Tires Hankook or Goodyear

I have 225s (Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT) and one of mine tipped over while changing tires and it got a scuff on it. Would have been worse with 205s.

Hankook RF-10 for anything truck wise. Quiet ride and excellent grip and wear in all conditions.

I have only ever used the Ventus V12 Evo2 tires. They were the exact opposite - tread lasted far longer than I expected. Had to replace them due to age, not mileage / tread.

I have 4 Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 on one of my cars and they are awesome tires. They are now nearing 2 years old and have done over 40k Km on them and they still have at least 30% thread left before hitting the thread marker.

My trailer had some junk "D" load rated tires that I replaced with "E" load rated Goodyear's and I saw improvement in handling and fuel economy.

I recommend the Goodyear Eagle GT. It was a much better performer than the Continentals that came with the car and they handled well in the rain.

I had GY Duratracs on my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For the most part I really liked them. Not sure I would say that if they didn't see some offroad though because they were pretty noisy at highway speeds. In the snow and ice, they were amazing. Best tires I've ever had in that type of weather. Also did quite well in mud. The sidewalls were too soft for me to feel comfortable in the rocks though.

We have Duratracs on our LR3 and they have performed very well for us. They are just now getting noisier but have a lot of miles on them. Snow traction is really good, we've gone up hilly unplowed driveways with them and they went through it with no problem.

I have taken 3 tires to track events on my R: Dunlop ZII Star Specs, Bridgestone RE71R and Michelin PSS. I also ran version 1 Hankook RS3 tires on my BMW for both HPDE and autocross events. ZII Star Specs: excellent tread life (9-10 HPDE days @ ~2 hours track time/day), very good dry traction, good wet traction, wide temperature range RE71R: fair tread life (5 HPDE days), excellent dry traction, good wet traction, wide temperature range PSS: I used these for one event as a rain tire as my expectation is that they will not tolerate the sustained heat that a dry session will produce. Good dry traction, excellent wet traction, limited temperature range RS3: very good dry traction, unknown wet traction, limited temperature range; i.e.: they need lots of heat before they get sticky (craptastic for autoX) If I had to pick one tire for HPDE events, it would be the ZII's and that is what is currently on my car. Tires cost money and I value tread life over outright performance and the wear characteristics make the Dunlops about half the cost of the Bridgestones. If someone else is buying my tires, then I'll go with the RE71R's. For autocross use only in a street tire class, then the RE71R's, no question. i have not tried the BFG Rival or Rival S, but based on friends experiences I would expect them to be somewhat similar to the ZII and RE71R, respectively.

My experience with Goodyear is as an SA with BMW and VW. For a "high-quality" tire, they seemed to wear out fast and give unwanted vibrations sooner.
