Tires Hankook or OEM BMW

Hankook Kinergy 4S² H750 sind die geilsten Allwetterreifen die ich bis jetzt fahren konnte. Unschlagbar bei Nässe, Schnee auch keine Probleme und das wichtigste, bei Trockener Fahrbahn kannst du damit sogar über den Ring ballern.

I went for Hankook Synergy 4s. Good price vs performance and no issues on my Countryman.

Yes, I had the Hankook New Englander 205/55R16H for about 4 years on my Mazda 5, and they had just over 60k miles on them. I liked them enough to buy the same thing again. I'm in Massachusetts and they feel great in all kinds of New England weather. I do a lot of driving to work including highway and city. They are grippy in rain, snow, sleet and every combination even at highway speeds. I did get a bulge in the sidewall and kept driving them the last 5-10k or so, even though I knew better. (Don't do this even though it never popped on me.) There was still a little wear left on them, but you have to replace a tire with a bulged sidewall, so I got all 4.

I love my Hankook Ions, my MYP had the Pirelli Pzeros as my original set.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the road noise and how much quieter the drive is.

I’ve had both and the biggest difference I saw was the range hit. I was the sole driver so no difference in driving style - MPS AS4’s were 10% worse. Loved them but would go with the Hankooks were I to do it again.

The Hankooks are slightly softer absorbing a smidge more of the road. Noise difference between the 2 isn't noticeable at all. The Hankooks are slightly more efficient, lifetime on the Michelins is 306whm and the Hankooks are 297whm(tracked via TeslaMate).

So my OEM Hankook tires, inflated normally to 40psi were wearing down on the edges of the tire. The look of the tire is amazing. Completely changes the look of the truck. The tires didn’t have any more appreciable noise - I listened intently at 40 mph and might have heard a bit more

So here is my take everything is great except lifespan. But since I have tried it in different climates I can only anecdotally say maybe the heat of SoCal wore down the tires. I drive regular not aggressive on a 2022 M3LR and for the first 12,000 miles wear was 1/32 then all the sudden it lost 3/32 in 6000 miles so now I'm at 5/32 with even wear.

Noisy is the least of your worries. These things are straight up plastic tires in the rain, seriously keep your distance and granny it in the rain.

After 2K miles i could not stand the road noise anymore. I upgraded my tires and what a difference it was. that annoying road noise disappeared and grip got a lot better.
