The Goodyears may have looked better
on paper, but my instincts kept nudging me toward the Hankooks, so that's what I chose last week.
The Hankook iON evo AS SUV tires are slightly, but noticeably quieter and smoother than the original Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 tires. Handling seems about the same. Wet weather performance seems as good as the original tires, which surprised me with their resistance to hydroplaning even when they were worn out. I can't comment on winter weather performance yet, but the OE tires weren't particularly good in the snow.
I plan to buy a refreshed Model Y before these Hankook tires are worn out, so hopefully they last at least as long as the original Goodyear tires.
Four new tires at Discount Tire cost $1,410.16 with tax and that was WITH a discount of about $40 per tire. There is also a $120 mail-in rebate which brings the total down to $1,290.16. Naturally, Discount Tire scratched ALL FOUR WHEELS in varying places to varying degrees, so they will be paying to have them refinished. Most people wouldn't notice or care about the minor damage, but I do. Initially, they said it looked like curb rash to them, but they finally agreed that it was their fault and offered a partial refund or repair. I opted to have them repaired.
Initially, I am pleased with the Hankook tires and recommend them over the Goodyears. We'll see how they hold up over time.
