After 50,000km about 30,000 miles I think) the original 7.25mm tread is down to an average 3.7mm, rotated each 15,000 service. It bad at all for a 2000kg AWD EV. They are getting pretty noisy, and no longer grip well at freezing point in the wet. No skids tho, just slight loss of front wheel traction on sealed mountain ski field roads. So I go slower!
I will swap to a more efficient tire next time, but these have been surprisingly good.
Expected life will be 75,000km which is about 50,000 of the 16th century unit of distance.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Hyundai Ioniq 5 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I drive an Hyundai Ioniq 5, Long Range, 2023 RWD model. The mileage of the tire is excelent, in dry conditions the handling is top! it is a quiet tire. In wet conditions, do not give much confidence!
I find these tires to be lowish on grip in the dry and particularly in the wet. Road feedback is low and handling is not exactly confidence inspiring. They are very durable with I expect 40 000 to 45 000 miles of life with one rotation. I am not really feeling much of a difference as the tires wear. I can't really tell if they are greatly more efficient for range on an EV.
I have tried the Bridgestone Turanza 6 on this car and those gave much more grip, road feedback and driving confidence but also noticeably more noise with it. These got to over 30 000 miles with one rotation. I personally prefer tires with more grip and road feedback.
If you can, get this for your IONIQ 5N, I’m not seeing a downside as they are also ment to last longer. Both are awesome but this one is just that bit better. And where I am, was easier to get than the OEM Pirelli.
No comment on wear as I just got them. Time will tell.
I found them to be really good with a balanced spread of performance in all categories. Used them in a few tarmac Rallysprint events and had no complaints.
It’s a performance car so comfort and noise are as good as you could ask for. No complaints from me.
I have not tried anything else on this car so can’t comment if they are relatively good or bad compared to something else. I would get them again, if availability wasn’t an issue. Given that I couldn’t get them, I just got a set of PS4S, will report once they have a few miles under them. Update: what I said initially holds true, but I must say the Michelin PS4S is a better tire. On road and one Tarmac Rally later, it has better grip, in all scenarios. Been raining recently so also sampled it there too. Only downside to PS4S is a touch noisy in comparison but it has no foam, even though the supplier claimed Acustic means foam. I’m comparing the M01 XL spec here. If you can, get the Michelins.
When there is no traffic and free view, I love them for their amazing grip and even more amazing feedback on the limit which is just a delight. Beats the OE P Zero, V107 and AD09 I've had on the car with no comparison. Just so progressive dry or wet. And effectively quiet, no 'someone is having an accident' tire squeal firmly on the limit.
That grip comes in immediately and, against prejudice, is also there in the wet and when cold with just a few turns even near freezing.
When not used on track, heat related excessive wear hasn't been an issue, although I haven't yet used them above 20°C, will go to 285 width for that.
Downsides:
- The tread pattern and depth isn't made to counteract aquaplaning, these are not tires for the unaware, only for seasoned experienced drivers that know what they have under the car intimately. Once aquaplaning comes in the breakaway from high grip levels isn't forgiving.
- While wear isn't catastrophic even on my heavy car when not tracking, they will barely last 10"000km driven enthusiastically and only because I rotate them and run appropriate extra neg camber. Hoping 285 width will last a tad longer next. This is essentially a competition tire that only last one street summer season for me tops, if not from wear, probably from heat cycles. As such a very expensive tire, but for a driver enthusiast, tires are just as important as the car itself....
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 tires compared to worn ones on an ev as they get more efficient with less tread. The new tires have 8.5mm tread depth, very pleased to see that.
