Ford Fiesta ST X Tires

I have bought a Fiesta ST-X in 2023 and the car was OEM fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4. From the beginning on the Michelins have had problems with the mechanical grip. I know the car is not that heavy (1199 kg) and the 320 Nm will not help also but this has been compleelty solved by fitting the Hankooks Evo 4, unbelievable how much mechanical grip they have. Now I have sometimes mega oversteer :-) with the rear fitted Michelin's PS4(approx 33000 kms old). The Hankooks are also quiter. The road feedback is a little less but the Fiesta gives plenty of signals so it is a big pleasure to drive spirited also with the Hankooks. Fuel consumption seems to be bit better too, but hey I drive a GTI. Overall I am very pleased by the choice of the Hankooks.

Running CC2s as winter tires on my Fiesta ST X and they are absolutely brilliant.
Had 1 drive through some very snowy alpine roads in a snow storm and it went pretty well. The tires do seem to struggle slightly with slush that's been snowed on, but tbf I've never driven a tire that doesn't.
They're fine in the wet, just a little dead in terms of feedback and fairly understeery...
In the dry I was very impressed with how long I could push on backroads before struggling with temperature. Road feedback is pretty good, but that might be from the lighter rims, not just the tires.
Overall I can highly recommend this tire if you don't have to go through heavy snow regularly.
(Don't know about ice, but I'm sure they'd struggle pretty hard)
