Best Tyres for the Hyundai Kona N

Car less than two years old with less than 6k miles already front tyres down to 1mm above wear bads and cracking on edge of tyre. The rear have 3mm left will change the four together for an different brand. Very disappointed and unsure whether a warranty claim would result in a positive outcome.

Just had 2 of these fitted to my Hyundai Kona N replacing the front oem Pirelli's which lasted just over 8K miles. Big difference just in the drive home. No chance to assess performance in the wet, but the steering feels softer, there's improved feedback from the front, and the ride is more comfortable as well. The rear oem Pirelli's have plenty of life in them so will keep them on for time being, but will upgrade to the Hankooks once tyre life has been reached. Very pleased with the purchase.

I can tell you I switched to Conti SC7 this year, and boy, are they brilliant. Unlike Bridgestone Potenza Sport, I think these are stickier. I disliked Potenzas because they became very plasticky after one season, and worse after that. They also required more time to get heat and grip in them, and they were also extremely loud and harsh due to the rock-solid sidewalls. Granted, that gives you somewhat better steering precision but on normal roads - the comfort was awful. SC7 are just perfect:)

Without question the worst tires I have ever purchased. Do not buy these tires. One month old and one tire required 2.75 weight. Another required 5 ! Absolute junk!

Unfortunately, the factory equipped tires on my 2022 Hyundai Kona N were Pirelli P-Zeros. All the Kona N's were equipped with these high-performance tires, a poor choice by Hyundai. These tires seem to be made with a very poor compound, as they mine were in this condition after the car sat a half year on the dealer's lot: Hyundai Canada won't warranty them, as they say it is a tire manufacturer issue, and the consumer needs to contact Pirelli directly, whom I have heard is very difficult to deal with. I ended up selling the car shortly after. It's disgraceful that Pirelli would put out a product like this.

As far as ride is concerned, they do grip extremely well, but only in warm (+15C and above) temperatures. Anything close to freezing temperature or below, and they basically become like hockey pucks. Don't even THINK about driving on snow with these tires! In hot weather, they are sticky. They will pick up every bit of dirt and sand and fling it against the sides and underside of your car, so consistent use on gravel is not a good idea. Also, they are fairly loud and communicate a dull roar to the passenger cabin.

In summary, I would not purchase these tires again, no way.
