Tires Hankook or Nokia

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.

If its one thing to NEVER be stingy on, is winter tires, especially in Norway. I've never even heard about these tier makers and I find it sus. Go for nokian hakkapeliitta, it's a brand driven and tested in nordic countries for decades. More pricy? Yes, definitely, quality is high and they know their stuff. But sure, buy some cheap made Chinese made tiers that will be worn out by the end of the year and probably serve you shit to nothing in terms of safety when its needed.

Check finn if better tires are to expensive for you. I just bought a set of 2 year old Nokian studded for 2000kr. Just stay away from cheap tires all together and don't buy used tires older than 4 year old unless you know what you're getting.

I always buy the nokian winters. They never fail to impress me.

Tiguan 17” steelies, et38 6.5w. I might have went a little too nuts and ceramic coated them, metal valve stems, greased weights/stems for anti corrosion, ordered Transporter T4 Lug-covers from EU and put Nokian R5 Hakkapelittas on

Hankook Ion Evo A/S SUV 255 40r 20 just installed. Replacing Oem Goodyear F1 at 50,600 miles. So we will see

The problem is that Nokian tires, which used to be very good before 2017, have had a tremendous fall in quality.

I had a set of Ones on my Civic for a short period but swapped them to Continental True Contact Tour 54 instead as they had some very weird vibration and wandering issues.
