Tires Hankook or NITTO

I use 165/80 r15 hankook summer tires and they are excellent, both wet and dry grip.

I have them on mine. They grip pretty well, and good for daily/street.

I have them and like them. I am not a mudder, but they work well for me in snow and what limited ice I have driven on. They are not very loud thankfully.

The on road behavior is better on the ridge than the Terra. Tread pattern is different, but equally aggressive.

I've been very happy with my Nittos. In Australia, used on a work 4wd that does roughly 90% on-road, 10% access tracks.

I’ve ran g2’s since 2014ish. I’ll never own another tire. They perform well, last up to and OVER the 60k warranty, ride well and look great. I recommend them to everyone.

Back to the actual tires, so far my completely subjective take is that they are indeed quieter and smoother than the factory Bridgestone Alenzas.

Ran them on my S60 back in the day, pretty much exactly what I expected for the price. Only complaint was tread wear, but for a commuting daily they will give you plenty of life.

Has anybody experienced dry rot with the factory Hankook Kinergy GT tires that came equipped with the 16" Torontos (In MY 2017 at least)? All four tires have these cracks along the outer channels. 16k miles, 8/32" tread depth remaining. 4 years old.

I have 4 on my GLI and I doubt they will last 35,000 km. I took them off and put on my winters at 25K and they don't look like they will last much longer. I don't drive my car hard at all. Last winter, with 5000 to 7000 km on them, I could barely move in a parking lot with 10 cm of snow.
