An objective take on OE tyres by Tyre Reviews using a Tesla model Y. Could be relevant for the Ioniq 5 as well.

That's insane price for the tyres. Also they seem to have lower life compared to other tyres. All the saving in fuel is wasted on tyres if it cost 2.5L to replace them every 30-35K kms.
My ZS EVs tyres are still going strong at 42K Kms and the replacement cost are on par with regular tyres.

At 60k per tyre for the OEM I might go for these if the original tyres wear out at 30k kms

From reading up online it seems people outside India have used the stock Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres upto 40-50k miles (65-80k km). So do check the tread wear yourself rather than just going by the dealers recommendation.

I'm not sure I agree with this. 95% of the EV's in India don't have EV specific tyres and I don't think they would matter that much given our road conditions. Actually all the EV's I've owned prior to the Ioniq and even the iX is absolutely fine with non-EV specific tyres. If they were slightly less expensive I woulnd't even have considered swapping but given that its amounting to 2.5lakhs pear year for tyres, it seems excessive.

Didn't push mine quite that far, the MRF I had on the Nexon EV were still going strong till 50k km when I sold it, but 1.5L seems extraordinary.

Agreed! My ZS EV tyres are still going strong at 40k km and I think they will be fine for another 10-15k.

The tread is starting to go but I will still pull it till I feel safe to do so, given mine is mostly highway usage I won't be taking too many chances.

I am guessing it has a lot to do with our road conditions as well. Been reading up on the Ioniq forums and the general consensus seems to be non-EV specific tyres are also fine but those that want the OEM setup stick to the EV version. Keeping in mind they're a lot more affordable overseas than here.

I came across in this video see at 20:30 onwards, this gentleman has used the stock tyres for 1.6L km and attributes this to regen braking

From what I have read online it seems that the tyre noise issue is negligible but efficiency/range decrease has been noted by people of around 50km per charge cycle.

Also I would suggest trying to source the Pirelli P Zero ELECT tyres from a Pirelli dealer also (ELECT is pirelli's branding for EV specific tyres), that tyre has been used as stock tyre in some countries for KIA EVs and has better treadwear than the Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres.

After a long journey, the car had gotten quite a bit dusty inside. I used the V2L to vacuum the car. Cleaned the carpets like new. Takes about 0.9 kw...hardly had any impact on the charge used for the 25 or so mins I used it.

You brought up an interesting point. How were you able to open up the V2L? Is it difficult to open or opened smoothly? I agree I am not as strong as I used to be at one time (owing to my sickness & health) but I simply cannot get it to open AT ALL. It's just too too tight for me. Not sure if that's how the build is for everyone or is it that way for this specific piece alone?

It took a bit of fiddling to open the back part of the V2L(where your device plugs in). I suggest open that first, and then plug into the car , rather than first plugging in the V2L and later struggling to get the back part to open

Yes. I have been trying to do exactly that. I have been trying to open it before I plug it into the vehicle. However, it is so tightly shut, that I am not able to open it with my strength. I have already mentioned this as a complaint to Hyundai saying that you give me a 50,00,00 vehicle and you give me a Feature where I can use the vehicles charge to charge other devices, but you give me such a feeble connectivity that I am not able to open at all.

You will see a grey serrations on the device (on both lateral ends of the plug cover). You need to push both of these inwards and then pull the grey plug cover downwards. It's not easy to unlock, but that is how it is to be done.
