Hankook iON HT 275/55R21 XL

[Fmc]

I am not sure if this tire will get made but it looks like 21” owners might get a third option.

I wish we had a general ETA on when these will be available.

I was able to order these from Discount Tire by calling. Should have them this weekend or early next week. Not really seeing a reason to buy another set of OEM tires at $2k+ installed when these are literally half.

Will give some impressions soon.

How much were they?

How much were they?

About $1k installed. I want to say they were like $239 each.

I would be looking to buy the 275/60r20 size since I already have that size in the Goodyears. On that note I love the Goodyears but they are wearing down quick, so to see these hankooks in this price range with a giant warranty mileage is hard to ignore.

These ride much quiter and softer than the pirellis. Not too much else to say in the first 50 or so miles but we should have our first snow in a few weeks so excited to see how they stack up then.

Well well well.

Looks like I'm getting new tires. Can you post a pick of them mounted on the vehicle?

Any pics with these installed?

I only have this one on hand. They look better than the pirellis IMO

Any further recon on this Hankook 21" tire? One thing I like about the stock 21" Pirellis is I've had zero issues with balance with them. I see some complaints about balance issues with some of the 21" non-stock options. In my life I had one set of tires that would run out of balance within weeks of balance, and I don't want to deal with that again.

I got them last week. Solid so far.

I have had these on since Friday.

Handling is good.

A score quieter than the Pirellis.

For those running a Comma - they provide a 2.04 LatAccellFactor on the T which is way better than the Pirellis (1.56 is what I was getting).

Efficiency is not as good as the Pirellis unfortunately. It's a little early to give proper numbers, but so far I am seeing about an 8-10% reduction. I'm hoping that when they wear a little, this might get a little better. The other thing is that here, the temps took a turn over the past week, so some of that could be that.
