Hyundai Ioniq-6 Tires

Here at SimpleTire, our team has gone through and picked out some of the best Hyundai Ioniq 6 tires, including summer/UHP, all-season UHP, all-season, all-weather, and winter tire choices. We then ranked them in Best/Great/Good order and used our SimpleScore system to assign numerical scores for the categories of handling, traction, and longevity for each one. Ready? Let’s get started:

1. Kumho Ecsta PA51 - Best All-Season tire

Let’s get this list going with the Kumho Ecsta PA51. Kumho designed the Ecsta PA51 to deliver the kind of braking, cornering, and handling performance you’d expect from a UHP tire along with year-round traction, thanks to wide circumferential grooves that divert water from the tire’s contact patch to help fight hydroplaning on wet pavement. Wide, rigid shoulder blocks help boost cornering ability (for a SimpleScore of 9.4 in handling), and a semi-solid center rib enhances straight-line stability, steering response, and road manners. Its advanced tread compound is designed for superb traction, stiffness for cornering ability, and long, even wear (for a 45,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty), and a system of sipes and specially-designed tread blocks work together to deliver winter traction. The Kumho Ecsta PA51 comes in at a slightly more affordable price point, but that doesn’t mean any kind of a serious tradeoff in performance or quality. Aggregate SimpleScore for the Kumho Ecsta PA51 is 8.8.

2. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus - Best UHP All-Season tire

Continental’s engineers wanted a tire that made no compromises when they designed the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus – a tire that can offer UHP levels of overall handling, cornering, braking, and steering response. That’s all, of course, along with the kind of dependable grip that you can count on to safely get through all kinds of weather conditions year-round. The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus offers added value when you bear in mind that most UHP and summer tires have to be swapped for all-season tires in colder weather due to a rubber formulation that will stiffen up and lose traction below 40-45 degrees F. Continental updated the proven design of the ExtremeContact DWS06 further in just about every area, starting with the Sport+ Tech package that delivers full-tilt performance and cornering ability. Reinforced 2-ply sidewalls and macroblocks in the tread boost handling confidence for an outstanding SimpleScore of 9.9 in that category. Year-round grip is improved with a silica-enriched tread compound for long wear and great wet-weather traction. Circumferential grooves, sweeping lateral grooves, and X-sipes give you the edge for rainy or light wintry conditions. SimpleScore for traction: a very solid 9.8. The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is covered by a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (unlike most UHP tires), for a SimpleScore of 9.2 in the longevity department.

3. Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 - Best Winter tire

For Hyundai Ioniq 6 drivers who live in areas that see tough winters – the kind where an all-season tire is just not going to be capable of safely getting you from A to B – there’s the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3. Sottozero is Italian for “below zero,” and this tire comes with Pirelli’s reputation for quality, engineering, and performance. The Sottozero 3’s innovative tread compound stays flexible and pliable for dependable traction in subfreezing weather with special polymers. Arrow-shaped blocks in the directional winter tread pattern and rounded shoulders that are rich with grooves help resist hydroplaning and channel l water and slush from the contact patch. 3D sipes add thousands of extra biting edges to dig in and deliver traction in snow and slush for a SimpleScore rating of 9.8. Internally, the Winter Sottozero 3 from Pirelli features two steel belts and a spiral-wrapped polyamide layer for high-speed stability and durability. The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service.

While these are the best Hyundai Ioniq 6 tires on the market, there are plenty of other options to consider:

4. Falken Azenis FK460 A/S - Great UHP All-Season tire

Here at SimpleTire, just about everything in the Falken brand has made a great impression on our team for some time now, and the Azenis FK460 A/S is no exception. The Falken Azenis FK460 A/S is a tire you can rely on for consistent grip in all kinds of weather, with its advanced 4D Nano tread compound. While most tires lose traction as tread depth wears down, the innovative Emerging Grooves tech of the Azenis FK460 A/S is designed to open the grooves up and expand for extended performance. The Canyon Groove design and circumferential grooves with chamfered edges enhance grip in wet or wintry conditions, working as a system to deliver the grip you need for a traction score of 8.6. Thanks in part to the wear-resistant properties of that 4D Nano tread compound, Falken covers the Azenis FK460 A/S with a 50,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty, rating a SimpleScore of 9.1 for longevity. Steering response, cornering, road manners, and braking performance are all precise and immediate with this tire, for a SimpleScore of 8.8 for handling. We should also mention here that the Azenis FK460 A/S is refined and quiet on the highway, with grooves that are acoustically tuned to keep road noise to a minimum by canceling certain frequencies and cutting wind noise.

5. Nitto Motivo - Good All-Season tire

We’re going to close out this list with the Nitto Motivo, a great value in an all-season tire that’s a favorite for its year-round traction, excellent wear properties, and its quiet, accommodating ride. The Nitto Motivo features an asymmetrical tread pattern, reinforced shoulders, solid center rib, and Nitto’s 3D multi-wave sipes to resist hydroplaning. It also features a silica-rich tread compound that delivers responsive cornering as well as all-season grip, for a SimpleScore of 8.8 in handling and 8.6 in traction. Nitto covers the Motivo with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, which is enough to register a solid SimpleScore of 8.1 for longevity. An interesting feature of the Nitto Motivo is its alignment indicators that can alert a driver to premature, uneven wear in case your wheel alignment is out of spec, something we wish that more tires would offer. In addition, the Nitto Motivo’s USA-made tire manufacturing processes have the goal of producing a tire that’s more uniform and consistent, with next-generation quality control and processes.
