Hankook or Michelin?

Hakepelita for snow. There is no alternative.

Got 25k out of a set of Michelin Cross Climate + tires that had a 40k mile tread warranty. Rotated every 5k miles and not abused.

Dude at the tire dealership gave me monster shit about crediting the remaining warranty tread life. Tires were crap.

I once bought some Sidewinder tires, made by Cooper. Within about 5000 miles, they got noisy and vibratey. The belts had slipped and they were now lumpy.

Discount Tire wouldn't even talk about it. I drove on the tires and probably got 75,000 noisy miles out of them. No more Cooper, no more Discount Tire, ever.

I would trust Coopers conclusion over some average Joe's opinion.

Buy some foreign crap tire.

What are they going on again ?

And describe your hair ?

I had Hankooks on my old blazer years ago, lasted over 80k miles......
Sold me for life.
All I buy now.

no

I can’t tell you enough just how fun it is to go up a steep ass hill in the pine trees with the black soil , it’s all wet and shit useing the fuck out of your clutch knowing full well if you have to come back down it’s worse and fuck ya yours gonna need a new back tire and maybe some know what the fuck your doing and shit .

Fuck that shit. Bridgestone all the way.

Hankook are the only name brand I would use.

The best tyres I have had were Sailun.

Hankook were close.

Michelin, Pirelli, and co were all crap compared to those 2.

Sailun were the cheapest, last me the longest, and handeld as well as anything.

I drive on dirt, in the wet, and at over 200kmh.

It was all deep and dark under brush and I had to side hill till I found the trail witch at first was a game trail but some of us try a little harder than others so when you see something like that you immediately think “HIT THE GAS” and then most the time you can find an easy place to lay it down if it don’t work out so good .

I bought a brand new Datsun B-210 in 1977 with Toyo tires and wore the car out before they popped.

They actually still had a little tread on them. They were very hard tires, by the time the car rusted apart and the motor wore out, they were cracked and dry rotted and had petrified on the rims but were still holding air.

I thought I was in real trouble there for a little with my left wrist and it turned out to be a hairband .

^^^THIS^^^
I got 80k out on last set!

What ever happened to P-Zero tires ? I thought ?


So my bfgs are kind of cracked up having not moved for 3 years and now that they are all dusty they look great and they feel great too. I have not checked the air pressure and there is a rats nest in the cab of the truck.

Side note, chain wax works , still has lube life left on the chain .

I've been beating the hell out of some Laufenn X fit AT which are made by Hankook. Great tire. Was $75 when I got them, now are $110. Still a bargain.

No ones going to ask what he drives, how drives and his location?

Bunch of rank amatuers!

Same here. 2 sets of Hankook DynaPro ATM's both sets had over 70k on them, still had tread when replaced.

Now that we have established a couple things it is clear most of you don’t get to drive like the Duke boys ,that being said and if you real want some mileage one could do retreads ,

I just went up a crazyass dirt road and if ....


That’s a weird choice ,

there should be more .

Michelin is the best of the best. They have the resources for it.

Hankook is the best bang for your buck tire company.

Like most things, it's relative.

Hankooks dont wear out lol.

Might as well keep em

Same

Great tires

Cant wear them out under 80,000

My shoes are Michelin. Awesome grip in the wet [link to soles.michelin.com (secure)]

I've had Hankooks factory fitted as standard on 4 brand new mid range cars since 2000. Yeah, they've all done really well for all usual purposes. Some have withstood puncture repairs very well too.

I'd have no hesitation fitting Hankook as replacements on any car in average conditions (I'm in a temperate region; don't do crazy/risky off road driving stuff but lots of regular town and 70mph motorway). Plus I believe they may be a bit cheaper than Michelin.

You gotta think about that one?

If you can afford it Michelin but you pay out the nose.

what ever you do, don;t buy chinese (putin is finding out the hard way, with his military contract for chinese built tires), if I were putin, I would "n-k-" china for screwing his military with defective parts and tires...
