Almost perfect tires that even didn't let my down in heavy snow which really amazed me. And driven normally they seem to last forever.

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.
How long do tires last on the Hyundai Ioniq?
Across 13 end of life reviews from Hyundai Ioniq drivers, a typical set of tires was worn out after 33,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 20,000 miles and 47,000 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them.

What Hyundai Ioniq drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Coming from Michelin Primacy 4, which lasted me 55,000kms, I decided to try the budget friendly Falken Ziex ZE320. These were about half the price of the new Michelin Primacy 5. I don't like to cheap out on something so essential to road safety, but the positive test results from Tire Reviews themselves made me curious enough to give them a go.
So far, they perform really well. The dry grip is impressive, as are the handling and road feedback. The Falken ZE320 is also way less noisy than I expected. These are all positive outcomes, especially considering the ZE320 only cost me 60 euros per tire. Good job, Falken.
The primary drawback of the ZE320 for me is its mediocre rolling resistance. For most, this will actually be fine if you drive a regular combustion engine car or a performance oriented car. However, if you drive a car designed for efficiency, the impact of rolling resistance is (relatively) much larger. The power consumption in my EV rose from 11.8kWh/100km on the Michelin Primacy 4 to 12.7kWh/100km on the Falken ZE320. Still not bad, but less efficient than I'd like it to be.
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.
Overall disappointed this time round with the newer version, I found the snow performance to be poor compared to continentals all seasons I have used before. Being a front wheel drive EV has caused slippage pulling out of junctions I presume to how narrow the tires are along with the lack of grip, they have lasted over 30k on the front and the rears still have a lot of life left in them. Think I will look for a more summer based all season tire this time round since UK snow is few and far between.
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.
These cheap tires are very interesting, they are very good for me (I drive for about 30.000 km/year). They are a few noisy, but their behavior is excellent in every condition (wet, dry, dirt road).
Went from the OEM Pirelli PZ4 HN to the Michelin PS4S M01 XL Acoustic. Didn’t actually have foam inside like the PZ4 which the installer said they do… so could explain the only downside to the tire, slightly noisier on the freeway. Otherwise it’s better in all regards. Dry and wet grip are excellent. Where the Pirelli used to loose traction in the no traction control modes in the IONIQ 5N, the Michelin just does the most minor flinch.
I have done one Tarmac Rallysprint on them, and they were great there too. The better grip definitely resulted in better lap times.
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.

OEM Tires in my Ioniq 5, very good dry handling. I've done 40k miles, and I expect to do more 5k miles. In wet conditions, not so good...
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 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.
