I'll go first.

This is a Hankook and Nokian house.

My Hankooks handle well and have good tread life because I don't drive like an Asian lady-boy like MACS.

My broad likes her Nokians because she afraid of driving on ice and snow.

The Ventus are sport tires. They're soft so they grip well. Stands to reason if you drive aggressively they're gonna wear out a lot faster.

I'm going to get some Hankook DynaPro for my truck in a few months. I imagine the tread life will be much better on truck tires.

Somehow, I almost always end up with Firestones for my trucks or motor home, and either Michelins or Generals for imy Subarus.
Had yokohamas on one of the Subarus..............they were toast at 22,000 miles!..........never again.

I had michelin all seasons on factory 17s on my awd car. Awful in rain and snow. Wish I could remember what model they were so I could blast them further. I probably won't by Michelin all seasons again. They were about 250 a tire.

Bought skinny Dunlop SP winter sport tires on 16" wheels for winter. They flipping rock. They were cheap.

Bought pirelli p6 four seasons on 18s to rotate for warm seasons. They are great all seasons I didn't bother with the winter tires last year and had no problems. Paid less than 500 for the set. Great deal. Was debating a Goodyear model forget which one now.

I put cheap tires on my truck. Currently bought a set of good year sr-a. They were in Craigslist for like 100 total. Lots of tread left

I never buy the run flats. **** handles horrible

I noticed that the Michelins on the outback are not as good in the snow, and off road as are the Generals on the Forester. But on the highway they really shine.......handle great, quiet, etc. they seem to do ok in the rain as well.
I'm going to lower the inflation pressure on those next time I'm in the snow..........have a feeling that might help a bit.

I'm going to dig around in the shed next week I think I kept 2 of them that weren't worn to ****. Whatever they were I recall bad reviews and similar sentiments online.

I replaced the Goodyear Eagles on my Taurus with a Michelin Touring tire.. expensive but I'm happy with them.. still corners well on wet roads but I haven't driven on ice or snow yet...
Got Goodyear Wranglers on the Burb.. never had trouble in any conditions...
I don't remember what's on the mustang... some sort of sport tire.. but it doesn't get driven much... 😟

Silverado came with Continental. So far so good, except for the recall.....sudden sidewall exposions or irregular tread wear it said. Hmmm, you mean I get a choice??

I'd rather eat a bug than buy tires, hate it.

I got 19's on the Taurus. . If I had known the tire prices I'd have insisted on 20's... 😟

I also discovered it's impossible to find used 15's these days... I have an old ford pick-up bed trailer I needed tires for. . Had to by new ones... didn't want to cause I only use it a few times a year. .. 😟

Ran 125/140 dollar priced Connies on my older Taurus and I've had two sets on my Avalon.
They rate very well against Michelins, some even better in sno/ice/water
Very pleased and will purchase again.
