Default Hankook tyres

Hi everyone

I’m well aware this subject forever raises its head? But any info would be greatly appreciated
I have a 2019 xc40 T4 awd with Michelins fitted , on 27000 and getting ready for a change?
In the past I’ve always had either Pirelli or Hankook tyres the later being my preference due to handling and low noise

Has anyone fitted Hankooks on their xc40 ? I thought of replacing with Michelins but the cost has shot up !

Any thoughts very much welcomed

Ps the xc40 to be honest drives faultless , comfy not bad fuel economy at 40.1 and spacious

No, not on the '40, but they are really excellent on our XC70. Recommended - and on some tests rated higher than CC2s.

Also take a look at Vred. Quatrac 6s, very similar to the Hankooks.

ETA
Am assuming we're talking all seasons tyres here?

This is my 3-4.set of Hankook. VentusPrime2 is garbage. But VPS1 evo3 is really good. This is my 2. set S1 evo3

Thanks guys, ive noticed that Eagle appear to be highly recommended but yet to find someone with great feedback on the xc40 tyre preferences?

Gues like all of us im looking for good handling in wet/dry , all season tyres and a brand that will do good mileage ?

I had a big wrecking a while back and the car was shod in Hankies, went round in a circle at least 1.5 times and the tyres gripped so hard the axles were in full drifting mode \ \ on two wheels and / / on the other two when it finally came to a stop, I was opp locking like mad at the time as well so that might've had something to do with it as I thought I'd had a blow out rather than a van hit me just behind the B pillar at an estimated 60 mph running a red.

If you have costco membership - give them a try as usually pretty cheap for good brands.
