Tires Hankook or SUMITOMO

Nexen, riken (made by Michelins), Hankook are all budget friendly made by good brands.

The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 is an all-weather tire with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Not only that, but it is an exceptionally good tire, with not only excellent snow and ice traction, but excellent dry and wet too.

There are Hankook RS4s, and then there are all other tires that cost more, need to be replaced more often, and are slightly faster. Best bang for the buck tire, I'm on my fifth set.

I use Hankook RS4s because endurance 200TW tires are cost effective. I can run them on my VN for at least an entire season and then some. It's gotten a bit chilly and there so the grip in colder weather is lacking if you're pushing it.

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 swear by Sumitomo Ice Edge tires. I've had three sets now on three different vehicles and other than a couple of nights when there was freezing rain, I've never had issues with them

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

I like them a lot.

I daily drive with the Sumitomos they are alright in the dry but I do find they aren't as good in the wet. They do feel pretty predictable when driving hard and the tire wear isn't too bad.

Hankooks are noisy in my experience.
