Tires Hankook or Sava

I'm running Kinergy. They come with less tread, but are harder rubber. I'm getting 50k miles or so on them.

Priority Tire via eBay has the best deals on EV tires. Hankook ION EVO.

I took a look on Tire Rack out of curiosity. Hankook Kinergy rates 4 stars with 800+ customer reviews.

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.

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.

My first time in the rain was the nail in the coffin it's straight up irresponsible that VW put those things on our cars. It's a shame but mine didn't last 1000mi before I got rid of them and that's only because I waited for a sale.

Only fly in the ointment seems to be the OEM tires, Hankook Kinergy GTs. I've noticed, in the very short time we've had the car, that they are noticeably noisier than the Cooper Endeavors we had on our trade in, and the Michelin Cross Climate 2s we have on our other car.
