Tires Hankook or Toyo

Hankook winter icept evo3 were the only options when I was in the market for new winter tires in 235/35R19 and 295/30R19 last year.

For long hot summers, they’ll work, but you’ll get better dry grip and road feel from something like the Hankook Kinergy 4S2. Those hold up better in heat and don’t get as squishy.

If you want something cheaper but still sticky, the Toyo R1R also comes in 205/45/16 and works great for spirited street driving.

The Toyo would be your best bet since the Bridgestone are being discontinued but if you find a set, they'll be a better price than the Toyo.

I like my RS4 in the rain. They will slide in tight situations in standing water, but it’s controllable. They’re very steady at speed.

I have Toyo gsi-6 studless winter tires on my fwd car. It makes driving in snow fun. With predictable braking and handling.

I had these brand new, very very quiet but shook the steering wheel like crazy. Tesla said it was from being strapped down too tight and replaced with Pilot Sport 4. Noisier tyre, otherwise havent noticed much difference!

I had the ion Evo AS on my M3P and they were a nice tire, quiet, smooth. Put them on to get more life from them than the Pilot Sport 4S I had previously. Ultimately I missed the way the PS4s handled on the car and went back to them. Also note that if you have the 20” uberturbines the ion evos leave a gap around the bead of the rim and rocks do get trapped in that space frequently.

Toyos kinda suck, especially after some wear.

With stock Toyo tires = shit.
