255/45 19 Tire Review Highlights

Hankook iON FlexClimate rated 83% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range
Driving on a combination of roads for 4500 spirited miles
Had these fitted to a Model Y about 4 months ago, just as good in the summer if not better than the Hankook Ventura S1 Evo that came on the car. With the recent snow/ice we have had they have been impeccable, while others skidded into kerbs and were unable to climb steep slopes or pull out of junctions we managed to go round them no problem. Fresh snow, no problem. Icy car parks where it’s almost impossible to walk on, no problem. More importantly they managed to stop the car like it was dry.
Well done Hankook, they do what they say they will.
The only problem is being stuck behind everyone else with their part worn slicks.

Laufenn S Fit AS rated 61% while driving a Tesla Model Y rwd
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 spirited miles
I bought a Tesla Model Y rear wheel drive, 2 years old which had a new pair of these Laufenn on the rear wheels only.
Good in the dry but they lose traction in the wet something crazy, I’m not sure if this is a Tesla thing with the instant high torque but I have to be very cautious when it’s greasy, I will probably swap these with the Hankook’s on the front before next winter here in New Zealand.

Kumho Ecsta PS91 rated 58% while driving a Volkswagen Tiuan R Line
Driving on mostly motorways for 700 average miles
Had Pirelli scorpion verde originally on my SUV which were a high performing tires. Had to change due to wear and decided to give the Kumho a try. Ill be brief, this is a very sluggish tire which will make your car feel heavy and demand more power during acceleration. If you’re looking for performance tires this isnt the one. This is more of a day to day commute tire.

Tracmax X Privilo TX3 rated 93% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 spirited miles
Fitted to Tesla Model Y as I had a blowout of the original Hankook S1 Evo3 tire.

Whilst these are not sound absorbing tires, they are quieter than the sound absorbers.

An excellent feel in wet or dry & at £95 fitted, are a great replacement.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev rated 93% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range
Driving on mostly town for 5000 average miles
The tires came oem with tesla model y and to my pleasant surprise, a person that has never tried hankook tires, they are very good. They grip well in the dry and in the wet they also grip ok. Unfortunately these are not tires for very rough roads.

Pirelli Scorpion All Season SF2 rated 60% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range
Driving on mostly motorways for 6000 spirited miles
I got these tires for my Tesla Model Y. Pretty happy with the overall performance except in wet, the car is sliding all over when driving slightly faster on winding roads, like on ice. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I never experienced something like this before.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev rated 69% while driving a Tesla Model Y rwd
Driving on mostly motorways for 23000 average miles
Original tires on my Tesla model y rwd, grip good on dry, but on wet very slippy. Today is 8 celsius degree, I run them back home on wet, they slip every time when I accelerate. They run 37000km now and according to the tread depth 4mm left, they should be able to last for 50000km, quite durable. They are hard tires, steering quick, but bounce a lot, maybe any other tire will be more comfy than these.

Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season rated 75% while driving a Lincoln 2019 Continental 3.0 AWD
Driving on mostly motorways for 2500 average miles
Have put them on for 4000 kms and now performing well in winter. Enough grip on intermediate snow as all season tire, excellent on dry surfaces, and not bad for aqua planning. They're pretty balanced for different temperatures, at least working well from 20 to -20.

Continental PureContact LS rated 58% while driving a Lincoln 2019 Continental 3.0 AWD
Driving on mostly town for 24850 easy going miles
Used them on 17 Lincoln Continental AWD for 40000kms. They are good when new but after 2 years they wear out lack grip a lot and need be replaced. Poor traction on snow even though it said as all all-season tire, no traction at all on ice. Don't try using them in winter (I used them in Vancouver with not much snow).

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev rated 89% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range
Driving on a combination of roads for 36000 average miles
Came new on my 2022 Model Y LR, changing them after 57'000 km and residual 0,5 cm tread.
Good dry grip and decent wet grip, these tires are quiet and with a low wear.
Good value for money, I am fully satisfied and I have ordered an identical set of tires.

Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 rated 90% while driving a Tesla Model Y Perf
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
I run this tire on a Model Y Performance in 19' and occasionally drive the tire to the limit. On the wet this tire is excellent no mater what you demand from it, and I have to praise a very progressive transition to slip so the tire is very easy to drive on the limit. Snow handling is very good, but if you are for max traction there are better winter tires. On the dry the tire is just OK, and as a negative I have to mention a rather low grip under braking (cornering is OK). Comfort is OK, and although I use it on EV (no sound absorbing foam version) there are no strange sounds (howling at certain speeds) and sound levels are OK.

Pirelli Scorpion rated 74% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan
Driving on mostly country roads for 16000 average miles
Coming from a hot Audi hatchback, it was clear to me that trying to drive my new plug-in hybrid SUV in a spirited way was pointless. The tires aided to this as the feedback is average and rather imprecise in the corners when pushing with 245hp on the front wheels. Further to this, the tires lose grip easily when you are facing uphill and trying to start moving from a stand, especially in the wet. They are not a looker either, if that matters to you.

Comfort is where the tires excel! The profile is rather low for this kind of vehicle, but the puddles are a joke and, I recon, the suspension is not the only one to thank. Also, I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with the ride quality and the lack of noise on the motorway. These tires will be appreciated by BEV owners who travel long distances. Although I am not impressed by their performance in the wet, I must note that they behaved very safely in instances of aquaplaning. Finally, the wear is very good. 16,000 miles and they are good as new.
