Last thread I could find was from 2018 and didn't get the answer I'm searching for so here goes! My Camry has 235/45/18 Hankook tires that came on it from Toyota. (Not a fan) Don't need any real soon but was hoping to see if anyone has found a good grippy yet quiet tire in this size? I remember loving Kumho's back in the day but that was a long long time ago and I was also young and dumb so maybe they weren't good then either lol Don't get much snow in eastern NC so not worried about winter tires. Like I said before grip and quietness are key but I do drive in the rain here and there so wet grip is also important. Thank you in advance!

I have the Hankook's as well at 21,xxx miles and still at about 6.5/32nds, should be able to get at least 50K miles. Could be your roads that cause the rapid wear?
I got these for the wife's car from Costco and they're a solid tire with good overall grip and ride with long treadwear warranty plus Costco will do free rotations and tire repairs for the life of the tires.
You have to think about where you live. How are the climates, does it rain, snow, where you live? Personally for me I'd steer clear of those yokohamas and BF goodrich since the UTQG rating is quite low which means you'll chew through those in no time, low tread life. The Yokos won't have that great a wet traction as it's designed for summer/dry temperatures. Unless you like forking over $700-800 for new tires every year and money is no object.
The reason I suggested the Continentals as they are a good balance of wear and grip in the wet and dry plus they'll last much longer than the yoko/BF goodrich. Do more research on tirerack and make sure you get a tire that fits your local climate is probably your best best. Any good all season tire should do fine.

I've had zero issue with the Hankooks that came on the car, much quieter than the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinums I had on my previous car.
I had a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS on another car that had a real good ride with great grip in the dry and wet.
