Tires Hankook or YOKOHAMA

I had Hankook Ventus V12s on my old IS250 after the factory Bridgestone ER33 (Now that is a $hit tire) wore out. They were great and half the cost of the ER33s.

I have Hankook IPike w203 (couple of years older model) and don't have a single complaint (very happy).

On my MK VI R I run Hanhook Icept Evo's in the winter, they are a "snow" tire winter rated and all but they are also geared towards high performance. I feel very confident in conrnrs and such when its dry unlike some snow tires that are mush and don't handle well. In a car like the R it would be a shae to use a tire that doesn't allow the car to handle well when roads are dry or just slightly wet. the Icepts are a great snow tire. I have had zero issues wit their performance on snowy surfaces especially with the AWD you can basically go WOT from a stop in the snow and have no traction issues.

I am running 17x8 +45 Neuspeed RSe05 with 245/40R17 Hankook RS-3's with no problems

I get lucky out of the blue one day and luck into a set of virtually free new take off Hankooks from another new Jetta. I ditch the Contis and put on the Hankooks. HOLY COW. Drives like the car should have from day one.

I replaced the Yokos with 215/65R-16 Yokohama AVID Ascend tires. No complaints with them. It has a very high treadwear, which we need because the Tig is our workhorse vehicle.

On my 2010 S, I quickly replaced the stock Scorpions with Yokohamas in 225/65-16 and it worked great. We have rough roads here, and it really helped.

The Yokohama yk580 we have on my wife's EX are doing really well so far, but we only have a few thousand miles on them. Much quieter than the stock tires, good grip, and they are rated to last quite a while (45k supposedly, but in a GTI would be less).

I had the V12s on my Subaru - were great until I had to stop in the snow. I have the V12s on my S2000 - tried to move it into the garage last year after it had started to snow and had a very difficult time getting traction.

Don't worry, the 3.6L driver will end up in the ditch because his hankook tires exploded.
