Tires Hankook or YOKOHAMA

Ich kann die "Hankook Kinergy 4S 2" wärmstens empfehlen.

That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.

Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.

Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.

You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.

It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.

Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.

The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).

Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.

VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.

Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.

Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.

Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.

Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).

Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.

I run Yokohama V701 225/45 R18 and I'm really happy with them.

Eu am avut iarna trecuta hankook winter icept... Au fost impresionante iarna trecuta ca nici nu-mi intra abs ul pe zapada cand scoteam la liber si puneam frână talpă, pur si simplu ma opream. Dar sincer le-am simțit prea overkill din cauza ca...a cam lipsit iarna.

Am luat Hankook winter icept rs3 acu doua ierni, f multumit de ele

I replaced with Hankook ion EVO AS that are rated for 50k. They’re much quieter and my Wh/mi has went down dramatically too.

I went with the latter for all seasons and couldn’t be happier.

Mine came with the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 rubber. Only had them for little over 100 miles before switching out to Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3. No opinion on the Hankooks due to limited mileage, other than they seemed OK.

I’ve gone through 3 Geo’s in less than 20k

Fuck those shoes

Whatever it is it’s probably better than the Hankook Ion Evo AS that sometimes come on Kia ev’s. Couldn’t get them balanced even after 3 shops tried. Just put my winter tires on and the vibration is immediately gone.
