Mercedes Benz GL 350 CDI Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Hankook Ventus ST given 69% (265-60-18-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 7000 spirited miles
I have driven around 10k kms with these tires on my 2013 Mercedes GL(S) 350 CDI this year (2021). As I have four kids we are quite heavily loaded most of the times. Previously I had Michelin Latitude Tour HP 265/60 R18 (MO) on and I have to tell: the two tires have as good as nothing in common. While the Michelin did not show a lot of grip on dry road and even less on wet with horrible performance on aquaplaning these new Hankook tires are very good on dry surface and amazing on wet. Got into a heavy rain in Italy this summer - on the highway all other drivers stopped expect for large trailers and us. It was at least 5 cms of water on the highway and we got stable. No aquaplaning at all, no sliding no drifting not even at higher speeds over 100 km/h - you wonder how the tires manage this at all??? But you know, all coins have two sides, so what you get for this excellent performance on dry and wet (and also in mud of course) you have to pay with less comfort (and probably faster wear) on the other side. When I put on these new tires this spring (after my Toyo Open Country winter tires) I was shocked. I even told my wife, let's sell these after summer and get new ones for next season. The reason: they are loud. No, not a bit loud. They sound as if you had superhard offroad tire on your SUV. And no matter whether you drive with 2.5 bars or 3.0 bars. These tires are extremely loud and especially on low speeds (they are close to unbearable to my ears). The music starts at around 60 kmh and lasts till around 120-130 then wind and engine noise would take over the lead. I am still considering selling them but you know: the performance in wet is so unbelievably amazing... I might keep them. Buyin them again? Let's see in four years. If the manufacturer manages to do something with the noise, these tires are could beat all the others. But, somehow, I think this is the tradeoff: grip vs comfort.
