The OEM tires for the Ioniq 5 are the Michelin Pilot Sport EV, which are good but overpriced. So, at half the price, the Hankook Ion Evo SUV is a great replacement for those Michelins, with a stiffer compound to mitigate the Ioniq 5's suspension softness. So, it's a win-win.

I used this tyres on my Tesla model Y and have done 23,000 kms on it. It is very good in every aspect except the wear is only average. I think it will only last about 45,000 kms on this tyres. However, it is the best value money can buy in Australia. You can consider this tyres.
