Tires Hankook or SUMITOMO

I’m in the NE, 25 p4x LWB is my daily since July. Better than my old full size pickup and my AWD SUVs in the snow. Probably my favorite to drive ever, maybe neck and neck with my 95 Lincoln town car.

I had Winter iPike RS W419? on two different vehicles (a sedan and a CUV). Both vehicles handled great in fowl winter weather, tires were pretty quite for winter tires, they also wore pretty decently.

My Hankook icept IZ3's are killing the New York weather...

Shockingly fantastic in winter slop. I was expecting them to be bad compared to my Sumitomos. Nope. Even better in slop. 100% recommended. Great in the dry with very low noise and super highway tracking. Finally found the grail of cheap and awesome.

Sumitomo is a fantastic tire. I run their summer tires all year around ( In Texas, heavy sedan ) very stable at 85 mph+, quiet and stay planted.

Sumitomo tires wildly out perform their price tag. Have had them on a bunch of cars over the years and have never been unhappy about it.

I'm on Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 or something like that. Overall decent but I'm not thrilled with the grip in the rain. I'll be trying something else when these are done.

Previously, Sumitomo P03 that I got rid of at 35k because LOUD. Otherwise durable and great in snow. A little unsettled at speed.

I had Hankook ION EVO summer tires on my Cupra Tvasvan and exchanged for Continental All season. De Hankooks had only 6K done and looked bad. Even the tire shop was very surprised about the condition. Never had that with any tire before.

I have a 2022 nissan sentra sv only 2,000 miles. came with 4 hankook kinergy gt tires. advertised as all year around. These are one of if not the most dangerous all year tires I have ever driven with. These things are going to end up killing someone. Ive slid/lost traction in winter far more and for far longer with these tires also while going at lower speeds. Yesterday driving home from work I was driving down a road that lead down a hill. the hill had a stop light. so the person infront of me and I stop. mind you we were only going maybe 6mph due to weather conditions. My car stops then proceeds to lose all traction while stationary. I turn my wheel to avoid hitting the person infront of me but low and behold im STILL sliding and im about to slide into oncoming traffic at the absolute last fucking second the tires magically get grip or traction again and stop. Absolute worst tires I have ever had the misfortune of using on the road in winter. No other car ive owned with all season tires has EVER done that.
