Tires Hankook or OEM Mazda

If you can get Hankook Ventus V12 EVOs in that size, they're pretty nice for the money IMO.

I’ve got the hankook ions for 800 and perform better than sailun.

I have hankook Ventus S1 evo3s and they’re great

I’ve had Hankook DynaPro HT on my 06 4Runner for 8 years. No issues, only 40K. Plenty of tread. But time to replace soon.

Some more budget friendly brands that make good tires are Hankook.

Yes, it is worth it to spend more money. They will last longer, be more comfortable, have more grip, and make less noise.

My favs: Hankook kinergy PT last forever. Michelin crossclimate 2 are great in weather. Uniroyal tiger paw are a decent bargain.

Years ago I had an enlightening experience with Hankook Dynapro MTs, when I broke a tire and for a few weeks in winter had a a siped tire on on end of the rear axle and an unsiped tire on the other. The limited slip had to work very hard to keep me on the road in ice conditions in 2WD.

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.
