Remember the drivers that would try to get the most mileage out of their ice vehicles and they would actually do techniques such as coasting downhills without accelerating things like this.I wonder if those same techniques can be applied to the EVs

One of the biggest issues I've noticed is typically people who buy and drive EVs are typically the opposite of a "car guy" so things like tire pressures is never addressed by EV owners, they just get in and drive and wonder why their tires are prematurely worn. When we picked up our model Y and 3 the pressures were set at 43 psi which makes sense because higher pressure is normal for heavier vehicles. I believe the sticker on the door calls for 42 PSI which is 10 PSI higher than your typical ICE car. Something an ICE driver has to adjust too in heavier vehicles. I've kept our tires at 43 to 44 PSI and the tire wear is almost flat across the tread. Both cars are at 12,000 miles now so Ill be rotating the tires again this weekend. Also tire pressure goes up and down dramatically with the climate so always stay on top of your pressures. Tire pressure and proper alignment will keep your tires from wearing as badly on the inside edge like the examples in this video regardless of tire brand.

The weight of a Tesla Model 3 (highland standard range) is about the same as that of a BMW 330i, so I would not expect any different tire wear.

Just replaced the tires on our 2019 Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD after they lasted almost 60,000 miles! Got over $400 off the new set as these tires have an 80,000 mile warranty, and unlike most brands, they actually honor the warranty and give you free money towards the new set if they wear out before the warranty. If you're curious what tires I have, I made a video about the tires I use on my KZread. They increase our range with low-rolling resistance, and they wore evenly too 😎

i came from a ram 1500 to a lightning and i think there is only a couple hundred pounds difference

People's right foot, and checking pressures makes far more of a difference. And EVS are only about 10% heavier, so that's not such a big factor. We have a MY Performance, and the Michelin tread is only approx 50% worn after 40,000km (25,000 miles). That's with zero rotations in that time.

Really enjoy the Ion EVO's. Had them on my LR RWD 3 for just over 10 months and almost 9K miles. Over all WH/Mi has dropped by 4.

The factory tires (Continental) on my M3 AWD with the acceleration package lasted 37K miles. I made the mistake of never checking the car alignment, and if I had, those tires would've lasted at least 42K miles. All of them were also repaired after some punctures. Now the car is running on Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 Performance, amazing tires they don't have foam and the noise reduction is so much better than the Continental with foam in them. The car is close to 49 k miles no issues and happy with the performance specially on raining conditions

Some brands offer mileage warranties which come in very handy as you burn through tires. With regen, an EV is always either applying motive traction or braking when regenerating. It is always under a fore or aft traction load, and the weight of the car is more than most ICE cars, so tire wear is always an issue with EVs, even with a light foot or even on a Bolt.

Depends on how you drive

BMW 3 series and Mercedes C Class are far heavier than the Tesla Model 3.

Nice to see some other tire manufacturers getting into this space. The Pilot Sport 4S with the Tesla sound deadening treatment that came on my new Model S Plaid were incredibly quiet, but they also got destroyed WAY too quickly. I know I can do the camber link kits on the car, but I'd much rather just find a quiet, grippy tire that can get the job done.

Camber adjustment is what would really help with handling, especially if you do put a sticky tire on it.

Thanks for the video, Kim. I don't need new tires yet, but have bookmarked this video for when I do.

I bought these last December for a road trip from Florida to Maine for my 2023 M3P and I can't believe the added range. They are a lot greasier than the Pirelli's that came with it but for daily driving, they are great. I have Michelin's new EV tires on my wife's Y and haven't noticed any range increase or durability difference yet. Will probably get Hancook for her's next.

In Australia: I get my wheel alignment checked and adjusted every three months, plus they put nitrogen in the tyres instead of normal air. The tyre place offers free nitro top up any time but because nitrogen is a larger molecule, I never have to adjust the tyre pressure ever.

We like our hankook ions for our x and 3P .. just took 7000mi roadtrip..handled all season weather conditions well

*Wow! You sold me.*

I use Hankook for ages, naturally when I bought a model S75D, I fitted the ion ones 😊

Any thoughts and/or comparisons with the Sailun Erange EV tires? They're offered at a local shop near me with 50K warranty.

