These are a replacement for Bridgestone Alenza 001 on my Nissan Ariya. The main issue with the Alenza being a lack of wet road grip. This has been resolved by the fitment of the Hankook Ion's which immediately have given me the wet traction I desired. They also feel better keyed into the road with more feedback and less understeer. The tires have more foam noise treatment than th Alenza's and appear marginally quieter.
This tire is being used on the Highland revision of the Tesla Model 3, where it's claimed this will bring additional range. I'll be monitoring efficiency and wear rates through the life of the tire. Tread depth starts at 6.8mm which is typical for EV specific tires.
