Tires Hankook or Vredestein

Yes, Hankook Optimo H727. They are CR rated #1 (let the hate fly) and have great reviews on TR and DTD. I got a set for my Golf and I'm VERY happy with them.

I have Hankook Winter I*Pikes in 225/60R16 XL (102 load rating, I think) on my 2003EV. They have worked well for me.

I have 245/45 18 Hankook Ventus S1 rated XL 100V. no problems Tire Rack.

nowadays, the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 can t be beat if price/performance/longevity have to be taken into account i can get 4x 245-40-17 for less than 400 bucks and they'll be at my door in a day from tirerack

I replaced mine with Hankook Ventus HRII's, which have performed quite well for the price (I got 18"s for about 110 each). Definitely more grip off the line than the OEM Michelin's and P6's (I've driven both).

Best bang for the buck, Hankook W300 for me.

I have Hankook Ice Bear W300's on the Mazdaspeed 3 and I like them a lot. I actually first used them on the Miata. Not the most extreme winter tire but NJ has very mild winters and they behave a lot like an all season in the dry which is perfect for me.

I've run a couple of sets of Hankook Ice Bears: 225/40/18's on the stock MS3 wheels - My primary winter setup. The car performed wonderfully. Aside from being a plow at some points (my car is lowered), the traction control + LSD + snow tires made for a flawless snow driver.

I had a friend that got a set of 19's from ebay. He said they were ok but wore pretty quickly iirc.

It's the tires...... My car came with the Hankook's and they are noisy lil bastards....
