Hankook Mileage Plus II H725

Consumer Reports includes the Hankook Mileage Plus II H725 in its comparison tests of 15 all-season tires. We don't find any owner-written reviews of this tire, but the manufacturer's official ratings, published at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration site, are useful.

Reviewers recommend the Hankook Mileage Plus II H725 as an excellent budget all-season tire for passenger cars. Tests find it performs almost as well as more expensive tires, and comparison tests at one site find its ride smoother than its pricier brethren. It's noisier, though, and like most all-season tires, it provides poor traction on ice. It gets a B -- the third-highest rating -- on its resistance to heat, but it scores very high for durability and carries an 80,000-mile treadwear warranty. For even better performance on both wet and dry pavement, reviewers favor the more expensive Goodyear Assurance TripleTred (*est. $105).
