Traded in my 2011 Corolla, as I just couldn't stand commuting 3 hours per day in it for any longer. Got a great deal on a CPO 2016 Sonata SE, world of upgrade in every way.
Only downside to this car is it has garbage Hankook Kinergy GT tires. The tire size is somewhat rare, Pirelli doesn't seem to make them (205/65/16 95H). Since its not critical to get the tires replaced, I'm trying to decide what tire I should keep an eye on for sales on this car. I'd love to know the community's preferences between these tires:
BF Goodrich Advantage TA Sport
Michelin Defender T + H (a little wary based on the reputation the GreenX had for horrible treadware)
Continental PureContact EcoPlus
General Altimax RT43
Price is not a huge constraint, but don't feel this car needs ultra premium tires either. Priorities are comfort on a 50 mile round trip daily commute, and around town with occasional longer drives on the weekend. I don't use winter tires since I can work from home and don't need to regularly drive in it, but something that handles snow well is also a plus. I drive conservatively, so performance isn't a factor.
