    OEM Hankook Tires, Like or Dislike

    I had the Bridgestones installed but haven't had them in snow yet. On dry pavement they are a bit firmer which I am fine with. Neither throw off a material amount of noise. Dry handling is about the same.

    OEM Hankook Tires, Like or Dislike

    The Tirerack ratings are based on more than 500 reviews so it's a fairly significant sample size. They aren't rated superior in a single category and only eek out an excellent (just barely) in dry traction. Empirical evidence is great, but when everyone is saying more or less the same thing...

    Tirerack is very respected & rate these tires 31 out of 32 in its class.

    I have to say, maybe you guys are more patient or tolerant than me, but IMO it's not acceptable to put such a crap tire on a car that stickers for $45K. All the AWD settings in the world aren't going to help you with crappy tires. The car is a lease. I wouldn't expect to drop $1K on an extra...

    Driver Seat and Foot Well Complaints

    That is really unfortunate. My other car is a '10 Caddy CTS AWD. I am on a forum for that car & Caddy Cust Srvc monitors posts, responds and reaches out to people directly. I never had the opportunity to reach out to them because the car has been really good to me but it's good to know that...

    OEM Hankook Tires, Like or Dislike

    We were out early on Saturday before it got very bad. I know an all-season tire can only do so much but c'mon, these things are terrible and the rankings show that. They aren't highly rated in any category. Not what I expect from a car that stickers where these cars do. I got stuck where...

    Stock 20" Hankooks - who else hates them? :thumbdwn:I had my '15 Explorer Ltd AWD in the snow for the 1st time this weekend. The stock Hankooks are TERRIBLE! :mad: I got stuck 3x with them. This is a big concern as my wife drives this car with the kids in it. When I got home I jumped on...
