Unfortunately I don't have any in depth information on the new iON range, just what is already on the site. I expect the S1 EVO 3 EV to be more performance orientated than the initial tires in the iON range.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 9 reviews

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev is generally well regarded by drivers, especially for strong durability, quiet running, good dry handling, and EV efficiency. Several Tesla owners report very high mileage with tread remaining, making it a compelling repeat purchase for many. A minority of mid-scoring reviews report weaker wet traction under acceleration or on slick surfaces and a firmer, less comfortable ride.

I had these tires stock on a brand new Model Y RWD Standard Range.
Duration: 38k km until they reach more or less 2,5mm on all 4, I switch them since I live in a rainy place, and I wanted to be safe

Comfort: Very good for a EV Tire that's hard, they are quiet, much more quiet than the SC7 T0 that I'm running now

Handling: Not that good, average at best, not sure if it was due to running them at 2.9/3.0 bars but the Contis are so much better, I didn't like to push them at all, they were mostly a touring tire on my view. A hard sidewall, but they didn't respond well to steering inputs.

Braking: Good in both wet and dry

Aquaplanning: Good until they reach 4mm, then the middle grooves on the middle channels disappear and they switch to being not that good, average, at best.
Nothing scary, but whenever it rained a lot I had the feeling that I should switch them ASAP.

Energy Consumption: Very good, I think I average 15,5Kwh/100km during the time that I had them

PS: One thing that I noticed is that they start to be a bit more wore on the inside, which is totally normal for Teslas as I know, but the strange thing is that the same is not happening to the SC7 now with almost 20k km

My front tires cleared a staggering 57000 miles (91000km) on my Tesla model Y RWD (..without rotating!).
Never know a tire come anywhere near that
The rears done 30k miles and had lots of tread left but I got a nail in one, so changed both. Still Amazing bearing in mind 300bhp goes through them!

While I know a top end sporty tire would give better grip for the bends when pushing it, These never missed a beat, no aqua plaining, wheel slip or noticeable deterioration over life span. I simply don’t want to risk swapping to a different tire and then be kicking myself when they are done by 30k miles - so ordered same again!

Tires came from factory on Tesla Model Y LR AWD. Almost 32000 miles driven in all conditions and still above the wear indicators! Can't fault at all. Good handling in wet and dry, quiet and very long lasting!

6500 miles in, driving a mix of A and B roads mostly very wet with a lot of standing water and sometimes mud. Tires grip well in all the conditions I have experienced so far. The economy so far is good 3.9mkwh in the cold and I think the they are a good choice of tire for EVs at a good price, I would replace them with the same when the time comes.

The tires came oem with tesla model y and to my pleasant surprise, a person that has never tried hankook tires, they are very good. They grip well in the dry and in the wet they also grip ok. Unfortunately these are not tires for very rough roads.

Original tires on my Tesla model y rwd, grip good on dry, but on wet very slippy. Today is 8 celsius degree, I run them back home on wet, they slip every time when I accelerate. They run 37000km now and according to the tread depth 4mm left, they should be able to last for 50000km, quite durable. They are hard tires, steering quick, but bounce a lot, maybe any other tire will be more comfy than these.

Very good handling. Average comfort. Relatively bad wet handling with abrupt loss of grip in wet, but not soaked, road surface. The loss of grip is most prominent in oozy, slimy road surface.

Came new on my 2022 Model Y LR, changing them after 57'000 km and residual 0,5 cm tread.
Good dry grip and decent wet grip, these tires are quiet and with a low wear.
Good value for money, I am fully satisfied and I have ordered an identical set of tires.

Came new on my 2020 model 3 LR with boost and have been on for 12 months over 11000 miles. Great dry grip and decent wet grip. Can spin all 4 wheels in the wet relatively easily but can be attributed to the instant torque. Quiet but wears extremely fast - down to 3-4mm all round after only 11000 miles. Switched to Michelin PS4S as previous experience on a M4 shown they wear much slower, rears still at 4mm after >20k miles. Only reason I can see for someone having these tires is either they’re still on their factory set or they need to replace with identical tires as per lease contract.
