Not that anyone asked me but my perception of Korean manufacturing is that it is world class.not sure what you mean, is this a good or bad thing?

Will be head to head vs the Hankook iON.
That is an excellent price, plus the rebate too. I just submitted a price match request at at Discount Tire, because I prefer to deal with them.i just had my Hankook iOns delivered from Wallymart. $202 each plus tax. Shipping included.

Rebate $100 Hankook Rebates
I had missed them when they debuted on Walmart dotcom around 5/1... they were only $177! I hesitated and about 3 days later, I went to buy, it had gone up to $202. They were instock when I ordered on 5/4/2023, but then my order went into back order. it finally shipped and took about 5 days from Missouri to SoCal.
I'll hopefully get them installed this weekend... .not by Walmart though. I'm so ready to get rid of my heavy, stiff, slippery, noisy, Bridgestone Quiettracks.
What? Had no idea you could do that!That is an excellent price, plus the rebate too. I just submitted a price match request at at Discount Tire, because I prefer to deal with them.
I submitted a $200.77 price from SpeedyTire to DT Direct. I haven't gotten a response yet, but hoping they match. That price along with the rebate, is an excellent deal. I have never dealt with DT before; they have a good reputation, right?That is an excellent price, plus the rebate too.

Yes, you can!What? Had no idea you could do that!
Let us know how it goes.
I would have much rather did that and then bought America's tire road Hazzard and such.
I did speedytire too, Americas Tire said they would price match but included shipping which came out to $40 something per tire. Still an overall savings of about $100 compared to the price on AT's site even including shipping. Going to get these installed here in the next few days!I submitted a $200.77 price from SpeedyTire to DT Direct. I haven't gotten a response yet, but hoping they match.

How are economy/range and performance?I have the Hankook EVO Ion AS 235/45/18 on my Model 3 at about 1100 miles now, they've held on very well, super quiet and comfortable.
Installed them today and didnt get the diamond(?) pattern on mine. Looks good tbh, can report back in the next thousand miles or so.
I just bought these tires and the lateral grip is horrific. Noise level wasn't great either. The one thing it seemed to do especially well was straight line acceleration, it felt amazing. Overall couldn't handle the lack of lateral grip and had DT swap it out for Pirelli All Season Plus Elect tires, so much better.
Are your current Pirellis the PZero Elect EV tuned version? Summer or All season? If so, could you make a comparison between these and the Hankook iONs?These tires have total transformed the experience of riding in her M3P. At speeds, all we can hear is the wind, with the faintest roar of the tires.
When the Pirelli's on my 2021 M3P wear out, I'm getting a set.
I have a Model S with the same size tires as yours, so will be interested to hear your impressions now, one month in. Also it will help to know what your previous tires were.Well, after reading everything, I decided to go for the iON EVO AS tires for fronts at 245/35/21 and rears 265/35/21. I need the AS in my area, I drive spirited more than not, but I don’t track so let’s see how these will do.
I went from Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season 245/45/18 and my average never dropped below 310 Wh / mile. With the Hankook now, it’s averaging around 260-270 and most of my commute everyday does 240-250. It’s far more efficient.How are economy/range and performance?
