OEM tires

[insightman]

We have two 2024 SEs, one that came with the Hankooks and another that came with the Pirellis. Overall, the Hankooks are a little quieter and ride slightly better than the Pirellis...but I prefer the Pirellis as they have a little crisper handling and a smidgen quicker turn-in. Really though, unless driving them back-to-back (which I have done a handful of times) the differences aren't terribly noticeable.

I'm impressed (and thankful) my Hankooks don't squeal when I'm cornering quickly. Are the Pirellis as quiet when pushed hard?

Depends how quickly you FWD power through corners!

Usually I don't hear the Cinturato P7 summer tires while listening to 1050AM. Fortunately there's 94.7 WCSX so I don't miss out on the U25 BEV!

The BIG 1050 is why I'm so grateful Bimmercode let me activate my MINI's secret AM radio!

Hi Just fitted a set of Toyo CR1,s the latest EV ready tire in 215/55R/17, very quirt god grip and am now only using 135 whatt s per Km, mine is a 2022 Kona, it might be worth you looking at them, for the latest tire tec Jim

A quick question if I may:
My new 2025 Ioniq 5 has Kupho tires. Are they any good? Worried cuz the manual, nor the tires themselves do not list the official expected tire pressures. Also, how does one manipulate the Setup buttons to get the tire pressure current amounts while drivin up on the display? Also, the 'cluster' says my front passenger seats Air-Bag is not on. How does one turn it on? The manuals they gave me do not mention anything about those these things. Very disappointed withe manuals.
Thx for any info!

Hi, yes kumko tires are a good brand, i changed over from them for Toyos because Toyos had the very latest in EV attributes, low noise and rolling load, tire pressure info is usually on either the drivers door pillar or on the same on the passages side door pillar, this is the Kona forum so if you go to the Ioniq 5 forum, you will be talking with owners who drive the same car as you, hope this helps Jim

This is the Cooper SE sub-forum.

16k miles on the stock goodyear 205/45R17 and almost worn out. Would never use these again. Wet traction is awful too. Dry is good, ride is good and road noise is minimal. No rolling resistance rating in the US, although they are not labeled as green. Plenty of options at less than half the price that just lack the high profit margins that go into tire marketing. If you are a spirited driver that enjoys the go-cart quality and canyon handling of this car, you expect a low tire life, but this is just crazy bad. I had an RX8 with Toyo Proxes 4 that had 40,000 miles on the tires when I sold the car and still life left on the tires. Similar driving habits, just better tires. Factory OEM tires are made to need replacing before lease end, and the dealers often require the same tires, meaning more profit for junk tires. Tire warrantees are useless too for making claims is impossible.
