Tires Hankook or Pirelli
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
All new Pirelli Cinturato C3 on 19 inch are amazing. They are quiet, super gripy and predictable. And the sidewall is really cool.
The Pirellis are a tremendous improvement on dry pavement. I tried flooring it from a stop, and no wheel spin. Amazing difference. I haven't driven them in rain yet. I will say that they tramrail a bit.
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
Pirelli's are junk, id switch to some Michelins.
Mine came from Berlin with PZeros (my M3LR had Pilot sports 4S´es) liked the michelin much more, Pzero is a garbage tire.
But it is decent, not a lot of roadnoise, so that is key.
