Tires Hankook or Vredestein
I started with the khumos on a wind AWD, have the hankook’s now. The hankooks are way better in standing water/rain, and are stiffer overall. This leads to a little more road vibration but is not a major complaint. The khumos also wore out faster. Efficiency wise the hankooks are very very close but slightly less
I have the hankook's on 20's. Expensive. No issues.
I have the hankooks- they’re awesome. Will be buying again when they wear out. Had them about a year now and no issues. Way better in rain than the alenzas. My range went up with the hankooks.
I have no idea about the Kumhos, but I have the Hankooks. They're nice and quiet, although I feel like they're a bit more firm as a tire compared to the Alenzas it came with.
In average, max sustained, and peak db level in the cabin, the Hankooks were anywhere between .5 db and 2.5 db quieter than the Scorpions.
My 24 MYP came with Hankook Ion Evo SUV. They are new tires from Hankook specifically designed for EVs, so only time will tell about tread life, but really like them
Ion Evo A/S has a softer and quieter ride. they don't stick like Michelin's off the line and in the corners, but would easily pick Hankooks again
we went with hankook because discount tire carries them, and we have been buying tires from discount for 20+ years. so far, smooth and quiet, and nice range increase
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
These tires are not great. My GTI I bought had them on and I’m just riding them out. This will be their last season. They’ve been loud the entire time I’ve had them and aren’t great on any road condition.
