Tires Hankook or RIKEN

So 5 thousand miles ago (at 50K miles) I finally replaced those Bridgestones with the Hankooks because they were the only ones that I could find that seemed to check all the boxes; that said, it was a huge gamble as I'd never tried Hankooks before on any vehicle and knew virtually nothing about them.

And wow did it pay off. I think I measured that interior sound levels have dropped about 5 dB at 70 mph (from 70 dB to 65 dB); ride comfort is extraordinarily improved to the point that it feels like a newer build Model Y with their improved suspension (I know because I've rented them via Hertz a few times); and crucially -- and this is coming from somewhat of a tire geek here -- I have never, ever experienced such astonishing hydroplaning resistance before. During our recent California storm (Feb 2024) I had the chance to drive through absolutely bucketing, torrential conditions on the freeway, and standing water that would have previously turned our car into a boat were carved through like an icebreaker ship through, er, ice. Or a hot knife through butter. Whatever.

And yes, best of all, our (still inexplicably dismal) range has jumped a whopping 34% or so on average, from about 145 mi to about 195 mi

Recently bought some Rikens(Japanese tyre company that is now owned by Michelin and made in EU) for my wife's car and they are smooth AF.

Just swapped out my stock conti’s for the hankook evo SUV on my model Y; very happy with them. They’re quiet, smooth and responsive.

I got the Hankook Ion Evo AS installed for $1,150. They are really quiet and have a lot more grip in corners than the Michelins my M3 came with. I also like them more for snow.

I use Hankook Kinergy, I think they’re the K425, on my Prius-c., have for years and won’t buy anything else. You don’t necessarily need the higher end tires. I live in PA so we get every weather condition you can think of and my tires hold up well.

Just put some Hankook dynapro at2 on my jeep. They had amazing reviews and stats compared to other brands.

I had Ventus V12’s on my 1M. I liked them a lot.

I have the Hankook Ventus V2’s on my basic Camaro, I commute 60 miles a day, interstate, encounter bad weather quite a bit and they’re really good in the rain as well, much smoother ride than my previous tires.

I did not like the Hankooks, they were ok this winter, but very loud.

I found the kinergy GT Tires that came with my 18 to be lack luster. Torwards the end of the life of the tires I thought they were junk. They were comfortable up until 30k miles. They wore down quick for me. 38k miles and they were at 2/32 left.
