The Tire Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tire scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

I am considering this tire on my Model Y i the size 255/45R20. But then I learn that Hankook have a Ventus ION S coming up in May. But can’t find any info on it, reviews og price. I hope you can enlighten me - and most important, should I wait on the ION S over the EVO3 EV?

Unfortunately I don't have any in depth information on the new iON range, just what is already on the site. I expect the S1 EVO 3 EV to be more performance orientated than the initial tires in the iON range.

Top 3 Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev Reviews

Given 69% while driving a Tesla Model Y rwd (255/45 R19) on mostly motorways for 23,000 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.

Given 93% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range (255/45 R19) on mostly town for 5,000 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.

Given 89% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range (255/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 36,000 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.

Initial Impressions Review
Given 75% while driving a Skoda Elroq 85 Edition (255/50 R19) on for 6,500 miles
6500 miles in, driving a mix of A and B roads mostly very wet with a lot of standing water and sometimes mud. Tires grip well in all the conditions I have experienced so far. The economy so far is good 3.9mkwh in the cold and I think the they are a good choice of tire for EVs at a good price, I would replace them with the same when the time comes.

Given 78% while driving a Skoda Elroq 85 Edition (255/50 R19) on mostly country roads for 2,700 average miles
Early days with these tires 2700miles, (Skoda Elroq 85) but I'm finding that they are performing well. economy is v good ( a mix of A and B roads mostly) and they are proving grippy in both in the wet and dry, happy so far :)

Given 64% while driving a Audi (235/55 R18) on mostly town for 15,000 average miles
Very good handling. Average comfort. Relatively bad wet handling with abrupt loss of grip in wet, but not soaked, road surface. The loss of grip is most prominent in oozy, slimy road surface.

Given 69% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR (235/40 R19) on a combination of roads for 11,000 spirited miles
Came new on my 2020 model 3 LR with boost and have been on for 12 months over 11000 miles. Great dry grip and decent wet grip. Can spin all 4 wheels in the wet relatively easily but can be attributed to the instant torque. Quiet but wears extremely fast - down to 3-4mm all round after only 11000 miles. Switched to Michelin PS4S as previous experience on a M4 shown they wear much slower, rears still at 4mm after >20k miles. Only reason I can see for someone having these tires is either they’re still on their factory set or they need to replace with identical tires as per lease contract.
