Tires Hankook or Maxxis

eu am avut Hankook kynergy 4s fara probleme pe zapada.

I’m at 220k. About 150k were all pilot sports. The ion evos made an immediate impact in sound and efficiency. These are what I will be going forward with on my vehicles from now on.

Just got the Hankook iON ht installed on my Rivian, as of today, there are five different options for the 21-in Wheels: Michelin Defender LTX M/S2, Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Elect, Bridgestone Alenza Prestige, Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 G018 (all terrain), Hankook iON HT The Yokohama are the only all-terrain option the rest are all season. I personally went with Hankook because of the deal I got and the 80,000 mi warranty.

I had the Hankook ION EV A/S when they first came out on my 2022 Model 3 RWD. Some things to note; Tires lasted just above their tread depth (40K) with rotations every 7K miles, alignment once a year, PSI set to 42 on cold Tires got LOUD as F the last 20K miles before they were worn fully. Like so loud you would think one was flat, but this is stupidly common on all Hankooks I have ever owned even on other vehicles Wh/mi was amazing, average over lifetime was 228Wh/mi during summer, and as low as 175s during winter (in Phoenix AZ)

My 23 had the Hankook OEM tires when I bought it new and changed them with about 45K I believe and they still had tread but one had a slow leak. I consider myself an “aggressive” driver and I only rotated them once in the time. The tech that did it in the parking lot at my office said they didn’t even need rotating. The wear was very even. I went with the Michelin and they are no where near as good as the Hankook. They are worse in wet and dry traction. They howl if there is any hard braking and break loose easily on wet pavement. The Hankooks were also great in the snow (Chicago area) driving 70 miles round trip to the office and back. Very unhappy that I switched. The Hankooks seemed to start getting loud but they wore perfectly even. I will definitely be switching back when the time comes in a year or so. If the Michelins suck in the snow, I’ll bite the bullet and switch back to the Hankooks right away.

On my second set of ion evo’s. First set lasted about 65k miles. Excellent tires.

Mine came with the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 rubber. Only had them for little over 100 miles before switching out to Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3. No opinion on the Hankooks due to limited mileage, other than they seemed OK.

Hankooks- don’t mind them.

I would highly recommend passing up maxxis tires. Those things are so danged slow. Vittoria Mexcals or Teravail oxbows are what I’d look for.

I decided to try a set of Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 because they were suppose to have the foam inside the tires to have less road noise and performance while close to that of PS4S. Boy was I wrong, they weren't that quiet, and the sidewall was soft but made the car super bouncy. Felt like I was driving on some balloon tires for some reason.