I buy the cheapest tires that will fit my model 3 lr 2021 ($80) I can buy 2 or more of these compared to $250 or more for the EV tires. The $80 are a little noisier, last 25k miles.

Definitely will keep in mind thanks

Sounds like good tires for my Yukon xl

Another good tip: drive in chill mode and tire chewing problem solved

I’m coming up on 42,000 miles on the original tires on my Tesla model Y long range and will probably get 50k. Part of the equation has to do with how you drive. I also rotate them myself every approximately 8K

Costco has good deals on EV tires with the labor included

How well would these same tires be on a conventional gasoline vehicle? Would they tend to last longer as well as providing a much quieter ride inside the cabin etc?

I did not have to replace my tires once in my MS. I replaced my car with less than 20K miles in 4 years with a new refreshed MS! This strategy works if you put fewer miles on your car.

These were actually the next ones I was going to get. I had Hankook on the day i picked up my model3 and I enjoyed them a lot. My old hankook tires were definitely quieter and gripped the road much better. I road them almost bold because I loved them so much. Hopefully these ion tires can match it.

Thanks Kim for the helpful video, which helped confirm that Hankook ION EV AS will be the next tires for my Y. By the way, tirerack just did a great video comparing EV and non EV tires and their comment on the ION EV AS was "A mixed bag that shines in the right situations while leading in efficiency."

Hard rubber last the longest. This means higher mileage stated for that brand. The down side is they aren’t very sticky and you have to adapt to them. Rain can be tricky as well.😊

I've had a Model Y for 3.5 years and got 50,000 miles on the original stock tires. I have the 19 inch whees and the tires last longer than the larger wheels even though I do plenty of quick acceleration.

My M3P weights 4050# vs over 5000# for C63 amg. It's pretty light.

The Hankook Evo are great tires. I only use these tires on my EV’s since I’ve had such a positive experience with them. If you ever see a set on sale at one of your local tire shops on a holiday or something, or just want a great tire, you might give these a try.

I have these tires too on my Model 3. I got 23k out of the original tires and drive more in chill mode now so hoping for more lasting tires this time.

35,000 miles on my Model 3 tyres and they still have about 10,000 miles left, I keep the tyre pressure pretty high though between 42 - 45 PSI

Must say my factory fitted Hankooks are looking at going 70000km (43000 miles) on our Model 3 LR. Also even wear with regular rotations.. Will definitely look at the ions next time

Is the hankook worths $40-60 each more than other tires ? $240 more for a set . I'm personally interested and had plan on swapping out to these. I'm currently at 6/32 @38k . Unsure if I can justify the increase for minimal increase

Are these tires available at discount or Costco?

We have the Hankook iON evo AS SUV on our 2022 Model Y. So far I am happy with them. They are not as sticky as the Michelin Sport AS tires that I had on there, but those wore out in a year and had something like 25K miles. I feel like these Hankook tires work well and use a bit less energy. The part about EV's being much heavier isn't correct though. I think they gave you incorrect data. I think it is the torque that makes tires wear out quicker on EV's. Google says a 2024 Model Y curb weight is listed as 4,154 to 4,398 lbs, our 2024 Atlas Cross Sport is listed as 4,173 to 4,359 lbs, our 2012 Odyssey is listed as 4,337 to 4,560 lbs and our 2005 Yukon is 4,975 to 5,543 lbs, but is a larger vehicle. Our 2022 Model Y is listed at 4,386 lbs. Thank you for all of your content!

Will be giving these a try when the stock Continentals need replacement.

So, how much are they in the 19" MY size?

Really great video and good info, however there ''where to buy '' location link from Hankook, reveals you can't buy the tire on the West Coast directly, so now, it's a matter of worrying if someplace local to your specific location, is competent to know if these tires are a match for your specific make and model car ? Why is there no ''matching make and model '' search engine on the Hankook website, for example to know if your 2019 Chevy Bolt or your 2022 Kia NIRO EV are compatible ?

I don't drive my Tesla model 3 long range like I'm on a race track. I have 32k miles on my original tires. I think I have about 10k miles to go.

