Tires Hankook or Kumho

Here’s an update on the Hankook tires. They are notably more efficient than the Pirellis. My daily commute was showing an average energy use of 285 Whr/mile pretty consistently. For the past month, it is now at 235 Whr/mile. This is in addition to being notably quieter over most road surfaces.

Slower but vastly more durable tire > outright pace for an 8 hour enduro. And the answer to that is, as always, Hankook RS4.

That's about as quiet as you'll get before going to a street tire. I have hankook dynapro at on one jeep and they seem a little quieter but they're also on a quieter jeep.

The falkens are pretty quiet though on my other jeep.

I’m running Hancook Kinenergy 4s2 on mine. 18R 9.5 W 245 45.

High performance, All Weather, rated W around $900 for a full set. They grip nice, great in the snow and water too

I had good experience with Kumho as affordable tyre option

Hankook Kinergy’s. I’ve never had a budget tire that gripped as well as they.

Solid performance in wet, snow, and dry conditions, very minimal tire noise.

my Frontier's 18" OEM Hankook AT's lasted over 5 years and 63k I don't think I rotated them once

One review says it's quiet, but the other review says it's loud:

That’s probably the number 1 thing I research when I buy tires now, I hate the loud hum some tires get as they wear. I’ve had two sets of Kumhos and I won’t be buying a third.

Only experience with OE Hancocks was on a VW Passat. Took delivery on new car and drove home from the dealer in a snow storm and it was the most severe case of white knuckle syndrome ever. The car was absolutely dangerous and scary.
