Hankook EV Tires for Model Y

[@mrmeach1967]

This is one of the best done short reviews on a tire that I’ve seen. Bravo. After a recent blowout of a Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 (Tesla’s 20” OEM for the 2021 Model Y LR), I was prompted to shop for tires and quickly came to the conclusion that Tesla’s electric smarts don’t translate to tires. I like it that your review highlights the important stuff without going too deep into the weeds.

Came back and gave this a thumbs up for the dogs! These tires were much quieter than my Pilot Sport All Season 4's. However, they took my 0-60 from 3.45 seconds to 3.56 seconds (including 1ft roll-out). They also took my 60-0 braking from 115ft to 128ft. I have not tested them in the rain, yet. They are identical in efficiency. They are MUCH QUIETER! and the car rides much softer. This is on an EV6 GT, comparing Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires, all in OEM sizing.

I got these in 20” for my MYLR!! They changed my life! I felt like I had an all new suspension. The also run super quiet! No lie these are the bee’s knees’!!

[@itsatrap7215]

Thanks for your comment, I have been wondering what people thought about them. Considering them for my next set of tires.

[@howardlerner4958]

Also got these for my Model Y long range 20 inch tires to replace OEM Goodyear after 30,800 miles. The ride quality seems better as my wife even noticed the Tesla was less harsh on bumpy roads in my town.

[@toddjames604]

Are the 20s the "SUV" designation of the Hankook Ion EV All season?

[@MelissaGarza]

@@toddjames604apparently not sure if it’s just the size difference.

[@saltydog9321]

They're absolutely quieter, they might be smoother riding, but they're much stiffer for turning. They don't want to turn, they want to go straight. It's a different feel, i'll get used to it im sure this a 23 model 3 performance

[@OldManTony]

Tesla have been fitting these as standard on the Chinese made Model Ys supplied to the U.K. Mine was delivered with them at the end of June this year.

[@deniscream]

Thanks for your video! I’ll be replacing my Model Y Performance 21’ wheels with 19’ and these tires.

[@Bazbolly]

Been looking at these for our Ioniq 5, going to give them a try as the foam in our Michelin sport EV has become loose.

[@franktheteslatank]

Thank you very much for the video, I'm also due for new tires and Hankook will be my choice to replace the OEMs (Goodyear).

[@MelissaGarza]

Did the same with my Goodyear tires! They will change your life!! Night and Day difference.

[@williambaxendale7641]

Put a pair on the front of my, originally Michelin shod, Model 3 LR last week. Car feels much more planted, with some improvement to the ride. Guess I’ll replace the Ms with Hankook when wear dictates.

[@chefboyartty]

I'm sold, these will def be my next set of tires.

[@marktiller1383]

I'll take at look at those next time, thanks.

[@jaykid007]

Tnx for thr video. Look forward ro a follow up on wear and yodates pros/cons

[@TheRealMartin]

lol. I'm at 19k miles on my 19" gemini continentals on my Model Y Performance. The back tires are done for lol. Front ones are okay for now. But I, too, will go for the Hankook evo ion as suv. (As for the 21" uberturbines... haven't used them since I got the car.)

[@rickeybarnes6471]

I did the same switch to Gemini wheels with continental tires from my 21 inch Uber turbine wheels on my 2021 YP with p zeros ( back tires only lasted 22,000 at 1100 a pop!😮

[@Geckogold]

Any update videos after a year or so of driving with these tires? How's it like in rain?

[@Chris21709]

Everything is still great. No driving in the rain (San Diego county).

[@417ah7]

These Hankooks have a tread wear rating of 600. Very good. The OEM Continental ProContacts have a tread wear rating of only 400. Should get much better mileage with the new tires.

[@thebub716]

Whoa I just noticed, did you wrap the roof glass of your Model Y to match the body paint? That's so interesting, I've never seen that before.

[@Chris21709]

I live in southern California, where the sun is so intense that the glass roof turns the interior into a solar oven in the summer. Wrapping the glass roof pearl white makes a night and day difference!

[@jayvoltron83]

By the way 2:30 you didn’t do complete stop. There is a STOP sign.

[@nissan_skyline]

Rolling stop is acceptable.

[@1JohnnyCruiser]

So 1 year later how are these tires doing and holding up?

[@Chris21709]

Just went and looked at the tread-great! And grip around turns is still amazing! Still impressed.

[@1JohnnyCruiser]

@Chris21709 awesome. I'll be getting these when my Continentals hit 4/32

[@dmitrysmolyanitsky1166]

What about the w/mi performance? Did it stay the same, improved or decreased?

[@Chris21709]

Sorry, I don't keep track of that. My solar system provides all my electricity year-round (off-grid), so all free for life.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Even though you don't care, could you share your wh/mi since last charge of at least 50 miles? I'm curious to know what you get, even if you drive like a mad man. Lol

[@Chris21709]

In middle of charging now. 307 Wh/mi most recent local driving this morning (cool). 285 Wh/mi which covers the longer trip yesterday with air conditioning on high.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@Chris21709 sounds like it shouldn't hurt my efficiency much lol Might even be more efficient depending how spirited you're driving. Haha Considering my original tires are lasting over 28k miles, I think that's a good sign that efficiency will be better than what you got. Haha That and I got wheel covers that actually make it more efficient. I'm excited. I'll likely be getting a set after my 4000+mile roadtrip to Florida.

[@Muddy_B]

Any experience with performance in the rain?

[@Chris21709]

No rain here until October. 🙂Sorry.

[@Radhatter1]

I’m considering switching to Michelin cross climate 2 now I have stock Tesla MY Hankook any thoughts ?

[@Chris21709]

No experience. I live in southern California where it never goes below freezing, never snows, a little rain in winter (none in summer).

[@2007ess]

@@Chris21709 I had a set of Michelin cross climate on my model X for about 1.5 years. The front tires only lasted about 18k miles while the rear tires are still good. Just replaced them with these Hankook tires.

[@aaronw6706]

Cross climate are not great for range

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

What's your wh/mi average?

[@Chris21709]

Never checked it. Get all my electricity from my solar + battery system so not concerned about efficiency. Did notice yesterday afternoon in very hot weather the charge dropped more than normal with the A/C blasting. 🙂

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@Chris21709 even so, I'm curious what your wh/mi shows on your current/since last charge.

[@Skippy-Jason-Rock]

How do the price of these tires compare to the stock tires?

[@Chris21709]

$256 each where I bought them, including balance and mounting. By stock tires do you mean tires used for gas cars? Prices vary greatly by brand and model. See tirerack.com for discount prices for Michelin, Pirelli, regular Hankook, etc. EV-specific tires are a new thing.

[@Skippy-Jason-Rock]

I mean whatever tesla recommends for tires. Like the tires you'd get if you took it to tesla for service. I haven't had to replace my tires yet on my S

[@Chris21709]

@@Skippy-Jason-Rock Tesla seems to change its OEM tires almost every year as tire tech evolves. Continental > Pirelli (MY), Michelin>Pirelli (MS), Michelin>Hankook (M3). What they put on your car is not what they are putting on the new Model S. I suspect Tesla service would give you a choice, same as an independent tire dealer. Plus all-season or performance, etc.

[@jaykid007]

So Chris how are they so far?

[@Chris21709]

Still liking them a lot!

[@jaykid007]

@@Chris21709 awesome tnx. Getting them next!

[@jesserios9167]

What’s your efficiency?

[@Chris21709]

Never checked. My large solar + battery system provides all the free electricity I use for my car and my all-electric house, so not something I care about. 🙂

What's your wh/ mile average?
