Replacing OEM 19' Hankooks on MY

[Maximillan]

I'm curious as to whether anybody has replaced the original Hankook 19" tyres on their Model Y RWD in Australia, and if so what did you go with?

When new, I thought that the Hankooks suited the car really well and had no complaints. It's now done 22,000kms, and with all the rain we've in Sydney recently have surprisingly started to lose traction in the wet whilst being gently driven. Loss of traction can occur with either the rears or the fronts, and whilst being corrected very quickly, is an indicator that it's time to start looking at replacements. The tread remains around 2mm above the tyre wear indicator.

I've looked at replacement options, the Hankooks are around $400 each (!), and I don't want to ruin the drive with an ill suited tyre.

I was surprised that they've lasted so few kms and then I saw the following video (testing done on a MY coincidentally) that explains the trade off in going OEM replacement.

Im also interested in this.

I did find a link to cheaper $300 versions of the Hankook but not sure which option would fix my MY. Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 EV K127E Tyres from $285 | JAX Tyres & Auto 1300 367 897

How would I know which one is for my car?

If I was to replace tyres, I would want to get ones that dont reduce range and have low noise (with foam).

What about hankook ions?

Traction AA and treadwear 500 instead of the Evo which is same traction rating but treadwear rating 360

My research is pointing to the Hankook ION EVO AS as my future replacement. Seems to win on all counts - noise, grip, treadwear and efficiency. (And being all-season will suit my cold climate).
