Tires Hankook or Kumho

The next tires i plan on getting are Kuhmos. I had some on a '16 GLI that were very quiet and rode great.

Can't comment on loudness as the S2000 is just plain loud, but have run these on the S2000 in both the earlier V12 and later Evo2 variety. pretty happy with them for a street tire, stable in the rain, predictable, and they seem to wear well (S2000's eat rear tires every 10k anyway on proper alignment specs).

i had them on my A6. I thought they were pretty good. would buy again.

I used to run them on my S60R and really liked them. For the price they were decent. Not quite as quiet or grippy as some more expensive tires, but they've been my go-to for "slightly cheaper" tires for a while.

About 800 miles on mine (2018 GSW S 4mo). Can only echo what others have said. Excellent dry traction, excellent in the rain, and based on limited snow darn good there as well! Very quiet with a firm, connected feel.

The 31" Hankook Rw11's have been fantastic in the snow.

I would purchase Kumho tires (and I have and was very happy) before I purchased Laufenn.

When the insurance finally ran out and it was time to change tires, I went for a different brand, Hankook all seasons and never had any blow out since then. I have 179k miles on the car and has been replacing it with the same brand since then and not once had a blowout . And I've hit major potholes too.

i had the kumho asx in 18" first on my rabbit then transferred to my gti. with them being new on the rabbit, they were great in the dry and wet. after about 18k miles and transferred to the gti, they were great in the dry and wet until tuned. stage 1 was fine but with stage 2 the dry grip was just not there. right when you need traction the most from 4.5k to 6k in second gear the tires just spun. dry traction grip was improved after switching back to the goodyear eagle of the same size. also the road noise got loud as hell.

VW used the Hankook Optimo tires in Canada as the OEM tire on our Golf Sportwagen. One of the worst performing tire I've ever owned.
