Tires Hankook or MRF

These are the OEM set on my 24 LR RWD. I’ve liked them. Super quiet when new. I think the foam has separated inside one of the tires because I have a very slight vibration at highway speeds. I rotate at the recommended intervals and at 33k miles have about 5/32-6/32 left.

I’m still on my hankook ion evos — probably my favorite tires. I did notice that having them rotated every 3k miles is better than the suggested 6250 to make sure the tread is wearing evenly. I forget when exactly I got them mileage wise, but I’m still around 5-6/32nds and it’s been a year. I also floor it a ton (22 long range with boost). Not noisy.

I have these and so far they are good. I think Im at 24k miles and they are nowhere near replacement. The stock tires were around 225wh per mile and these are giving me 218wh per mile (averaged over thousands of miles) Noise is always subjective abit - tires get nosier the more they wear - so any new tires will be immediately noticeable. Im not sure I buy into the whole sound deadening material stuff.

The Toyo GSI and Hankook I-Pike are both very good performers at better prices. The cheap Chinese tires might be ok for the first season or so, but they fall off very quickly as they wear.

I have had them for 3 winters on a Corolla and found them very good for snow, and decent for ice albeit not quite as good as Blizzaks or Hakkapellitas on ice. They ride quietly and have decent tread wear ratings.

After 22,000 miles, my stock Pirelli’s were down to 2/32” and desperately needed to be replaced. I ordered the Hankooks based on a recommendation from a user here from SimpleTire. They already feel 1000x better than the worn ones they replaced. They also look a little more rugged than the Pirellis and I really like the overall look of them on the Riv.

The OEM Hankooks (on my 24') go full slip and slide mode if there's a drop of water on the road anywhere within 3 miles.

I can turn the "heavy steering" wheel with two pinched fingers and just my wrist when driving. It's not a big deal.

Diff breather mod.

Check the rain channels on the roof for cracking paint. Dealer should fix that as it's considered a workmanship warranty, else you can apply clear coat to the spots yourself to seal them when it inevitably cracks again.

If a leaf ever gets under the moulding/gasket around the windshield it can and will sound like your front speakers are crackling and dying when driving past 60 MPH and make your blood pressure go up trying to figure out what the hell is making that noise.

'24 Golf R that came with Hankooks. Just hit 14k miles and they're still going with about 4/32nd's left. Definitely getting louder as the tread goes lower. Overall, not terrible tires but don't have a lot of feel and grip is reasonable.

Same issue with my Skoda Rapid. Got it replaced immediately at Ekkatuthangal MRF on a pro rata basis.

Same issue with my virtus. Got replaced tyre under warranty
