Tires Hankook or SUNNY

The 31" Hankook Rw11's have been fantastic in the snow.

When the insurance finally ran out and it was time to change tires, I went for a different brand, Hankook all seasons and never had any blow out since then. I have 179k miles on the car and has been replacing it with the same brand since then and not once had a blowout . And I've hit major potholes too.

The OEM Hankooks were utter garbage, on our 2017 Touring. We replaced them recently, at 30,000 miles, with [these Continentals](https://tiresize.com/tires/Continental/CrossContact-LX25.htm). They ride really nice, so far.

I absolutely love the Hankook RS4's! They are fantastic at autocross, don't melt at the track and they go unphased from street driving!

I can attest to how incredible the RS4s are. It’s great not having to give a shit about temp and just keep the pressures in check. Sure, not the fastest tire out there, but it’s simple to operate, predictable, and will last for a long time

I run Hankook RS4s on my dedicated track M3. I street drive mine to tracks, including one 120 miles away. I get about 20 track hours out of them, which equals about 18 track days. The downside is they don't work great when cold, and when they heat cycle out they turn into bricks.

Based on this description I would recommend Hankook RS4's they in the 2nd tier of performance, you'll be leaving maybe 1s per lap of performance over an A052 or an RE71R. But they last forever, are reasonably priced, feel good, won't kill you in the wet.

I'm gonna come out of left field here and recommend either the Falken Azenis FK510 or Hankook Ventus Evo 2. Both affordable (the Hankooks moreso than the Falkens), both grip great for spirited street use, both have respectable tread lives.

I'm speaking from experience with both.

I have taken 3 tires to track events on my R: Dunlop ZII Star Specs, Bridgestone RE71R and Michelin PSS. I also ran version 1 Hankook RS3 tires on my BMW for both HPDE and autocross events. ZII Star Specs: excellent tread life (9-10 HPDE days @ ~2 hours track time/day), very good dry traction, good wet traction, wide temperature range RE71R: fair tread life (5 HPDE days), excellent dry traction, good wet traction, wide temperature range PSS: I used these for one event as a rain tire as my expectation is that they will not tolerate the sustained heat that a dry session will produce. Good dry traction, excellent wet traction, limited temperature range RS3: very good dry traction, unknown wet traction, limited temperature range; i.e.: they need lots of heat before they get sticky (craptastic for autoX) If I had to pick one tire for HPDE events, it would be the ZII's and that is what is currently on my car. Tires cost money and I value tread life over outright performance and the wear characteristics make the Dunlops about half the cost of the Bridgestones. If someone else is buying my tires, then I'll go with the RE71R's. For autocross use only in a street tire class, then the RE71R's, no question. i have not tried the BFG Rival or Rival S, but based on friends experiences I would expect them to be somewhat similar to the ZII and RE71R, respectively.

Got some Hankook "100000 miles" H727 on the beater Honda. Within 3-4 years, or 50k miles later they're all shot. Tread is mostly gone. At the end I had a slow leak from cracks etc. The rubber ripped at the edges exposing the cord and leaks slowly, then rather quickly when it let go.
