Passenger Car All Season High Performance Tires Tire Review Highlights
I purchased these tires to replace a set of Michelin Latitudes and noticed the difference in grip immediately. With mostly interstate miles under my belt, a mix of backroads, and even the occasional dirt road, these tires exceeded my expectations. The grip in all environments made them an excellent choice for all seasons.
I’ll be honest—I’ve put these tires through their paces. Over 37,000 miles, they held up remarkably well with even wear patterns. I’ve driven them across the country multiple times, including during a blizzard in Flagstaff, and never once did I feel concerned about losing traction.
However, these tires are straightforward when it comes to wear. Once the wear markers are gone, it’s time to replace them. I recently drove through a snowstorm and, sadly, their performance disappointed me—but to be fair, the DWS indicators were completely worn.
After careful consideration, I’ve retired my old set and replaced them with the same model. That alone speaks volumes about how much I trust these tires. I highly recommend them.

Not a terrible option if you're looking for essentially a summer tire. These claim to be all seasons but the snow and ice grip are awful. You constantly are loosing the front end and suffering from under-steer under the littlest of throttle input in the snow. Even when just coasting, when on snow these do not feel planted and feel vague. I have even lost traction in the wet when it was room temperature outside numerous times. My stock Honda civic shouldn't be able to accidentally peel out for a continuous 3 seconds straight just from a 1/2" puddle of water. The dry traction is solid, nothing to write home about but its one of the few decent things with these tires. Good handling and feedback too, average comfort.
To summarize:
Pros: Good handling and feedback, good return to center with the steering wheel. Good dry grip.
Neutral: Average comfort and noise, nothing really noteworthy in those departments. Decent wear as well.
Cons: Awful Snow and ice traction, not up to par with new England winters. Bad wet traction too.
Would I recommend these?: Only under one condition, you've got a good deal on these and live in let's say Arizona or any other hot, dry climate where rain and snow are very very uncommon. If you're paying say $650+ for a set of these, you likely have much better options for that price and should just get real summer tires that preform well. If you live in New England like I do, I would highly recommend almost any 3pmss all weather tire over these. Do not buy these if you have a lot of snow and plan on using thee during the winter. I was happy to finally get rid of these when I did.

Overall I am satisfied about my decision to buy them, but I was disappointed about the fact they wore very fast, faster than expected, after 58 000 km - compared with the Continental stock tires. I had another pairs of tires ALL SEASONS CONTINENTAL ALLSEASONCONTACT (I was happy with them, too). Even now, after 2 years, on dry surface the Hankooks are almost freezing my Duster (1.6, 4 x 4, petrol, 2016) when a person is appearing from nowhere at a pedestrian cross (having 50 km/h). During work time I am driving 200 km / 5 days. On highways wet surfaces I had full control. I drove on mud, too, they kept me going forward. Slowly. but surely. In summer times I am going to mountains roads and hilltops, nothing special, no aggressive off-road, just pebbled, dust and forest roads. On forest and pebbled roads they behaved very well, but there were noisy. I used them in the winter on snow on Transfagarasan from Capra Chalet till Salvamont Arges refuge Cota 2000. I won`t buy them again because they wore (as I mentioned) too fast.
These 225/45/19 Continental tires are not suitable for an X1. The comfort is basic and they are too stiff. The driving becomes too nervous. Very poor directional stability. The trajectory must be corrected regularly, even after having revised the alignment of the car. After 33,000 km, I have to replace them...
The original tires were Pirelli Cinturato P7. These tires are even worse. I had to replace them after only 21,000 km of discomfort.

Without question the worst tires I have ever purchased. Do not buy these tires. One month old and one tire required 2.75 weight. Another required 5 ! Absolute junk!

With the time it starts to really pull on uneven roads, vibrates, the water that is on the road when you hit it, it doesn’t cut the water to the side it throws the water straight on the windshield… Overall i am giving it 5/10 because of these reasons if it wasn't for these cons it would have been 9/10

Running the XL version of the T/A's but that doesn't change the fact that the compound used in these tires is garbage. road too hot? driving on mushy crap, cold? nice and stiff but hardly any grip, wet and cold? good luck, you'll need it.
the tires are a good grip range in the wet and dry, certainly better then XM2's i was on but the unpredictability of the compound you never know what the hell it's going to do, some days i can drift on these by pushing it hard round a corner, other days it does nothing but roll to an uncomfortable level. The side walls are softer then my bicycle tires, although the irony is you need to run low tires pressures to even get good contact patch or handling so you lose out on the "comfort" not that it was even there to begin with because its so damn soft all it does is cause crap handling. 1000kg car? yea na, handles like a boat with these.. it holds the power but that's about all it does. for the price its a ripoff, $800 for these useless rubber bands. might work better on a heavier car around 1400kg but at that point you would want a superior tire to prevent poor handling since you would need to modulate your tire pressures away form square to staggered. I did replace my rear shocks and handling improved but that just says the tires are so bad that it needs soft suspension to even function adequately, not what id expect from a tire this overpriced.
final verdict for me, id rather go with the lower grip astronomically better handling MX2, i mean they suck in the wet and don't always hold the power even though its only 83kw, but hell at least when i get in the car and set the PSI correctly it handles how it should with no random changes with temperature or moisture. hell if you are wondering how good the XM2's are, they aren't but they were built well, well enough that the Pilot Sport 5's are based off them.

I drive a FWD Mitsubishi 3000gt. I've only ever driven on a couple tires in my life, but Imo, these tires are amazing in the dry. They are definitely a sporty compound. The understeer on corner exit even when pushed past the limit is very progressive and predictable. They do not squeal when pushed past the limit like eco tires, they grip very hard. However, these tires will start to show their weakness when ambient temps start to drop below 70F. Ride quality starts to drop as they get hard, and they will lose traction. Hydroplaning/rain was never an issue, Great confidence in the rain. But as said before, if it's cold rain especially, they will spin. They are advertised as all seasons but think of them more like summers. During heavy snowstorms with a couple mm of fresh snow on the ground, my car will get squirrely only going 55 on the interstate. This is even with new (less than 5000 mile) tread. The treadwear rating is pretty low, so I'm not surprised that 30,000 miles in, they are about 75% worn to the first wear bar.
They have seen a low double-digit amount of first gear burnouts though during special occasions btw =D

I recently got a flat so I took my car in to my trusted car maintenance folks and they said they couldn't fix it, or put on two of the four tires because of the tread wear on them. I have a 2021 Honda CR-V and these were the stock tires Honda opted to put on the car. At roughly 24,000 miles I need new tires. This is absurd. Most of the tires this size are rated for a minimum 50K miles and I got less than half. In some places I've seen these tires rated for 70K. Absurd. I've never liked the noise from these tires or the handling but didn't realize until today just how cheap these tires actually are. Never Hankook again and maybe not Honda again if this is the cheap tire they are opting to put on their cars. Additionally, Honda doesn't cover these tires in their warranty, they expect the tire manufacturer to cover them. Guess what, Hankook doesn't provide a mileage minimum on their tires, likely because they know how awful and cheap these tires are as well. HORRIBLE customer experience.

Lots of cupping. Tread still good but very noisy.
