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.

The Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev receives generally favorable reviews from electric vehicle owners, particularly as original equipment on vehicles like the Tesla Model Y. Drivers frequently praise its low noise levels, high efficiency, and reliable dry and wet grip, though opinions are mixed regarding its wet-weather traction under aggressive driving and overall durability.
Pros
- Low road noise and high cabin comfort
- Good dry and wet grip for daily driving
- High efficiency and positive impact on EV battery range
- Solid handling and responsive steering feel
Cons
- Rapid tread wear reported by some heavy-footed drivers
- Occasional loss of grip or slipping in wet, slimy, or cold conditions
- High retail price point
- Susceptibility to punctures or cuts on rough rural roads
Worth knowing
- Tesla Model Y and Model 3 owners note that the instant torque of EVs can cause wheel spin in wet conditions and accelerate tread wear, though many still achieve respectable mileage between 30,000 to 35,000+ miles.
- Users driving on rougher or non-smooth road surfaces noted an increase in tire noise and a slightly stiffer, bouncier ride comfort.
