Just wanted to know what everyone is running or wants to run for tires? If you have upgraded the stock tires yet? Went with a different size? I would really like to go with some wide 17s, 245s or 235s. But not really in the budget, thinking about getting Hankook v12 evos in stock size to replace the stock all seasons. There's already a wheel thread so figured everyone can discuss tires here.

Sticking with the stock hancooks until they have no tread and then maybe look into some straight summers as opposed to all seasons. This fall however I will be getting some Nokian Hakkapellita 8 Studded tires for the harsh Saskatchewan winters, I'm thinking of downsizing to a 16 from 18 though for the winter. Have more sidewall to grip into the snow and ice better.

Once the stock run out, I'll move to the Cooper RS3-A Performance All Seasons. Same 18's, may go a touch wider.

Yeah I was thinking of going with like a 235 40 18 on stock wheels but it seems prices go up quite a bit compared to he 225 40 18, it's a more common size I guess. Not sure if it's worth the price difference. 17s seem to be cheaper than stock sizes, even 245 40 17s look cheaper than stock sizes but then you got to buy new wheels too. has anyone upgraded tires yet.
BTW I currently have 16x7 core racing wheels with 205 55 16 studded winter forces. Hey are great in the winter but do suck on days like today since it has warmed up. Can't wait to put 18s back on.

Hmm that's strange. Maybe since you guys are back east?
Must be something in the Hankook tire that Cali says causes cancer.

Hankook here in Florida as well. Interestingly, my wife's 2015 Sedona has Kumho Crugens. I get tires for life from my dealership, so I'm kinda hesitant to upgrade at this point. I bet down the road I'll want better handling and I'll end up upgrading.
