Passenger Car Summer Electric Vehicle Tires Tire Review Highlights

Hankook iON Evo rated 61% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
It's a good quiet and comfortable tire for my EV, however the grip is quite limited compared to PS4 or PS5. A bit of an unfair comparison but I feel grip is the most important rather than comfort. Dry grip is just slightly above average, wet grip is average.

Was swerving to avoid an object on the road, the tire screeched loudly and provided just barely enough grip during that situation. If it was ps4 or ps5 in the same situation, there probably will not be any screeching and would have plenty of grip left over.

Sailun ERANGE EV rated 54% while driving a Tesla Model 3 standard plus
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Unfortunately, this tire does not live up to the manufacturer's claims; it is all marketing hype. While the price is low, the quality reflects it and you get what you pay for.

Hankook Ventus iON S rated 87% while driving a Tesla Plaid
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 spirited miles
Michelin that were delivered with the car wore out after approx 20.000 km. I mostly drive on Autobahn and using the Plaid model for that reason as model 3 throttles from 200 km/h. ABS kicks in on all 3 Teslas that I've tested, when driving a bit fast in curves, which seems to create uneven tire tread wear. Hankook ion seems to be better in this is respect than Michelin and Hankook Ventus s1 evo3. And ion also produces less noise than my old Michelin tires. So far ion seems like the better tires for Teslas...

Hankook iON Evo rated 84% while driving a Tesla 2024 Model 3 RWD
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
I recently swapped out the Michelin e Primacy tires that came standard with my vehicle and am thoroughly impressed with my decision. The e Primacy tires were undoubtedly quiet and comfortable, boasting incredibly low rolling resistance. However, their performance in wet conditions left much to be desired. I experienced fish tailing occasionally while navigating curves in the rain, which didn't inspire much confidence in wet weather.

Enter the Hankook Ion Evo. After a 1000km break-in period, these tires have proven to be a noticeable improvement. They offer enhanced comfort and maintain the same serene quietness that I appreciated about the e Primacy. This improvement does come with a slightly higher trade-off in rolling resistance. Typically, on my usual routes, I achieved a minimum energy consumption of 9x Wh/km with the e Primacy. However, with the Ion Evo, this rises modestly to 10x Wh/km.

Despite this, I wholeheartedly recommend the Hankook Ion Evo for daily driving, especially for those prioritizing comfort and performance in wet conditions.

Michelin Pilot Sport EV rated 56% while driving a BMW 218d Active Tourer
Driving on mostly town for 100 average miles
Like other reviewers mentioned, the tires are disastrous in any wet conditions. Just went through a puddle and then my tires would skid in straight line braking… unbelievable

I am a big fan of Michelin PSS tires but this is just not up to par at all. Took delivery of my XPENG G6 OEM tires for only 10 days and now I have to pay 15k to get a new set of tires

The tires are just unsafe stay away from them

Continental PremiumContact C rated 53% while driving a MG mg4
Driving on mostly town for 15000 easy going miles
The PremiumContact-C model was the factory wheel for my 2023 electric MG4. I would never recommend it for rear-wheel drive and electric vehicles. It slips very easily and the abs is activated everytime. It does not give confidence even at low speeds on wet surfaces. When you try to take off quickly, it skids immediately.

Hankook iON Evo rated 80% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Good overall tire, but not great, it's more towards eco with good range and low rolling resistance. Wet grip is not too good, but it's very progressive on the limit. Comfortable tires for daily use.

Michelin Pilot Sport EV rated 45% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 spirited miles
I have these tires on my Tesla Y and till now, I have had 3 tires changed before their end date (first time at 25k km’s) the foam inside would come loose and create some sort of centrifuge effect which stopped me from driving faster then 100kmh, one time for 1500km’s as it started in the south of France and I had to go back to the Netherlands. I don’t trust these tires at all anymore.

Hankook iON Evo rated 83% while driving a Tesla Model 3 Performance
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 average miles
I had the Hankook ION Evo tires installed to replace the stock Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) Elect tires on my Tesla Model 3 Performance.
There are pros and cons compared to the stock Pirelli tires:

Pros:

- Quieter
- More comfortable
- Better grip in rain and wet conditions
- Slightly lighter steering feel
- Slightly easier 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
- Overall sportiness is diminished

For the daily (very) sporty driver, it may not be recommended, but for anyone outside this category, it is definitely worth considering.

Michelin Pilot Sport EV rated 60% while driving a SEAT Cupra Born
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Awful howling cavity noise at around 200hz on anything but the smoothest of roads. I've driven other lower profile tires which were a lot quieter than these. Otherwise an ok performance tire.

Hankook Ventus iON S rated 75% while driving a Tesla Model S
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
After the preliminary review (200 miles - Tesla Model S, 11 Aug 2023) I thought I'd come back with extra thoughts several thousand miles in:

- The efficiency gains is accurate, these helped me get some of the lowest Wh/mile I've achieved in my Model S covering quite some miles in France over the summer, and then over the autumn. I've had my MS for 130k miles so have a good feel on what is achievable, and they did very well.
- They are definitely more refined from a noise perspective.

However - I do drive "enthusiastically" and having driven them a lot more now I can state confidently that these tires are greasier than the PS5s I had before. They are progressive in their loss of grip, so you have good feeling and there's not a moment of surprise where you suddenly lose your back-end, which obviously is a positive, and therefore I was not uncomfortable driving these, but in dry cornering they just don't hold up as well as I would want, and you feel the car sliding a little.

My wife also has a Model S with these tires on. She is not an aggressive driver but she also noticed that they are greasier too.

I've since sold my MS and have a X. When the summer tires on that need replacing I am very unlikely to buy these again (if they even do the size) - I just miss the grip too much. For my wife, we may stick with the Hankook's for the efficiency/noise as she is not an aggressive driver and the cost saving, and refinement/efficiency are probably worth the compromise on grip.

Michelin Pilot Sport EV rated 100% while driving a Skoda
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 average miles
Had these tires fitted to a Skoda Enyaq for 6 months now. 100% delighted with them. I've found them perfect in the wet and same in dry conditions. Much smoother ride than the factory bridgestones that the car came with. No obvious wear on the tires yet so I think the compound of these tires is much more suited to a heavy EV.
