Tires Hankook or SUMITOMO

I ran these tires for years in my first gen, Florida heat and rain. They were my go to for daily driving. No idea what everyone has against these tires, they never gave me an issue. Gripped or slipped when i wanted them to.

These used to be go-to tires for the off-season. Great value and grip. I also like them better than the PS4s.

The Ventus V12’s came new on my CPO. I can’t compare them to the OEM Michelin’s, but can tell you that they grip very well! ????

I had a set of Dynapro ATMs on my 2nd gen for several years. They had a 3PMSF rating and worked great in the snow while the tread was still deep (traction obviously degraded as they aged).

Caveat: They were the aftermarket versions. I'm unsure if they're the exact same quality as the OEM tires.

Ok, this is the first time doing some snow driving on the Pro4x with the hankook. I must admit the tires handle snow very well! I thought about airing them down but decided not to. The tires felt really good, and I drove with no issues. They do suck in the rain, but in the snow they handle well.

Hankook RS4 will last forever, but they are endurance tires - they will be on the slower side of the 200 spectrum.

So I ended up going with the 185/65r14 Hankooks (891 revs/mile) ... Balancing is actually pretty good for a manual bubble-level. Smooth up to ~85mph and then a tiny vibration starts and gets a little worse around 95. That's fine.. I stay under 80mph 99.999% of the time anyway. And speedo is dead-accurate, now, too, for the first time in my 19 years of ownership.

I bought my Volvo XC90 with Hankooks. I replaced them when they wore out with Michelins. The Hankooks weren't horrible, but the Michelins were enough better to make them worth the extra money, IMO.

I don't really like them. They slip in the rain or dirty roads.

Absolutely horrible.

They're slippery on every single surface whether it be tarmac or on the side of a mountain.

They're so bad I put mine for sale and nobody wanted them.
