EV tires best for Taycans

[KLHubb]

Most of us who have owned a Taycan for serveral years know that tires wear quickly and tend to be noisy.
I have owned Michelin Pilot Sport 4's and Pirelli winters and am reasonably satisfied, save noise and rapid wear.
Pirellis are reasonably quiet due to soft winter compounding, while the Pilot Sport 4's get noisy after only a bit of wear.
As I plan to replace my summers/winters of choose all season, does anyone know of any new, improved EV tires?
Any insights would be much appreciated

I'm currently trying Hankook iOn Evos on mine.

These are what Porsche fit on the MY25, albeit a slightly different size as my rims are too wide for their current sizes.

They are sound absorbing - have a big wedge of foam on the inside - and from relatively limited miles it seems to work. Note I only changed rears, so still had factory Goodyears on the front... But the difference was still noticeable. New fronts go on tomorrow.

They are also meant to be better for range. Impossible for me to tell right now as I've been comparing winter to summer... But over the next few months I should have a better idea.

Great, thanks.
I have gone to their website, and they have a variety of tires/sizes.
Are your tires N rated?

Need to specify the wheel diameter -- tire model selection varies significantly for 19 vs 20 vs 21.
(Although in any size, very few choices available for each category, i.e., summer vs all-season vs all-weather vs performance / Central European winter vs studless / Nordic winter.)

But they don’t have NF1 coding?

Nope.

They're the same brand and model. They are rated properly in terms of weight and speed. And thus far the rears have performed better than the NF0 Goodyears.

No.

I have a 20” OE set of take off summer Pirelli FS here for anyone interested:

I have 21’ wheels. I had the Pirelli pzero fron Factory and the front tires were completely worn out at 18k kms. I switched to Goodyears Eagle F1 and I am happy for now. I don’t know about the wear yet but consumption is better

I have used Pirelli Zero winters on my 4S and I really appreciate how quiet they are, but they do wear quickly. I have wondered about Michelin Cross Climate II's but they are not N rated.

In this boat too. Almost time to replace my A/S 20" tires and having trouble finding any in stock anywhere. The Pirelli Cents lasted me 20k miles!
(245/45/20 & 285/40/20)

My MY24 GTS on 21” came with Pirelli’s. They’ve lasted 10k miles and 1 year. On Tuesday I’m getting non NF0 rated Hankook Ion Evo’s fitted.
It was that or PS4S (again non NF0 rated).

Have done the same.

Will be interesting to hear what you think - I reckon they're a good degree quieter and haven't noticed any decrease in handling.

Will need to give them a full year to check range to ensure it's not just seasonal variation I've seen, and to keep an eye on wear.

 

[bn8959]

That’s what’s I’m hoping. Would be nice to have slightly less noise, slightly better efficiency, and ideally no significant loss in handling.

One would think that the big tire companies would be working hard on designs specifically for EV's.
The company that gets it right will see good profits...I would pay a premium for a quiet, efficient, long life tire for my 4S
