Tires Hankook or OEM Volkswagen

Hankook Kinergy’s. I’ve never had a budget tire that gripped as well as they.

Solid performance in wet, snow, and dry conditions, very minimal tire noise.

my Frontier's 18" OEM Hankook AT's lasted over 5 years and 63k I don't think I rotated them once

The best overall tire I have run is the Hankook MT2. I have 60,000mi on a set right now. I would buy them over and over again if I could. They handle great, ate very good offroad, wear very evenly, and don't get louder as they wear down.

Buy hankook, I switch from michelin and is the same, very good quality

Very pleased with the road noise and efficiency of the Hankook.

Ride is definitely quieter compared to my oems.

Put 19" Hankook ION EVO AS on my 2024 performance last week, and so far, I'm a fan. Obviously not enough experience with them yet to have much of an opinion, though.

They were fine for highway. I got a flat in 1 and decided it was time for an upgrade at 22,500. They had plenty of tread left. They just didn't feel like a truck tire to me.

Hankook makes some of the cheapest crappiest tires. There was an issue with premature wear on the Explorers. Michelin is better but not hugely better. I'd use Continental DWS06 any day of the week.

I did not like this tires on a previous car I had. Did not last long and terrible in snow.
