No comparisons on Db. I don't have numbers but when the Kinergy GT's were at 3mm of tread life they were noisier than the brand new Ion Evo AS. 1 other thing, with the 94v rating going around hard corners sometimes the car would skitter a bit, this could have been the alignment. But for many thousands of miles the Kinergy 94v's going around hard corners at tesla speed would sometimes skitter just a bit. Like a blip up or something.Are you comparing brand new Hankook Kinergy GT vs Hankook Ion EVO especially for the road noise?
I ask because I have tested brand new both of them and the Kinergy GT were the quieter ones, thanks to Hankook offer of 30 days trial that I availed of at the Discount Tire.
The new Ion Evo's AS have been perfect. I try not to speed or brake, but the times when I was slightly caught off guard or had to merge tight or misread a hard curve these tires have been awesome. The car was aligned perfect when I put the new Ion Evo AS. This also will affect or effect tight turns. But with the harder side walls and the heavier load index these tires are superior in everyway except for range. Probably going 20n w/h higher but the trade off is a no brainer.
Put another 3-4K miles on them. Road noise hasn't bothered me. Seems better but the tires are new.
