Hankooks, a lot of them are at the bottom of the list. Hmmm. Every time I rented a car either Kia or Hyundai they seem to roll just fine, low noise. Turns left or right.....

I had a couple of them and they did great. In fact, of all the tires I've had, the Ecopia held up longer with no problems. I live off road and I don't recall ever having a flat with the Ecopia's. Usually when the tires get a few years on them, they start to have flat issues. They were cheap at Walmart and I would buy them again.

When shopping for all-season tires, I look for the best combination of long tread life and good handling on wet roads. Price is also a consideration, but spending a little more for a set of tires that will last 70k miles instead of 30k is a no-brainer.

Costco gives warranty of 75k miles.


I am shopping for P255/50R20 size tires and am looking for quiet and comfortable ride. I drive mostly highway here is SoCal. the OEM is Bridgestone H/L Dueler and im at 53k miles already after 5 years

A bud of mine had a Dodge 4 door truck that had the 20" wheel package. The original tires were GoodYears in the same size you have. He replaced them with Michelin LTX tires. The thing rode like a tank. I thought the tires were over inflated but they weren't. Wet handling per him was horrible. I've always ran the Yokohamas. They ride nice, handle wet great, quiet, only down side I've found with them is they seem to dip into the fuel mileage. They last a long time and are not prone to flats like a Continental. Right now, the current truck, a 2014 F150 SCrew, has the factory 275/55/20 tires. They are the Bridgestone H/L Alenza. So far they ride great, quiet, wet and dry traction is great, really no complaints. Unless something goes sideways with them, I'll probably replace them with the same tire if they still make them. The truck previous to this one I had a set of Revos put on it. The absolute worst tire I've ever owned. No handling and that's NO handling, wet or dry. Ride was all over the place. I took them back thinking they were defective but they said nothing was wrong. They offered to swap them out for something else but before I got that far with it I traded into the current ride. Best of luck with it though. You do need to look at reviews that has the tire on the exact same car/truck as yours. Different cars/trucks will respond differently to the same tire.

for the rare times SoCal gets rains, the OEM hydroplanes in somewhat deep puddle of water, don't know if its the brand of tire or if its because it is a low profile tire.
