I would be interested to see what tyres people are choosing when they need to replace the original ones. My Ariya has the 20" wheels and came with the Dunlop's from the factory. At 18k miles they have done reasonably well and still have quite a bit of tread, but no longer feel safe on a wet motorway, so looking to replace them soon. The OEM spec of the Dunlop's is hard to find, so considering other makes. Michelin are an obvious choice, also considering the Hankook ion Evo SUV as an EV specific tyre.
Has anybody else got to replacing their tyres, what did you go for, and how are they?

My Ariya has been in for its service and health check today and the front tyres have been highlighted as needing replacing soon. If they did the replacements they would put Hankook K127A's on.

Mine came new with Bridgestone Alenza 235/55 R19 V101.

The factory Bridgestone on my 87 kWh Advance are terrible in slightly damp conditions

Or is that the car?

I would say that's a thing on your tires, my Ariya has the Dunlops and they are grippy enough.

Any update on which tyres you went for?

I ended up getting the Hankook ion Evo SUV tyres all round. Have done about 1500 miles, and so far impressed, but still early days. I've had the Hankook OEM tyres on my wife's Mini Cooper SE since new (22k miles and still have life) and been really happy with them, so hopefully these ones on the Ariya will do better than the original Dunlop's. I'll update again in about 6 weeks when they have done 3000 miles.
