Put the Davanti AllToura on my Tesla model 3. The grip and handling are great and range is better than I got on my Michelin x ice snow. They are a bit noisier than the x ice but at the price I got them in very happy with the purchase.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 rated 86% while driving a Tesla Model 3 standard plus

Frankly superb durability on the 2021 tesla model 3 SR+ unicorn motor setup. Have driven through Australian summers and torrential rain with no issues. Wet handling is great and dry handling feels like you are on rails.
Nexen WinGuard Sport 2 rated 97% while driving a Volkswagen (B8) 1.4 TSI (150 Hp) DSG ACT

Driving on a combination of roads for 0 miles
I am giving this review in the third winter of use. I looked for the tires to have characteristics as close as possible to a summer sports tire. They are as expected, after 2 years and ... they are still soft on the road but hard on the sidewall, they have a very good steering response, braking is very good both on dry and wet roads at minus temperatures, but at the same time very tiresome, even the resistance to aquaplaning is very good, the only minus is the traction on snow, but that does not interest me because I avoid icy roads and snow as much as I can because they are salted and I am a maniac with car detailing. I recommend them to everyone except those who are looking for good traction on snow.

They're so refined, you don't know it's a performance tire until you push it or need it. Phenomenal in the wet vs hydroplaning.

Unfortunately, this tire does not live up to the manufacturer's claims; it is all marketing hype. While the price is low, the quality reflects it and you get what you pay for.

Ridiculous wear rate on my ford smax.
Quickest wearing tyres I've ever bought.
Handling and grip is good when they are fresh but rapidly drops off. Wet grip is non existent. With half life tyres atm

I am writing this review after 3 seasons of use, in the first year I was delighted with the tires, they had good grip both on dry and wet roads, the car feels safe both at speed and on winding roads, the rolling noise was quite low. From the 2nd year their quality decreased quite a lot in all the previously mentioned, especially in the 3rd year they have already become dangerous especially when it rains or the asphalt is wet, the car has a fairly high understeer tendency. They have a fairly hard compound 400 treadwear, if they had silica in the composite (as Davanti claims) they would not have plasticized so quickly, in all this running of approx. 50k km the tread is still approx. 6mm but with pretty bad cracks, I have attached a photo.
Advice for those who would like to purchase them, only if you plan to use them to the fullest in the first year (track day or skill or speed on the coast) they are tough and withstand temperatures well and the steering response is good, they sit very well on the rim, they have a straight sidewall, they offer a nice look.
I will focus on something of higher quality so that I can enjoy the car.
Drive safe everyone!

First kilometers from new. Did around 3000 km on these tyres on summer trip. Like a tyre of this class they were quite good. The only drawback of them were during hot summer days doing high speed travelling on highways. While going 140 km/h and above they sometimes felt a little to soft and car handling started to feel like riding on a jello sometimes. But, nothing dangerous. All in all tyres are quite good.
Vredestein Quatrac Pro EV rated 90% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR

I recently purchased these tyres for my Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range based on reviews of the original Quatrac tyre. The EV version should theoretically be better, but time will tell. My previous tyres were Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tyres, which offered excellent grip and handling.
So far, my impressions of the Quatrac Pro EV are positive. They feel slightly softer and more comfortable, with noise levels that seem about the same. These tyres don’t have the foam band on the inside like some other models.
I typically drive aggressively with Slip-Start ON to make the car more tail-happy. I wore out the Michelins in just one year, so if these tyres also last a year, I’ll be satisfied.
Under hard driving and in rainy conditions, the Vredestein tyres slide slightly more, which I find adds to the fun. Braking performance is good both in wet and dry conditions.
I haven’t driven in snow or on ice yet, but I’ll share a follow-up once I have more experience in those conditions.

For contents review is from Australia
I’ve done approximately 124,000km at time of writing this the car is almost 2yrs old in February 2025. Tyres have been thoroughly tested.
Having the pilot sport 4 tyres that came with the Tesla model 3 and getting 80k km out of those tyres I switched to the hankook ion evo after a lot of research. They are Horrible in the wet! the car doesn’t corner anywhere near aswell in the dry with 40k km on them they will need replacing by 50k km. The pilot sport 4 a week out from replacing in moderate rain wouldn’t break traction would grip even after several intentional attempts. Would not recommend hankooks regretted buying them never again.

I recently swapped out the Michelin e Primacy tires that came standard with my vehicle and am thoroughly impressed with my decision. The e Primacy tires were undoubtedly quiet and comfortable, boasting incredibly low rolling resistance. However, their performance in wet conditions left much to be desired. I experienced fish tailing occasionally while navigating curves in the rain, which didn't inspire much confidence in wet weather.
Enter the Hankook Ion Evo. After a 1000km break-in period, these tires have proven to be a noticeable improvement. They offer enhanced comfort and maintain the same serene quietness that I appreciated about the e Primacy. This improvement does come with a slightly higher trade-off in rolling resistance. Typically, on my usual routes, I achieved a minimum energy consumption of 9x Wh/km with the e Primacy. However, with the Ion Evo, this rises modestly to 10x Wh/km.
Despite this, I wholeheartedly recommend the Hankook Ion Evo for daily driving, especially for those prioritizing comfort and performance in wet conditions.

These were fitted to my 2nd hand 2020 Kia Optima Gt line S on purchase and all 4 looked brand new. They were fine at first, but recently they have begun disintegrating with chunks coming off both front and rear tyres after 10,000 miles. They are now terribly noisy and are being changed to Goodyear Vectors, this week. I'm not a fast driver so the very poor wear is a surprise. Had the car checked over by the main dealer and no alignment or mechanical issues to explain the issue. I would never recommend these tyres to anyone, awful experience !
