I recently installed Hankook ion I*cept winter tires on my Tesla Model 3 RWD, and they have significantly outperformed the original tires. They're noticeably quieter and offer superior grip, especially in winter conditions. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable winter tires.
Thanks for the video, recently put on the Hancock EVO all season on my model Y, 3 months in and 1 road trip, I really like these tires, much better than the original tires. Tire design is nice. Haven’t judged yet what it’s done for range. But warranty is much better than the Michelin EV tire. which is roughly the same cost. Car brakes really good even when charging compared to my other model Y with 10k on factory tire.
I went with the Sailun ERange EV Touring "18 on my 3, literally half the price at $150 each at the Walmart, with 40k warranty. I would say they're quieter and softer rolling than the stocks.
I just purchased the Model Y Performance Quicksilver White interior. Ordered quite a few accessories on Tesmanian, Tparts (used GJEEBS code) and Vion (used GJEEBS code). Ordered UP rear adjustable arms with Kirk and mentioned you during our conversation. My Model Y came with the 21' Hankook ION EVOs.
Thanks for the review, but I'll stick to my Goodyear Eagles F1 for EVs. Love these tires. They're quiet and grip like a tiger. I've had Hankooks which means Korea in their language before and those things slid all over the place in the rain.
I just drove a Model Y for 2 weeks in July. 19 inch standard wheels and seems Tesla has fitted Goodyear ElectricDrive as standard tires on Model Y's. All I can say is, compared to my 2020 Model 3 SR on Michelin Pilot Sport 5, the Goodyear tires are silent! Significantly quieter to the point that i don't hear any tire noise at all! I think you should consider the Goodyear ElectricDrive as another alternative. After all, Tesla is using them as standard on Model Y.
Losing 44lbs of reciprocating weight should make your model y feel about 370lbs lighter. The car will stop, accelerate and handle better. Your testing proves this to be true.
Hey Gjeebs! I just got the Hankook ION Evo AS SUV tires on my 2025 MYP. I was surprised bc I thought I was going to the Michelin Pilot 4 or the Pirelli P Zero like I had on my 21. Kind wish I still had a performance tire bc I just replaced them before I traded my 21 in 😂, but these definitely feel more comfortable and quieter. I just don’t have the grippy quickness of the performance tire. I think in the long run, warranty and range help will benefit more. Just surprised these were coming stock now. I searched a few videos on this and of course yours came up as a review. Thanks for more insight.
Nice! Yea I saw these coming on new performance models which I actually like because most people need all season as opposed to a high performance summer on an SUV . Congrats on the new car!
I have the Goodyear Eagle F1s and thinking about making the switch. Currently my range at 100% on my 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range is 315 miles. Did you see a change in range when you switch to these tires? If so, what were the mile ranges before and after? Did you keep original wheels?
Between these and the Bridgestones, which one did you like more? I have a Mach E GT and need to get new tires and I narrowed my selection down between the two
Michelin's are Noisy! I have the Pilot Sport 5 and have also driven the Pilot sport EV on a Model Y. Both have very apparent tire noise. Then I drove a Model Y with 19 inch standards for 2 weeks with Goodyear Electric Drive. Couldn't hear a thing from the tires! Comfort is great too!
@gjeebs, are these Hankook ION EV AS or Hankook ION EV AS SUV? Debating if I should get the SUV version or not. I live in SoCal with trips to mountains often during winter for snowboarding and am a spirited driver during the summer so I’d like to have as much performance as possible out of these all season.
@ They came stock on my 2024 MYP. I’m not sure if it’s the tire itself, but they could get kinda squirrelly at times on highway offramps at speed. Could be the low profile tire with a lot of stretch…stretched tires cannot deform and mate with the road surface as well. Yokohama “ultra high performance” tires on 19x10.5” square setup feel glued to the road but have horrendous droning/resonance. Will try hankooks on the 19s without all the stretch and report back.
Too much fluff in this video. So much time on the Unplugged Performance wheels instead of the tires. Video begins at 3:32. Efficiency charts at 5:17. Noise/Decibel test 8:35. 0-60s: 7:00.
Hey, I am super interested in fixing the negative camber on my 2023 Tesla Y LR. Did you change the camber yourself? Did you change them for the front and rears? What camber did you buy and from where?
You can also check out an option from n2itive. I'm in Southern California and my local shop recommended those. It came out to $845 out the door, and that included parts, install and alignment. Similar setup from UP would have been about $105 more, plus the local UP shop was much further away from me. I think both options are good, and much better than nothing! Always good to have options
Just installed the iON EVO AS SUV on my Model X (staggered 20's), and holy crap these are QUIET and SMOOTH compared to the Contisilent I replaced. Range has slightly improved as well, but mostly it's a comfort and sound level improvement. Let's hope they last.. I got about 40,000mi on the Continentals so I'm shooting for 50k on these..
Have you driven them in the rain/wet surface yet? I'm curious how they perform. Some people have posted they have a little slippage in the rain. Is that your experience?
@@jhar02 I haven’t encountered any loss of traction under any circumstance so far. I’m going on almost a year with them installed. Ive driven in light snow pretty well, rain handles great, dry handles great. I’ve taken them to a track day as well and got them up to some decently deep triple digit speeds and they just grab. Excellent tires.
Can anyone comment on overall comparison of Hancook Ion Evos ($258 at Tire Rack/Discount Tire) to Michelin CrossClimate2 ($305 at Tire Rack/Discount Tire) for those of us living in northern climates with 2-3 months of snow?
It might be tough get some real world experience with the Hancook's with how new they are, but everyone in Minnesota loves the CrossClimate's. They actually have the 3 peak mountain snowflake rating so I would guess they would be better in snow, but with a slight range hit vs the possible boost the Hancook's might provide.
I called Hankook US HQ in Nashville last week. I asked if the Hankook ION FlexClimate (with 3 Peak certification) launched in Europe last Fall would be available in US later this year. Unfortunately, the answer was no.😩
Question for ya. I’ve seen other blogs saying upsizing tires can void the warranty, is this true? They tout on the Y performance upsizing the tires in front to 275s and rears to 295s.
For the model Y, I have the 20-in induction wheels and did you get the hankook ion EV or the Hancock ion EV SUV tires? 2022 model Y long range 20 inch induction wheels
If you have not installed yet, price match them vs n2itive at whatever shop is installing. They both seem to be good/similar. Your installer may get a deal on one vs the other depending on how much business they do. I was about to go with UP, then I stumbled across a video of a shop speaking with a rep at n2itive on UA-cam. Turns out the shop was the next town over, and the price came in just over $100 cheaper for n2itive vs UP.
You know talk is talk. You have a horn in your car and you can save that uphill driving video footage just by pressing the horn... But thanks for the video, helped me on my tire development process.
Alignments for Tesla are a big problem as they require special equipment. What retail tire companies do Tesla alignments. IE Tire Kingdom. Firstone, etc and do they sell hankook Evo;s????
@@brhutchi I got 26K in 2 years on the OG 18's. I switched to some T-Sportline wheels and Michelin AS4's for the next 3 years and I got 34K on them. Range had dropped a good bit. After just over 2k miles on the Hankook I've brought my range up a decent amount.
Ev tires are more rigid than regular Tyres to accommodate the extra weights , so they bend less under pressure like in acceleration or hard breaking ,so it's not surprising they beat a regular uhp tyre in an acceleration test.
You apparently have never seen a true drag racing tire sidewall wrinkling at the drag strip. For street tires, you actually reduce tire pressure to better traction.
A Performance tire is going to affect high speed handling/cornering/braking, get sticky when hot.. Any tire that doesn't break loose will give you a good 0-60. Your improvements are most likely attributes to the decrease in rolling resistance of the smaller diameter tires and the weight loss of the sweet a** wheels Fitz
Hey Ben: I can’t recommend these anymore. I’ve had them for 9K miles but just had a Flat on a highway in Florida. The Tire Shops here said can’t be patched because of the sound deadening foam inside the tire. So had to replace the tire. Really lousy. Don’t think I’m buying these again until Hankook can figure out how these can be patched.
UPDATE: I am still loving these tires and you can get them on Amazon: amzn.to/3xWiHOP

