Rating 4.0

I just got some Sumitomos replaced with about 40,000 mi on them which probably still had 20 to go and were still gripping great but just a little bit noisy. They are the parents company of Falken. They are a great brand as far as longevity and grip. I'm currently using Laufenn which are a sub brand of Hankook which cost me under $90 a corner and I am so pleased that I'm considering putting them on my second car. This mid-tier brand has been just as if not more pleasant in the realm of noise and on center road feel at speed than Michelin Defenders I had just a month ago on a car we sold. My Laufenns will probably have only half of the tread life of the Michelins I used to have, but at only half the price and the feel on the road is identical but I'm sure the performance is a little bit less. We do have close to bottom tier on a car that is new to us which is a Douglas brand and it'll be good for the next year but it is an unpleasant tire. It's loud and doesn't feel like it tracks well. But it does grip well enough to push the replacement date out a year since they were manufactured this year.

Pros: great longevity, good grip, quiet, good road feel
Cons: noisy (Sumitomo), loud (Douglas), poor tracking (Douglas), shorter tread life (Laufenn)
Mileage: 40000 km

I was leaning towards the Hankook because of the great ratings. But I’ve also had to replace one on my factory continental tires a few months ago because I got a flat.

Pros: great ratings
Cons: flat tire issue

I drove all last winter with the standard 18” Hankook AS tires that came with my Model 3 LR. Worked fine.

Pros: worked fine

I am at 25k in 13 months with 4/32 on my rear and 6/32 on the fronts of my Y Performance (can’t rotate due to staggered wheels). I have the Hankook Ion Evo AS suv tires. Those only start at 8.5/32 new from Tesla vs 10/32 for the replacement version. Not bad, if I was able to rotate I would have averaged 3.5/32 of wear over 25k miles. They still have pretty good traction, was able to fully launch in the recent nor’easter storm with slippage only on painted lines (testing to see how traction is in full rain, pretty impressive). But, there are now turns or on/off ramps that the rear wants to step out when applying a little more power than I should, was able to practically drift it around a ramp during the same storm.

Pros: good traction, impressive in rain
Cons: rear steps out, loss of grip
Mileage: 40233 km

Imam hankook icept rs3 i mogu reci iako su ocjene dobre guma nije nesto. Pogotovo na kisi je losa.

Zapravo prvu zimu nisam imao problema, drugu zimu su mi malo plivale po mokrom, evo sad pocetak trece i iako izgledaju ko nove najradje bi ih bacio.

Cons: loše na kiši, plivaju po mokrom

When I had those tires mounted on my 3, they wore extremely rapidly - so much so that the rep at Discount Tire was surprised.

Cons: rapid wear
