Does anyone else really hate the OEM tires?

We only have 30K on our 2019 Limited. It only took a few times of wet and some tire slipping and my wife was all in. Just got the Michelin Defender LTX-MS at Costco. Love them. I've had them on all my SUVs.

I learned pretty quick that these tires don't handle well in the rain while driving on my county road.

Hankooks are awful and I replaced mine at 26k. In slippery conditions I would always put the expy in 4a because of horrible grip.

Replaced then with Pirelli scorpion 3 plus, same size. They are much better.

We just did the exact same thing. The stock Hancooks were laughable in the rain- it felt like driving on ice. The defenders are quiet, roughly the same ride quality but far more stabile. What did Costco charge per tire?

Add me to the Hankook hater list. I also upgraded to Michelin Defender LTX. Much better grip and ride quality.

I just tried my Hankooks on snow after 30,000 miles and they are absolute garbage. They did bad last winter, but I wanted to just use them up. They're impossible now.
New Contenentials go on in a week or so.

Mine came with the Michelin Primacy 275x65x18 P rated all terrains. Not too bad in the rain this past weekend.
