So I got HANKOOK ION EVO AS SUV 255 /40 R20 101W XL BSW when I needed a replacement. Ride quality has improved but not as good as 19” wheels. It’s also slightly quieter.
I personally would take into account Hankook Ventus Prime 4. Feel like a good tired and I had really good experience with Hankooks in general.
The Hankooks were original equipment on my Envision and I have 67,000 miles on them and are thinking about replacement. I haven't noticed road noise being a concern and I live in Colorado where the roads are terrible.
I’ve been using Hancook evo tires and I’ve loved them
They handle way better in turns. I didn't notice any loss in 4.1 average driving.
I have to say that the ions have been incredible. They’re quieter, they’re softer riding. They seem to have better handling… although to be honest, I’m not one that pushes the limits of the car so I can’t really say a whole lot about grip. I can’t say a ton about where yet because I haven’t had them lot long but I can say that I am currently averaging about 50 to 60°F for a temp and I am averaging 5.5 mi/kW at the moment doing mostly in town commuting.
I made it to 53k miles before I replaced them with Hankook Evos!
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
I upgraded to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AS at 6,000 miles. Money extremely well spent. The car feels like it’s on rails now. getting rid of those kinergys was a must. Terrible tire
Got a set of Hankook with 70k miles warranty. After about 35k miles with mainly local suburban driving, the tread wear is almost to the indicator bar. Don't get Hankook.
