Tires Hankook or OEM Volkswagen

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.

I have about 45,000 miles on a set of the Hankook DynaPro HT.

I like them a lot.

These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.

Overall the I found the GTI was very impressive at a track that doesn't cater to FWD and with terrible 560tw all seasons.

Just got new tires! Hankook Ventus V2's. Highly recommend!

I’m using the non EV ones as Michelin replacements and they’re great. Just a slight range hit and a bit noisier than OEM.

It's a very quiet all-season with a 70,000 mile estimated life expectancy according to Discount Tire.

I had the Hankook Ventus V12s are a different car. Here are my thoughts:

Decent grip, soft sidewall, narrower tire for its size.

I am still kind of unhappy with Hankook and I'll probably avoid this brand in future. That said, it looks like my Hankook tires with 60k treadwear warranty were worn literally to ground in less than 25k miles in 3 years.
