Tyres are good, are the second scorers of my entire life, I must admit that the number one still a Michelin Summer Tyres from couples of year ago! I still search for that handling type but for an all season for an EV these are amazing tires! Let see on summer how they work

Outstanding traction on ice and dense snow even with a RWD Ionic 5, excelent confort, very good dry braking, acceptable wet braking like all 4 season tires, really low wear especially for an EV, very low rolling resistance, no significant difference with summer tires.

Just installed yesterday as replacements for OEM Michelin Primacy 4 SUV as I need an all season tyre. The Michelins had worn from 6.3mm new tread depth to about 2.2mm in 65,000 km.
The new Pirellis were very grippy around corners on wet tarmac, quieter than the worn Michelins, and still very efficient at about 10% more energy needed. This is normal for new tyres compared to worn ones on an ev as they get more efficient with less tread. The new tyres have 8.5mm tread depth, very pleased to see that.

Although a good All-Season (EU) tire, I'd prefer more cold wet performance and especially - longevity. In a climate, where transition period from cold to Summer and back happens in waves of heat and cold, it forces you to keep snow-certified tires on for longer, thus exposing them to temperatures above +25 occasionally. Either this, or other factors didn't help with the longevity of the tires. 16K km (10K mi) during three Winter seasons. Having to cope with a RWD EV demand, rears get more beating, but not that much more than fronts, so overall wear is pretty even - just too intensive. That's the main reason I'm switching from Hankook Kinergy 4S2 to Nokian SeasonProof 2. Plus I wish for a bit more wet performance.

Hyundai Ioniq 5, very good all around winter tyre. Ice grip could be better for breaking and acceleration.

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.

These come as standard on the Ioniq 5 N and I'm not that impressed with them to be honest. Had the car a couple of months and to be fair this is throughout the winter so I cant really comment on warmer temperatures but them seem pretty average especially in the wet and cold. Grip is not very inspiring in the wet and I've had better (summer) tyres on other cars in the same temperatures and time of the year..
I hope they wear down quick so I can get them changed and as the lease company are paying, I'll be trying to insist on Conti's or Michelin's as replacements. In the meantime, I'll put up with them.

Like in all subjective scores, these are relative to the other tires I used on the same car. These were cheap Winter tires (for one Winter) and UHC All-Season Hankook Kinergy 4S. Please also note that my Michelin Primergy 4 are OEM tires for an EV, so they might be different from the retail version of the same model.
Michelin Primergy 4 loses in every category to Hankook Kinergy 4S:
Wet roads: Michelin start to skid unpredictably with quite sudden and nasty understeer and the tire doesn't react to weight transfer when you slow down a bit to load front tires for more grip - the car just keeps sliding until the speed reduces enough. Hankooks feel way more safe in same situations and way more manageable and react to corrections just nicely.
Dry roads: Michelins start to slide quite early (earlier than Hankooks) on a heavy Hyundai IONIQ 5, but are very predictable and forgiving and once they start squealing they are still driveable and react to the steering.
Hot dry roads: I'd expect a Summer tire not to overheat on a hot sunny day, but hey... It is normal when all-season Hankooks start sliding more and become mushy at temperatures around 25-27 C and by 30 C they drop quite noticeably. But Michelins start to slide more at above 30 C, which is surprising. I'd expect a Summer tire to hold to at least 35 C. Of course, the road is way hotter under the Summer Sun. however my next Summer tire will definitely be something that can stand the heat better.

The vehicle skids very badly.

These are mounted on an after market set of rims to New Zealand’s South Island for the winter ski season. From mid June to early October. Only got them in August but I have done 5,000 km on them.
Impression when compared to the OEM Michelin Primacy 4 235/55r19 is a softer stickier compound which does indeed stay softer in lower temperatures such as frosty mornings. The Primacy gave me a couple of scary moments on early morning ice in June (winter down under) so I got the Hankooks for the colder weather. Haven’t had them break loose yet! They are grippy in the dry and being brand new the wet too, possibly more so the pan the Primacy. Tread depth is 7.5mm in the central two grooves and interestingly only 7.0 mm in the outer two. The sipes are not full depth like the Primacy so the wet and snow grip may suffer as they wear. Snow grip was good on lightly dusted ski field roads, also on a muddy slurry overlying gravel roads.
Noise is slightly higher than half worn Primacy he mid frequency range I think but not obtrusive even in the EV.
The only thing that stops me running them all year is the reduction in range. Consumption of power went down from 21 kWh per 100km (adjusted for the 3-4% greater tyre size of the Hankooks) to about 18 when I swapped back to the Michelins.
The wheel plus tyre weight is I think very similar when both tyres are brand new. The Michelins have lost 500g in 40,000km (rotated) which is a loss of 3mm tread from the 6.5mm when new. The Hankooks averaging front and rear have worn about 0.5mm in 5000km but it’s hard to tell accurately yet.
So a good purchase for the winter weather here when we get little snow on the flat, just ice, and are required to use snow chains on ski field roads anyway if it actually snows.
