Tires Hankook or NANKANG

The factory tires were Hankook Kinergy GT 235/45R18 OE. I continue to find that these tires serve my butt and my vehicle handling, extremely well! I do not hear any disturbing noise or feel any discomfort, that is generated by The Hankook GT 245/45R18 Kinergy GT tires.

Ja uzeo Hankook na preporuku par drugara, za sada zadovoljan.

Waarom geen Hankook bijvoorbeeld? Zelf altijd erg tevreden over, en goede prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding.

Pár hónapja váltottam Hankook Kinergy 4S2-re, csak ajánlani tudom, vagy az ennél prémiumabb márkák abroncsai.

The Nankangs are good

I have the Hankooks, they seem to perform well in summer conditions. I have no previous experience with any other tire on the R to compare them to.

I averaged 2.3 mi/kWh with the stock Hankook AT2’s on my Lariat. I replaced them with the same size Hankook AT2 Xtreme’s, which is basically a slightly more aggressive version of the stock tire that’s 3-peak rated and not EV rated/low rolling resistance. It dropped me to a 2.2 mi/kWh average.

For my experience up to now, the stock Hankook Dynapro AT2 that came with my 2024 Pro4X are not as bad in snow as some peoples seems to say. So it might be year dependent, or type (I guess there's other than Dynapro AT2 being used). However they are far from being the best winter tire I got through time. For now they seems to do the job, but no heavy snow yet where I live. If they handle well though this winter I'll keep them while they last and will have to evaluate then what will be the replacement.

I'd advise against the RS4 altogether. They wear super slow but they heat cycled out after 100 runs for me. The RE71RS were still competitive at 150 runs. It's a great endurance track tire if you're looking for life, but as an autocross tire it's not actually cheaper per run and it's handling manners are generally terrible for the use.

Nankang CRS definitely is not top tier on Lincoln concrete. I'd honestly throw it below the RT660 on pace. Decent on asphalt and hot weather.
