Tires Hankook or Shinko

If endurance consistency and value are what you're looking for, it's Hankook rs4. Slower than the ecf but similar tires, cheaper and more tread life

Just got the Hankook iON EVO AS SUV on my 23 LR Y. The car came with the Goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 5 and they always seemed noisy and not super comfortable. After a couple days of driving with the hankooks I can definitely say they are MUCH more smooth and comfortable than the Goodyears. Yes I know I only have a few days on them so far but very impressive so far.

I installed Hankook ION EV AS tires at MIDAS - 25% cheaper than at the KIA dealership and free tire rotation for life. So far, they are great tires.

Hankook Ion EVO AS. They just released these specifically for EVs.

It has made my car so much better in terms of road noise and comfort. It beats out the Pilot 4S in every aspect except stopping strength. I had to get used to the longer stopping distance but that was easy. Weirdly enough, it seems to handle corners better because there is less skidding.

I would recommend the Hankook Ion Evo A/S I have them on my Model S, very little road noise, very Efficient and has low rolling resistance as designed.

If we are willing to go SLIGHTLY off-size, there are Hankook Ion Evo tires. You would have to get 215/50/R17 because they technically dont offer the factory size. Good reviews, good price, efficient, and they have a rebate right now.

I have had 2 pairs of hankooks and multiple others. I think the hankooks are 90% the tire that the hakapelitas are for about half of the price.

For those who are interested, I had the Hankook ION Evo (Summer) tires installed to replace the stock Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) Elect tires on my Tesla Model 3 Performance ('22). There are pros and cons compared to the stock Pirelli tires, in my opinion:

Pros:

- Quieter (especially on highways)

- More comfortable (damping on uneven road surfaces, but uneven road surfaces also less noticeable in the steering)

- Better grip in rain and wet conditions

- Slightly lighter steering feel

- Slightly easier full acceleration straight of the line

- More efficient (+/- 1% less battery consumption per trip)

Cons:

- Steering feel and response are less direct

- Grip during hard cornering is not great (at least, the limit is simply lower than with the Pirellis)

- Overall sportiness is diminished

My tires sounded like a mack truck. Removed them at 15k and replace with continentals.

It's quiet but bouncy.... I have always had Michelin pilot sport AS or 3+ on my other teslas and have always loved them. It's been about 2-3 weeks on these hankoooks, thinking of trying to do a return if possible. I prefer a firmer ride
