I’ve winter-driven my F82 a couple seasons now, and the SottoZero 3s are honestly solid they’re not as ice-grippy as the Michelin Alpin 4s you ran, but they hook well enough in packed snow and feel way more stable than you’d expect on a big-power RWD car. The only thing I noticed is the Bridgestones feel a bit firmer on cold pavement, but nothing crazy.
When you do your full set next year, the Hankook Ion or Goodyear ElectricDrive feel way better on EVs than the OEM Michelins in my experience.
Very happy with the Hankook ion Evo AS SUV on the Ariya. The grip is much better in all conditions, even snow. Very quiet, and range has been similar to the Dunlops.
Alpin 5s are awesome. Never an issue in as much as 4-6" of snow.
If you have issues with your current tires, consider getting a all weather tire like CrossClimate 2s.
the Ariya the best upgrade over the mediocre factory tires is the Michelin CrossClimate 2 (EV-friendly sizes) they handle the weight and torque way better, ride quieter, and you’ll notice way less range drop compared to cheaper options.
Grip will be more than fine. Nice soft compound. Performance will be lovely. At first. They will not last. Structural failures before tread is used up, are common. But new is better than old, so if that's what you can afford, go for it.
They were fine for my mini cooper in Southern California. I’d get the warranty tho!
My experience with the Perelli stock tires was that they wore out at 19,000 miles, required numerous puncture repairs, and during their first test backcountry, the sidewall blew out, leaving me stranded.
A Laufenn tire may be made by Hankook, but it isn't the quality level of Hankook and isn't just the same tire with a different name on the side of it. I heard a Hankook rep joke he wouldn't put Laufenn tires on his ex-wifes car because they were just that bad.
