New Hankook Ion Evo tires for the GTS

[mystermykee]

I am about ready to replace the Pirelli P zero OE tires on my '23 GTS. The car is at 25,000 miles (40K kilometers), and the tires have worn evenly and given good service. I think I will just buy the replacements. They are about the same price as Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

The NF0 Pzero that came with the car lasted about 12k miles. I went through two sets of Goodyear Asymmetric 5 (NF0) and made those last a little over 20k? When the Pzero NF1 came out with a higher tread wear rating, I decided to go back. 5k miles in, handling and response is far superior to the Goodyears. Probably still too early to notice any tread wear.

Unfortunately, I have yet to compare them to the popular Michelin P4S (21") as I don't run non NF tires or mount tires that are spec'd for different car.

I have Cross Climate 2's on my Cayenne and I love them.
They are quiet, compliant and handle like a pair of great running shoes.

I got them installed as summers on my second EV (a jaguar ipace) and I am extremely happy with them; superb range, very quiet and soft. Just not extremely sporty/not for tracking. Superb for daily driving though.
I am so happy that I'll probably get them as summers on my 4S (21 size rims). I can see they are available in the OE size of 305/30r21 and 265/35r21 for the taycan and with the OE load/speed ratings. So despite the lack of NF0 marking, they should work 100%.
Let's face it, NF markings (and this is the case with most major car brands) are for the most part a marketing trick to sell tyres from specific manufacturers. There's nothing wrong with buying non-NF0 tyres, as long as they are the correct size and load/speed rating.

This is exactly why I sought these out. Thanks for your feedback

No, OE tires really are different, whether people notice it or not.

None of which means a non-OEM tire won’t work or would void a warranty

I am still waiting and hoping for any good tire manufacturer to make an EV rated set of 21” all season 245/285’s to properly fit Porsche’s Aero Design wheels.

These were somewhat difficult to find in the size I needed for the GTS. I am excited to try them out. Hankook Ion Evo. I found them in Tireseasy.com for less than $1500 shipped to my door.

These came stock on my 2025 J1.2 GTS. For daily driving, they are pretty darn good. Have not tested on the track.

Currently running Continental DWS06 all seasons on my 21” winter Vossen wheels.

Got these mounted up finally this weekend. Only a few miles around town but these tires feel spectacular and are so smooth and quiet. More to come.

Have been running Ion Evo on my J1.1 for a while. Extremely good tyres.

Good grip and feel, wear well and are a lot quieter than the NF Goodyears (better than those in every way).
