Replacing Hankooks- how many miles?

[charlespsu]

Have 27,000 miles on my 22" Hancooks and I have no confidence in driving in the rain with them and think I'm going to bite the bullet and get new tires.

How many miles did you get on your Hankooks before you replaced?

Been thinking about this too - anyone have the Bridgestone Trail Terrains (in addition to OP message about how many miles)?

 

[Gumby]

I think that was about what I had, perhaps a bit more. Today I am getting a set of Michelin Premier LTX put on. This will be my third set of "summers" and I am on my second set of dedicated winters. My second set of summers was Yokohama Parada Spec X. They were just OK. Tread life was not that good.

I ditched those garbage tires at about 25k or 26k

Worst tires I have ever had on a car in the rain... had to put in 4wd to feel safe on slick surfaces.

Same experience here. If you enjoy throwing around the rear of a high riding, 6,000 lb vehicle, they're great for that.

I had mine siped when they were nearly new, and that helped a lot. They would grip on wet, and ice after the siping. Before siping them, they were complete garbage.
I was just glad that I could at least wear them down and not have to feel bad throwing away newish tires.

Hancooks are junk. Had them on my 16 Explorer… they didn’t even come with a warranty. Call FoMoCo out on that, see if you can get some credit for replacement. I did

I'm at 32,000 and they're pretty much shot. I'd say around 25,000 i really started to notice my ride quality decrease and the wet traction is mediocre at best. I could probably push them to 40,000 but they'd be bald. With the Texas heat coming and the wear/tear that puts on tires, I'm putting a set of Michelin defenders on them next week as well. Not the cheapest, but I have yet to find someone who doesn't like those tires. Tried and true...

I ended up putting on pirelli scorpion 3s on and they have been great

I have at least 45,000 on my hankook dynapro HT's and can't really complain. They still have a decent amount of life left, and I've never felt that they lack wet traction or control.

That said, I'm pretty sure I'll go with Michelins when it's time for tires....

Today I replaced my Hankook Dyna Pros with 35K and change miles on them. Moved to Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires. I felt an immediate difference in ride pulling out of the parking lot and were much quieter on the road. I wonder if it's because these have new tread not worn out tread the Hankooks had.

31k miles and they got loud. I replaced them with Michelin Defender and the Expedition turned into a different vehicle. Quiet!

 

[Lou Hamilton]

Mine lasted about 15K before I changed them.

I probably would have changed them despite getting a lift and different wheels/tires at the time. I was experiencing a lot of slipping during wet driving and I am NOT an aggressive driver when coming to a stop or start. I mean, I have pushed it to see what it can do, but under normal circumstances, I feel I am a good driver.

 

[TheDoug]

I have at least 45,000

Wow you must have got a special batch... not sure anyone on here has got that many miles on a set of hancookeds

Yeah I'm pretty surprised, but hey, I'll take it.

Glad my 21 came with Pirelli's. Not that they are great, but they are better than the junk Hankook's. I am going to replace them with either a Continental or Firestone A/T tire before next winter.

 

[Gumby]

I just put on a set of Michelin Premier LTX. WOW what a night and day difference. These things are smooth and quiet. Pretty nice tread too. 100% recommend.

 

[texevora]

62k on mine. All highway miles.

 

[Deadman]

I put a set of Continentals Terrain Contact's on mine, because the Michelin's were just a little too much of a road tire for me. My continentals are beautiful, ride smooth, silent, and yet they will dig in the snow and dirt a little bit more than the Michelins. I was afraid of the Michelins smooth road tread because the damn Hankooks were soo smooth and slippery with their road tread.

 

[NC12South]

Just put on defenders and feel like I have a new car. If you would like a softer, smoother ride and good wet traction, would recommend. I would think the new Pirelli 3s would be a good choice too, maybe a bit more “sporty” feel. My only regret, not changing sooner.
