How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
74/100From 3 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
79/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 3 owner reviews found online.
The Hankook iON evo SUV is widely praised as an exceptional value alternative to OEM tires, offering noticeable improvements in cabin quietness, ride smoothness, and efficiency. Users find it particularly well-suited for electric vehicles, successfully balancing performance, comfort, and cost-effectiveness.
Pros
- Significantly quieter and smoother ride compared to OEM or competitor tires
- Improved energy efficiency and fuel economy (mpg)
- Excellent value for money, offering high performance at a lower price point than competitors like Michelin
- Enhanced grip and a stiffer compound that helps balance soft vehicle suspension
Cons
- Tread wear is rated as only average, with users estimating a moderate total lifespan on heavier vehicles
Worth knowing
- Tesla Model Y owners noted that while the tire performs very well across all metrics, expected tread wear is around 45,000 kilometers.
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 drivers appreciated the stiffer compound, which effectively mitigates the soft factory suspension setup.
