Tires Hankook or Nexen

Hankook K435 Kinergy. Fantastic for what it costs

The Nexens without a second thought... Those N'Fera SU1 tires are excellent tires and Nexen has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry.

I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.

I have the nexens on my golf R and they are perfectly serviceable winter tires. Would buy them again no problem

If endurance consistency and value are what you're looking for, it's Hankook rs4. Slower than the ecf but similar tires, cheaper and more tread life

We ran those Nexens for a few years on a Ford Focus RS AWD in winter and it's a solid tire... The Michelin is a better tire especially on ice, but for $150 less I would take the Nexens again. This is in ND, so winters can get pretty extreme and they perform well.

Just got the Hankook iON EVO AS SUV on my 23 LR Y. The car came with the Goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 5 and they always seemed noisy and not super comfortable. After a couple days of driving with the hankooks I can definitely say they are MUCH more smooth and comfortable than the Goodyears. Yes I know I only have a few days on them so far but very impressive so far.

I currently have a set of nexen hp 265/35/r22 102v on my truck and 2 of the tires are splitting in the sidewalls..but I've had them almost 7 years and the tread still holding strong. Smooth ride its just the two with sidewall splitting

Hankook are Korean garbage, Goodyear are very mediocre. If you live in a warm area they are fine but if you need quality check for other brands.

I upgraded to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AS at 6,000 miles. Money extremely well spent. The car feels like it’s on rails now. getting rid of those kinergys was a must. Terrible tire
