I’ve done some apples to apples comparisons and they show a slight advantage for the Hankooks over the OEM rubber.
On May 4th, went to see Guardians of the Galaxy V3 with my son. On the way home (a mix of highway and surface streets), I averaged 50 mph and hit a max of 85 mph over 12.4 miles. This was around 10 o’clock at night with minimal traffic. 221 wh/mile according to Tessie.
The exact same trip, at roughly the same time last night after Across the Spider Verse. Averaged 50 mph, 82 mph max, minimal traffic: 217 wh/mile.
I’ll need to do more testing, but the quietness alone of the tires (even on the highway) is like night and day, and we’ll worth the upgrade.
Also forgot to mention that I applied for the $100 rebate, which will take my total out of pocket cost below $1,000.
