Hyundai Ioniq 6 Tires
Introduced in 2016, the Hyundai Ioniq is a five-door compact that has the distinction of being available as either a hybrid or all-electric. Thanks to aerodynamics and weight-saving measures, the Ioniq hybrid surpasses the Toyota Prius in fuel economy. The Ioniq 6 is the all-electric iteration of the Ioniq and is designed with cutting-edge technology such as software that’s automatically updated over the air with tweaks to the suspension, driveline, brakes, and airbags. The Ioniq 6 is a performance-oriented EV with performance tuning technology, virtual driving sound, and active driving sound built in, and a motorsports iteration that’s in development. The Ioniq 6 is also very driver-oriented with navigation-based smart cruise control, automatic parking assistance, and highway driving assistance, among others. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 shares some commonalities with the Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6.

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 45,0
