Passenger Car Summer Electric Vehicle Tyres

I have a full set of these tyres on my Ioniq 5 and they are brilliant I am very tempted to buy the same replacement tyres as they have been going so well. I have currently covered 55,000 miles and have 2.6 mm left on the most worn tyre. The other three all have 3.6 mmm who said EVs wear tyres heavily? I would say my driving. style was fast and spirited with a trip to North Coast 500<br />
The only reason I would buy anything different is they could be quieter although this is only on paper as I haven't tried a different set on this car. Side walls are starting to crack the tyres are now four years old. Treadwear indicator states 200.

After spending some time with the new Yokohama Advan Sport EV, I’m genuinely impressed with its overall performance.<br />
<br />
The first thing I noticed was the remarkable reduction in road noise compared to the Michelin e.Primacy. The cabin feels noticeably quieter, making daily driving much more comfortable and refined.<br />
<br />
In terms of grip, the Advan Sport EV is on another level. Steering response is more confident, and the tyre provides excellent feedback through corners. It holds the car securely during spirited driving and remains predictable when pushed, giving the driver plenty of confidence.<br />
<br />
Wet weather performance has also been impressive. The tyre maintains strong traction and stability on wet roads, helping the car stay planted even during heavy rain and standing water conditions.<br />
<br />
One aspect that surprised me is the wear rate. Despite having a lower treadwear rating on paper, the tyre appears to be wearing very evenly so far, suggesting that longevity may be better than many would expect.<br />
<br />
My early verdict:<br />
✅ Significantly quieter than Michelin e.Primacy<br />
✅ Stronger grip in both dry and wet conditions<br />
✅ Excellent cornering stability and predictability<br />
✅ Promising wear characteristics so far<br />
<br />
For EV owners looking for a tyre that combines comfort, confidence, and performance, the Yokohama Advan Sport EV is shaping up to be a very impressive option. It feels like a tyre that truly complements the instant torque and higher weight of modern EVs.

General Performance & Driving Style<br />
Mileage & Age: Purchased in August 2024. Currently at 40,000 km.<br />
Driving Style: Generally calm driving, with occasional hard acceleration when needed.<br />
Treadwear: The tires have worn down to about half their original depth, so I expect to get significant additional mileage from them.<br />
<br />
Performance vs. Pilot Sport 4 SUV<br />
Comfort & Noise: The comfort and noise levels are acceptable. Honestly, I don't feel they are significantly stronger or quieter than the PS4 SUV they replaced.<br />
Energy Consumption: The energy consumption feels about the same as the PS4 SUV. I haven't noticed a major improvement in range, which was one of the main reasons for choosing an EV-specific tire.<br />
<br />
️ Wet & Winter Traction<br />
Wet Grip: Under hard acceleration on wet roads, the tires still break traction and spin(PS4SUV won't). It's manageable but not exceptionally confidence-inspiring.<br />
Winter Grip: As expected for a summer performance tire, they offer no grip on snow whatsoever ("sliding for sure").<br />
<br />
Verdict<br />
After 40,000 km, the PSEV is a competent tire, but for me, it hasn't proven to be a major upgrade over the excellent PS4 SUV. While it handles the demands of an EV and has decent longevity, the promised benefits in efficiency and refinement over its non-EV counterpart are not very noticeable in real-world use. It's a good tire, but perhaps not the revolutionary step up I had hoped for.

I bought these last summer for my Chevy Bolt. They are fun to drive in both dry and wet conditions. They are quiet. And handle and brake well in the rain. I replaced them for the winter, so I can't speak to their winter/snow performance. I like them very much. And while I haven't measured mi/kWh, I do feel that they are very efficient.

The Continental PremiumContact-C came as the factory-fitted standard tyres on my 2023 MG4 Excite 64. I would not recommend them.<br />
After only 27,000 km, both rear tyres are already down to 3 mm, which is very poor wear. Comfort and noise level is acceptable on dry roads, but wet-weather performance is very bad, handling is poor and the car feels unstable and prone to skidding on wet road.<br />
<br />
Overall, not suitable for an electric vehicle with instant torque, and I won’t be buying these again.

I drove it with my ev for 7000 km, the grip in dry is great, but in ice has almost no grip :) <br />
I dont like it because the road feedback is alot on this. I dont have experience with other tyres of this car, maybe the problem is the car (Mazda 6e). <br />
It looks good and lasts moderately

the worst tire i've ever had in wet conditions, slips like i'm driving on a soapy surface

Average comfort and noise levels with good handling performance for a PHEV car.

Came as delivered on a 25 plate Hyundai Kona 65kWh N Line EV. NW England.<br />
Was warned by the sales team at dealership they were awful. Thought "How bad can they be?" Very bad is the answer. Terrible tyres; given 3k miles to convince myself otherwise but no good. <br />
Struggle in the wet to grip; aquaplaning on wet motorway lethal. <br />
Cornering on wet country lanes dicey. <br />
In the dry in Sport mode can't put the power down pulling onto M6. <br />
Noisy and skittish on bumps and potholes.<br />
They are probably good for stopping a barge hitting the canal bank. No place on a powerful car. Removed in favour of Hankook 4 seasons; instant transformation.

I've had these tyres on my car from new and they are now hitting 40,000 miles and still going strong. Excellent wear and longevity - still have another 5-6000 life in them but will be swapping out for Crossclimate 3 Sport this winter as driving to the Alps otherwise would have happily bought the same tyres again. Plenty of grip and responsive handling for daily driving and some spirited B roads. Never aquaplaned even in inches deep standing water. Does understeer very slightly if aggressive turn in on wet roads but quick to regain control. Main negative is the minimal comfort as the road imperfections are directly transmitted to the cabin (although that may well be the car's suspension design) and they are not very quiet unless on perfect tarmac.
