Yes, it is worth it to spend more money. They will last longer, be more comfortable, have more grip, and make less noise.
My favs: Hankook kinergy PT last forever. Michelin crossclimate 2 are great in weather. Uniroyal tiger paw are a decent bargain.
Just installed on EQE SUV. OEMs were Cooper Crossrange Discoverer…they were run flats. I thought the ride quality would improve…it really didn’t, they are rather stiff too, as are all EV tires now. That said, they are growing on me. The ride is more controlled, the sounds emanating from the tires are more hushed over bumps, but you’ll feel them. The highway noise is mostly hushed, though slightly louder over coarse surfaces. I think overall this is a good tire. Hankook did their homework on this one. They do handle very well, and…this is a good looking tire as tires go.
Yes, they are good for the price. They last a while, but aren’t as grippy as other 200tw tires.
They do give great driver feedback due to stiff sidewalls, but this comes at the addition of road noise.
On track they come up to temp nice, and are gentle as they reach the edge of traction. They also don’t turn to ice when overheating, they just slowly start getting slippery.
Overall for the price, if you can only afford 1 set of tires, I’d recommend.
Swapped out the 255/40 Michelin PS4 EVs for 255/45 Hankook Ion Evos. Straight away noticed they’re more comfortable and quieter. Fills the arch better too.
Hankook ion evo's are a bit quieter than the Yokohama I had before, but have same efficiency
I put Hankook Ion Evos on my M3P with the 20" wheels. They were quieter than the pirelli summer tires buy about 2-3 dbs. When I put them on at 29,000 miles my lifetime energy use was 265. After 5,000 miles use is at 240.
I really like my Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 summer tires. Rides great, quiet, seems to stick really well.
One review says it's quiet, but the other review says it's loud:
I never realized how bad the Kinergy GT's were until I got some Continental DWS06's. They really are a terrible tire OP, definitely worth replacing altogether
