ran into the same problem. They would always wear down so fast, within two years.
