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.
I've had the Hankook Ion Evo AS on my SE for the last week. Much quieter than the Ventus S2 that were replaced. Really liking them so far. Same efficiency this week on my normal commute as the Ventus S2 were getting me.
The stock tires kind of suck, but I think people here overblow how bad they are. They're acceptable for daily driving, but a lot of people who buy these cars like to drive them like racecars from time to time and in that regard they are pretty terrible.
My first time in the rain was the nail in the coffin it's straight up irresponsible that VW put those things on our cars. It's a shame but mine didn't last 1000mi before I got rid of them and that's only because I waited for a sale.
Only fly in the ointment seems to be the OEM tires, Hankook Kinergy GTs. I've noticed, in the very short time we've had the car, that they are noticeably noisier than the Cooper Endeavors we had on our trade in, and the Michelin Cross Climate 2s we have on our other car.
