The tyres are very quiet and comfortable as well. My fuel consumption is practically the same as with summer tyres. They also cope with more spirited driving. We’ll have to wait a bit longer to assess their behaviour in snow and their longevity.
The tyres ordered on 29/09 were cancelled by Reifenleader – allegedly unavailable, yet the price was immediately increased. Because I definitely wanted these tyres on my SQ8 e-tron due to their excellent test results, I placed a new order. Once again, the ordering process was arduous. Only after an extensive email exchange with customer service and a contemplated cancellation were the tyres finally delivered. The tyre performs exactly as described in many tests, developed for quiet electric vehicles. I am more than satisfied and happy with the tyre itself, but the route via Reifenleader.de was rocky and difficult – next time I might spend more money and order from a competitor...
The tyres are great.
Very quiet and comfortable, well balanced. Slightly less grip in dry and warm conditions.
I’ve had the Hankook iON i*cept SUV tyres fitted to my Tesla Model Y since mid-October. So far, I’m very pleased: the handling is stable and comfortable, the rolling noise is surprisingly low, and the overall driving feel is very well balanced. Road grip also makes a good impression. I was particularly pleased that the tyres supplied were manufactured in 2025 – that’s excellent! Last time, I received tyres that were 1.5 years old from another supplier, so I’m all the more delighted. Price-wise, ReifenLeader is always very attractive – all the other suppliers were significantly more expensive for these tyres. As I’ve only been driving on them for a short time, I can’t yet comment on their long-term performance or behaviour in snow and ice, but my first impression is definitely very positive.
Delivery as ordered
Tires mounted on a set of winter rims (size therefore smaller than the rim and obviously the tire compared to the factory supply for the model), my driving was mainly highway, let's say a 60-20-20 between highway, suburban and urban, very satisfactory consumption considering the winter tires and the road traveled (about 19.6 kWh/100 km). Excellent grip, I deliberately tested the tire on snowy/icy roads in the mountains and received excellent feedback from it (perhaps also thanks to the excellent all-wheel drive) Tire wear is average, now being a little over halfway through its life on the rear after 20k km
Incredible tyre in snow and ice, and above all very quiet.
Excellent
I have just swapped for these winter tyres, to my great surprise they are much quieter than my summer tyres (originally from Tesla of the same brand), the grip on snowy roads is excellent, the price is reasonable compared to other brands, I think the handling is justified. You won't regret it.