What about range ? Less ?
I just got these and They're amazing. LOVE THEM!
Have you noticed efficiency improvements?.. also sound?

@@Ishforreal After 20k miles, I would say I still have another 20 left on them. Not sure about the road noise, seem fine. Will buy them again.
love the transition to sponsor :)

I saw they are shipping them with the Hankook ION evo's. Pretty cool!
Thanks for the review. I've been curious about these Hankooks and if they were any good.
Thank you very much. Your review helped cement my decision in choosing Hankook over other tires.
Yea you will be very happy with these

How do these compare to the Pilot sport all season 4 when it comes to driving dynamics and grip

After all, negative camber is not just about tire wear, but improves grip in turns
All this talk about unsprung weight has me clearly sprung.
👀
🫦
Northern Texas is where they coined the term "blizzard." Gets pretty bad in the Panhandle sometimes.
How do they compare to the Michelin Pilot Sport EVs? Currently torn between the Hankooks and the Michelins.
Michelin's are Noisy! I have the Pilot Sport 5 and have also driven the Pilot sport EV on a Model Y. Both have very apparent tire noise. Then I drove a Model Y with 19 inch standards for 2 weeks with Goodyear Electric Drive. Couldn't hear a thing from the tires! Comfort is great too!
What app were you using to get your acceleration times? I've tried a few but they were useless.

These are the SUV version
@@Gjeebs looks like the stock size for the 20s only come in SUV anyways. Thanks!
@@warrior15r I should have a dedicated video out on these Thursday with real data
Hoping you test tires for model 3 now that you have access to the model 3
How much of the improvements were actually from the new wheels with less unsprung weight?
How’s the grip on the Hankooks compared to a performance/“ultra high performance” tire?
It's not as grippy but it's fine for the street

What wrap is that on the hood?
Another great video.
do the tesla center caps fit into the up03 wheels?
those wheels look very nice, do they have a name? in Europe want them for model 3
They are the UP-03's from unplugged performance
Where did you buy them? Dead ends trying to find them here in NC.
Discount Tire. Have you tried Tire Rack? They will ship right to you for free
Can I use these on a non ev car ?
I had a lease company add Hankook ION Flxxclimate tyres to my Cupra Born ev, they destroyed the efficiency of the car vs the Bridgestone Turnaza 6.
How do you run your car while the tires are sent to Hankook for determination of your warranty coverage??
Hi Gjeebs, would you say a camber kit is needed for the Model Y?
It's not needed just helps with tire wear
