Tires Hankook or GENERAL TIRE

I have the RT43 on my Lexus ES300 - time for replacement, if the RT45 a worthy replacement? The RT43's are great with drowning road noise and that's my main decision point aside from safety of course.

You will gain a few percent and the handling is similar or perhaps slightly better.

Efficiency is as good, if not slightly better than the procontacts and much quieter. Not sure about wet traction as it hasn’t rained since I put them on but folks say the rain grip is good, better than the procontacts.

I love my General G Max tires

My experience on the NiroEV swapping to Hankook Kinergy 4S2 All-Weather tires has been positive. I trust Hankook with my life on their tires.

The Hankook Ion Evo AS SUV tires that come on the GT-Line are one of the top EV tires that are available right now.

For what its worth, when I purchased a CPO RX350 from the Lexus dealership it came with Hankook Dynapro HP2 and has a H speed rating. The tires were replaced as part of the CPO process. If the speed rating is good enough for Lexus its good enough for me.

Mid range brands that are decent but relatively cheap are General and Cooper.

I don't really like them. They slip in the rain or dirty roads.