My 2020 M3 LR had 35K miles on it with at least 5K left when I traded it for my 2023 MY LR. My solution: slow down for the curves! You can always catch up on the straitaways!

While there may be some true information here, the real reason teslas go through tires is poor alignment. Air suspension on model s and x changes the alignment as it goes up and down. My model 3 performance tires lasted 50k simply because I kept the camber in check. You don't need any fancy tires.

What about RWD Tesla MODEL 3s, and how do they compare to Michelin Cross Climate II All Weather tires?

Unfortunately 17" rim size is not a supported size, for my Chevy Volt

Hankook, we know this is a Tesla. That blurring is hilariously unnecessary.

Seriously why do tesla owners all parot the lie that teslas weigh more than ice cars. Please check the curb weight of trailblazer or even hyundai santa fe. They are the same dam weight!

I must have missed where these are cheaper than normal? Or how this reduces the expense?

I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Pirelli Sottozero 3 rn in my Model 3,great tyres, but I want to try out the new Hankook iONs when my tyres are done for apparently consumption goes down by up to 10% with these, wamna see that for myself, currently at 160Wh/km ~260wh/mile, when I drive highway at around 120kph/75mph with 69 kWh remaining capacity, so 10% would make a noticeable difference.

A rough rule of thumb averaged across Teslas is that tires cost approx. half as much as energy, even accounting for 20% greater wear over comparable ICE car tires. 240 wh/mile at $0.25 per KwH is 6 cents a mile. Assuming 1000 for a set of 4 tires installed and balanced that last 33000 miles is 3 cents a mile. You can save by shopping on line and avoiding Stealerships and tire stores.

Very professional and informative video! Do we call you Lead foot Java(s) now? I think it would be good to point out in future tire videos that driver behavior (no names mentioned) does play a huge role in tire wear! I have a 2018 model 3 and have squeezed almost 80,000 miles out of the front two tires and got about 60,000 miles from the rear. Needless to say I’m definitely not as fun as the Javas though! I think everything you say is true, however I’d argue that the main cause of increased tire wear in EVs in general is due to the super fun nature of the driving experience unleashing our inner Andretti’s and thus frequent pit stop tire changes ensue…. Wouldn’t the same be true of a high performance gas car?

3:39 Torque make car fun!! *goes right over the curb*

If you compare a Model Y to a BMW X4 coupe (about the same size), the X4 ICE is actually 6Kg HEAVIER than the model Y (depending on X4 engine size). So the fallacy that EV's are heavier has NOTHING to do with tire wear. It is solely (pun) the drivers right foot. BUT... There is a solution... Set your Model Y to CHILL MODE, and it immediately reduces the power by 30% meaning that your tires should last at least 30% LONGER ! And you don't have to change the way you drive (but it also helps if you do that too). My Model Y rwd still has plenty of meat on the tires after 42,000 km...

20-25K for stock tires is nothing new. Before getting my 2 EVs, my past 5 cars were ICE models and purchased new…the crap tires manufacturers used on these only lasted about 20K to 25K miles as well (these would not have been considered economy level cars either). Even expensive replacement tires do not last as long as ones made 10-15+ years ago. TBH, some of this is because people unwisely desire (and car manufacturers push your towards) bigger wheels. Not only are you sacrificing ride quality and noise reduction, but more direct lateral and inertial force while driving stresses and weakens the tire compounds (poor road surfaces or bad inflation habits don’t help either).

Will they work on my tow truck.

0:55 mostly, it's the torque, but not if you don't use it. I suppose if you drive everywhere at 80+ on the highway, brake and accelerate hard everywhere and take corners and turns like you're being pursued by assassins from the cartels, then yeah, you can wear out your tires pretty fast, and I understand the temptation, what with the power and handling characteristics of a Tesla, anyway. So, I drive in CHILL mode at speeds approximating the speed limit, suppress my urge to fling my Model Y around turns, and rotate the tires every 6k miles or so; I'm hoping to get 30K or 40K on my first set of tires... we'll see, I'm only up to 12K (well, 11,993 miles), so far and I can see some wear -- maybe I'm not as gentle around curves as I could be ...
