Hey folks,
for those who have had recent deliveries (basically since summer break), what tires have been coming on the 19" wheels?
Are they still coming shod with Hankook Kinergy EV, or has it shifted over to Bridgestone Alenzas?

Not in the US, but in Canada, this newly delivered ID4 Pro (with 19" wheels) looks to have Alenzas on it based on the sidewall markings I can make out: Facebook

I'm assuming they're putting the same tires on all US/Canada ID4s.

Damn, I really would have rather had the Hankooks, oh well. eventually we'll replace them with conti/Michelin when those finally become available in the states

I got the Bridgestone Alenza on mine that was purchased last week but was delivered to dealer about a month ago

Tire Rack shows compatible Michelin's now for both 19"s and 20". More options in the 19" size than the 20" size for sure.

Yeah, but not the EV specific tires. And I'm not about to shell out $1200+ to replace brand new tires just to get the hankooks, I'm sure we'll be fine with the car when it arrives.
Back to back test drives way back in the spring had us much happier on the 19's with hankooks than the 20s with Alenza, so let's hope most of that comfort and quieter ride was down to wheel size (though I know that's not the whole story)

For what it's worth, if anyone's expecting to drive in inclement weather (snow) on the stock tires, the Alenzas have a much more aggressive tread design (a lot more sipes) which should work a lot better than the almost summer tire-like Hankook tread design.

Hankook. Sept 14th straight off the truck from the dealer.

Wheel size is the biggest factor for comfort IMHO. It's why I didn't get the gradient package, I didn't want the lower profile of the larger wheel. My wife was disappointed the car didn't come with the silver accents, I pointed out the comfort is felt from the inside while driving, however you can't see the silver when driving!!

Yup... That's why we found a dealer who will swap the wheels for us, and so we ordered 2
Now if only we had a train tracking resource as robust as our transatlantic shipping expertise, haha.
