    DRIVE IN PEACE

    Noise Proof Technology

    Electric motors are almost soundless, which results in the driver hearing more noise from the tyres. With the i Sound Absorber Technology, the iON evo SUV offers a quiet and pleasant ride at all speed ranges.

    Minimised Tread Pattern Noise

    Optimised Multi-Pitch Sequencing through Opti Pitch Technology
    Tyre noise can be drastically reduced by applying Opti Pitch Technology. The iON evo SUV has optimised the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.

    Even Tread Wear And Enhanced Mileage

    The battery weight makes electric vehicles up to 30% heavier than ICE vehicles, which frequently causes uneven wear on the tyres. The iON evo SUV is made of ProDurable Compound specifically made for electric vehicles to extend tyre life in a healthier condition. iON evo SUV through Round Even Technology evenly spreads out road pressure by optimising the contact structure and provides the overall lifespan with uniform tread wear.

    Extended Tread Life

    ProDurable Compound
    Composed of advanced fillers and flexible rubber materials, ProDurable Compound provides higher mileage.

    Even Tread Wear

    Round Even Technology
    Tyres equipped on electric vehicles wear out approximately 20% faster with uneven wear than on ICE vehicles. iON evo SUV achieves uniform contact pressure by optimising contact structure through Round Even Technology. The iON evo SUV provides longer usage and less frequent replacement.

    CHARGE LESS, CRUISE MORE

    Extended Range

    Hankook understands the concerns of losing energy while driving Electric Vehicles. By reducing the rolling resistance through Opti Cure Technology, the battery lasts longer to drive a longer distance. A few miles can be crucial during an emergency.

    Further Reduced Rolling Resistance

    Opti Cure technology
    The iON evo SUV achieved the highest grade of LRR performance by applying Opti Cure Technology which improves all parts of the tyre equally.

    BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL

    Advanced Handling

    Designed to bear the initial torque power of electric vehicle motors, the iON evo SUV offers excellent handling and grip performance for premium electric vehicles.

    Enhanced Cornering Stability

    Grip Boost Technology
    It is essential to improve tyre stiffness to bear the weight of electric vehicles. Grip Boost Technology increases cornering stiffness by 10% to improve the electric vehicle’s handling performance.

    Improved Steering at High Speeds

    Aramid Hybrid Reinforcement Belt
    A reinforcement belt mixed with the most advanced fiber, Aramid, is applied on the iON evo SUV to improve steering performance and maintain an optimised shape during high-speed driving.

    Excellent Traction

    Extended Shoulder Blocks with Optimised Rigidity
    To prevent slippage caused by the high torque of electric vehicles, the pattern block rigidity is optimised with extended outside shoulder blocks for maximum road contact.

    GRIP MAINTAINED IN THE RAIN

    Enhanced Wet Grip

    By achieving grade A in the EU tyre labelling wet grip item for all available sizes, the iON evo SUV provides guaranteed wet performance without missing noise reduction to maximise driving pleasure.

    Wet Performance without missing Noise Reduction

    Expanding Lateral Grooves
    The lateral grooves are designed narrower on the inside to reduce air-pumping noise, and wider on the outside to secure wet performance. This is another double advantage of the iON evo SUV.

    Optimised Groove Size
    To prevent groove resonance while driving, the iON evo SUV has optimised the size of grooves. Expanding the 2 grooves on the inside wider has also improved drainage performance.
