Hyundai Ioniq 5 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 4 given 58% (235-55-19-)
Driving on mostly town for 15000 spirited miles
Like in all subjective scores, these are relative to the other tires I used on the same car. These were cheap Winter tires (for one Winter) and UHC All-Season Hankook Kinergy 4S. Please also note that my Michelin Primergy 4 are OEM tires for an EV, so they might be different from the retail version of the same model.
Michelin Primergy 4 loses in every category to Hankook Kinergy 4S:

Wet roads: Michelin start to skid unpredictably with quite sudden and nasty understeer and the tire doesn't react to weight transfer when you slow down a bit to load front tires for more grip - the car just keeps sliding until the speed reduces enough. Hankooks feel way more safe in same situations and way more manageable and react to corrections just nicely.

Dry roads: Michelins start to slide quite early (earlier than Hankooks) on a heavy Hyundai IONIQ 5, but are very predictable and forgiving and once they start squealing they are still driveable and react to the steering.

Hot dry roads: I'd expect a Summer tire not to overheat on a hot sunny day, but hey... It is normal when all-season Hankooks start sliding more and become mushy at temperatures around 25-27 C and by 30 C they drop quite noticeably. But Michelins start to slide more at above 30 C, which is surprising. I'd expect a Summer tire to hold to at least 35 C. Of course, the road is way hotter under the Summer Sun. however my next Summer tire will definitely be something that can stand the heat better.

These are mounted on an after market set of rims to New Zealand’s South Island for the winter ski season. From mid June to early October. Only got them in August but I have done 5,000 km on them.
Impression when compared to the OEM Michelin Primacy 4 235/55r19 is a softer stickier compound which does indeed stay softer in lower temperatures such as frosty mornings. The Primacy gave me a couple of scary moments on early morning ice in June (winter down under) so I got the Hankooks for the colder weather. Haven’t had them break loose yet! They are grippy in the dry and being brand new the wet too, possibly more so the pan the Primacy. Tread depth is 7.5mm in the central two grooves and interestingly only 7.0 mm in the outer two. The sipes are not full depth like the Primacy so the wet and snow grip may suffer as they wear. Snow grip was good on lightly dusted ski field roads, also on a muddy slurry overlying gravel roads.
Noise is slightly higher than half worn Primacy he mid frequency range I think but not obtrusive even in the EV.
The only thing that stops me running them all year is the reduction in range. Consumption of power went down from 21 kWh per 100km (adjusted for the 3-4% greater tire size of the Hankooks) to about 18 when I swapped back to the Michelins.
The wheel plus tire weight is I think very similar when both tires are brand new. The Michelins have lost 500g in 40,000km (rotated) which is a loss of 3mm tread from the 6.5mm when new. The Hankooks averaging front and rear have worn about 0.5mm in 5000km but it’s hard to tell accurately yet.
So a good purchase for the winter weather here when we get little snow on the flat, just ice, and are required to use snow chains on ski field roads anyway if it actually snows.
