Tires Hankook or Pirelli

I have All-season Hankook Ion EVOs on my 2025 MYP (original tires) and live in Minnesota where it snows quite a bit in the winter. It is my second winter with them and they handle snow beautifully. I’m at 22 K miles on them and still have plenty of thread left

I have Hankooks on one car and Goodyears on the other. If you don't drive in the snow, get the Hankooks. If you do, the Hankooks are downright terrible.

Huge fan of the hankook ION evo, definitely improves cabin sound and drive quality on my Tesla Model 3 performance

I would probably go with the Hankook regarding price/performance

I drive a Golf, I bought Hankook Winter i*cept rs2 5 yrs ago and they were really great.

I personally love the Pirelli Scorpion AS 3 tires. Great overall performance and a 70k mile warranty. I’ve put them (and the AS 2) on 2 of my trucks (07 F150 King Ranch and 20 RAM 1500 Limited) , Chevy Cruze LTZ and Equinox LT AWD.

Finally found the cause of the random jumping and wiggling at speed. Had the wheel & tires balanced 2 times before finally deciding to change the set. The foam padding on the original factory pirelli tires has dislodged and was probably causing uneven balance.

I got Pirelli P-Zero’s. Meh…. They just came with the Tesla rims. Ok, but I would have went with a Nokian. The pirellis are quiet, smooth run flats…. But the grip is nothing special.

Pirelli deserves A LOT more criticism for what they're doing. No tire should last almost the entire race distance, ever.

Absolutely hated them on a ‘26 R1S. Only lasted three weeks before I threw them in the basement and paid another $4k to swap for 20” wheels and Goodyears. The ride sucked. Very bumpy, felt every imperfection in the road, and All Purpose soft was no comfort.

The efficiency is much higher than the AT or AS options, but an average of 1.9kwh v. 2.5~kwh is worth how much better the ride is now.

Only keeping the 22” wheels in case I decide to throw some Michelins on eventually to see if it was just those Pirellis. These stock tires are getting tossed.

I will also say that when I had the SC swap wheels and tires, they found the stock Pirellis were *very* unbalanced.

It was like 36, 25, 12, 22 and the alignment was very jacked up as well. Can’t believe they signed off on that before delivery.
