Hankook or Michelin?

Pirelli for dirt, Michelin for road, they make a great 80/20.



I’m all seriousness before I bought my truck I ran hankooks on my WRX, heavy rain state and they performed great.

Interco .

Many years ago the guy that owned Barrick Tire sales in Newville, Pa. Told me that there were only 3 tire manufactures. They just put everyone else's name on the sidewall.

Toyo Extensa A/S for the win.

Made in Japan.

120k KM warranty (80k miles)

Road hazard for like 7.50 a corner.

Hankook lasting quality and good price. Made in Korea.
Michelin also lasting quality , generally higher priced. Possibly made in USA.

Had both. Many more Michelin, than Hankook. But Id not overlook Hankook if they were similar but cheaper.

I only buy Michelin for my truck.. Cooper for my car

I’m running Nitto 35’ on a 22’ rim fuck ya .

I have to say , l had a couple pairs of hankook M/T on a truck and after the tread wore off I tried pretty hard on some rocking roads to end them and I never got a flat .

I almost brought to used tires home with me , we bonded .

Been a life long fan of Michelin. Last 2 sets for my SUV have SUCKED. Got about half the lifespan as I should have and trying to get warranty credit was like pulling teeth. So now I'm done with them. Just put 2 sets of Continentals on our vehicles, 20k in and wearing really good. Rotating every 5-8k when oil gets changed. Had Coopers on an 07 Accord and they were pretty good too.

Research Vredestein tires. Very good quality and performance for the price point.

And with hankooks m/t’s on the ice and snow you are literally chewing and humming dog shit .

Toyo for Trucks

just stay with Michelin

Michelin! always

A proper set of Michelin tires for wet conditions. Very stable.

Big fan of Michelin.

Also, Cooper.

I might just order me an M12 130/90 18 and see , I get around 4months max out of a dirtbike tire .

Pirelli tires are now imo better than Michelins. Never been a fan of Hancock's since I don't think in the real world they are nearly as good.

One vehicle of mine has Michelins on it and WOW ... two of those tires have had to be replaced under warranty because the rubber in them just disintegrated.

Other vehicle has Pirelli's on it, which I ordered in after a GREAT experience with them on another vehicle I owned. Tire Rack rates the ones I got near the top in the various categories of usage - and while other tires may be better in one realm or another across ALL driving realms (snow, ice, rain, noise, wear, ride, etc. etc.) nothing was as good.

Go out and look at Tire Rack's ratings, they do a really really good job at testing all the various brands and models.

(fwiw my newer Pirelli's are the "Scorpion" love em, kept me out of a sandwich accident in the rain on the expressway in rush hour about a month ago, other cars got sandwiched in that event and I did NOT - that alone PAID for their extra cost)

Well, right now I am spinning a 90/90 continental TKC80 twinduro with a speed rating of 112mph , at 11 psi I don’t go there, up front

A 120/90 Dunlop D606 in the rear

So up the canyon I will go and those lovely windy dirt trails , the bumps are just big enough to have to wheelie a few , jump a couple , twist and bend in rhythm with the wind,

with that lovely sound , BBBAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The trail just gets narrower and narrower till it kind of just ends in what looks at first to be unmakeable till someone makes it, then someone else does , then it’s a trail when it either gets somewhere cool or you connect with another trail.

Had a set of Hankooks on my last car. Best tires I ever owned, and I've owned them all.

I tried Cooper about 30 years ago. After a few hundred miles I had a L/F blowout going about 75 on a downhill curve. The shop sent it in to Cooper and they denied the warranty claim, said it was a puncture. Looked like a sidewall blowout to me, so no more Coopers for me.

no you didn't

I’m back and I an so sorry I am so much cooler than you .

Prolly around 400 wheelies , went down prolly 4 times , had to walk my bike through red shale , got to roll around in the forest , way to windy to hit the jump though .

We sell a lot of Hankooks where I work. Some have a better mileage rating than a lot of Michelins. Many people go to the Hankooks from the Michelins and are happy with them. If it were me I would buy Hankooks. Michelins are way to pricy for me.

Personally, I drive less than 5K miles a year so last tires I bought three years ago were Ironman. Cheap ass tire but it actually rides very good on the highway and I have plenty of tread left even though they are about a 20K tire. But as I work at a dealership they are rotated regularly and proper air pressure maintained and regular alignments, needed or not. It's quick and easy. I have a 150K mile car so why put expensive tires on for driving an average of 5 miles a day? LOL

I’m wearing my hair like I’m in the band right now also.

Waiting for the Hankooks to wear out to replace with Michelins on my explorer
