Tires Hankook or FEDERAL

The new Hankook V12 Evo2 is supposed to be better in terms of quietness and driveability. That may be a good buy on a budget.

I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2s for the winter and Hankook all-seasons for the summer.

Neuspeed RSe52 18x8 with 225/40/18 Hankook R-S3 (my current track setup)

I had Hankook Ventus V12s on my old IS250 after the factory Bridgestone ER33 (Now that is a $hit tire) wore out. They were great and half the cost of the ER33s.

I have Hankook IPike w203 (couple of years older model) and don't have a single complaint (very happy).

On my MK VI R I run Hanhook Icept Evo's in the winter, they are a "snow" tire winter rated and all but they are also geared towards high performance. I feel very confident in conrnrs and such when its dry unlike some snow tires that are mush and don't handle well. In a car like the R it would be a shae to use a tire that doesn't allow the car to handle well when roads are dry or just slightly wet. the Icepts are a great snow tire. I have had zero issues wit their performance on snowy surfaces especially with the AWD you can basically go WOT from a stop in the snow and have no traction issues.

I am running 17x8 +45 Neuspeed RSe05 with 245/40R17 Hankook RS-3's with no problems

I get lucky out of the blue one day and luck into a set of virtually free new take off Hankooks from another new Jetta. I ditch the Contis and put on the Hankooks. HOLY COW. Drives like the car should have from day one.

i have them on 15x8 on a 165/45 and they are by no means autocrossing tires. What they do have, is the forgiveness in treadwear so they tend to last much better than the toyo proxes that were phased out over a year ago. Now those handled great, but had a terrrible tire tread life.

Got rid of the Hankooks on my SE V6, replaced them with Michelin Primacy with a small Discount Tire trade-in allowance. Ride is maybe a little better, expansion joint thump is a little better, but noise on all but the smoothest asphalt is bad; on concrete, it's almost intolerable.
