Tires Hankook or NITTO

I use Hankook RS4s because endurance 200TW tires are cost effective. I can run them on my VN for at least an entire season and then some. It's gotten a bit chilly and there so the grip in colder weather is lacking if you're pushing it.

RS4 are a great all around track day tire. They wear fantastic, don't get really greasy and are predictable.

I find the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo just as grippy as the PS4S but much cheaper. However, the ride quality suffers.

Can only speak for the nittos personally, but they are a good tire imo. Can never go wrong with a nitto.

Ridge grapplers. I was amazed how quiet they are for 37s, I’ve got about 10k on mine now and they still look new, cool looking tread.

Have 2 other buddies running the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 35” and they are a really nice looking tire and so far getting great milage out of them as well.

I had the ridge grapplers and I loved them. Very quiet tire that’s supposedly supposed to last around 40k miles! I only used it in loose sand and no muddy terrain but I was content.

I had NeoGens on a G35 Coupe and liked them ok. Continentals are better IMO.

The GTI comes stock with some pretty bad all seasons (225/40R-18 Hankook Ventos S1 Noble 2). That has got to be one of the most mind boggling decisions because if you’re going for a GTI, you’re probably looking for something “sporty” so why have garbage tires as standard?

My 2019 GLI came with the Hankook Kinergy GT. On paper it is considered a premium touring tire, but it is not very good. It is mostly dry where I live, but those things break loose at the slightest provocation - cornering, accelerating, etc. I don't know what they are like in the wet; from what I have read, they are not very good.
