Hyundai Kona N Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental SportContact 7 given 95% (235-40-19-)

I can tell you I switched to Conti SC7 this year, and boy, are they brilliant. Unlike Bridgestone Potenza Sport, I think these are stickier. I disliked Potenzas because they became very plasticky after one season, and worse after that. They also required more time to get heat and grip in them, and they were also extremely loud and harsh due to the rock-solid sidewalls. Granted, that gives you somewhat better steering precision but on normal roads - the comfort was awful. SC7 are just perfect:)

Without question the worst tires I have ever purchased. Do not buy these tires. One month old and one tire required 2.75 weight. Another required 5 ! Absolute junk!

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero given 50% (235-45-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 400 average miles
Unfortunately, the factory equipped tires on my 2022 Hyundai Kona N were Pirelli P-Zeros. All the Kona N's were equipped with these high-performance tires, a poor choice by Hyundai. These tires seem to be made with a very poor compound, as they mine were in this condition after the car sat a half year on the dealer's lot: Hyundai Canada won't warranty them, as they say it is a tire manufacturer issue, and the consumer needs to contact Pirelli directly, whom I have heard is very difficult to deal with. I ended up selling the car shortly after. It's disgraceful that Pirelli would put out a product like this.

As far as ride is concerned, they do grip extremely well, but only in warm (+15C and above) temperatures. Anything close to freezing temperature or below, and they basically become like hockey pucks. Don't even THINK about driving on snow with these tires! In hot weather, they are sticky. They will pick up every bit of dirt and sand and fling it against the sides and underside of your car, so consistent use on gravel is not a good idea. Also, they are fairly loud and communicate a dull roar to the passenger cabin.

In summary, I would not purchase these tires again, no way.
