Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Tires

This is the Hyundai IONIQ 5N spec of the tire, so XL and noise cancelling foam, plus whatever changes Pirelli do for the OEM.
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 as 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.

I use these as essentially a rally tarmac tires for street use. Trundling around traffic they are extremely well behaved for a semi-slick, hardly any tread noise even half worn and surprisingly comfortable, not worse than an UUHP sports tire.

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....
