Evolutionized to perform more in winter

Double the Advantage

The iON i*cept pushes the limits of trade-offs to reach optimum performance. The iON i*cept is specifically tailored for electric vehicles, but also equipped with the best of both worlds.

DRIVE IN PEACE

Noise Proof Technology

Electric motors are almost soundless which eventually causes the driver to hear more noise from tires. With the Hankook Sound Absorber^TM applied, the iON i*cept offers a quiet and pleasant ride in all speed ranges.

Minimized Tread Pattern Noise

V-Shaped Shifting Pattern
The iON i*cept's V-shaped pattern spreads the road noise due to alternatively shifting inside and outside blocks during road contact which also provides additional snow traction.

Multi-Pitch Optimization
Tire noise can be drastically reduced by optimizing the pitch sequence. The iON i*cept has optimized the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.

Minimized Cavity Noise

Knurling Technology
The iON i*cept's knurling technology applied inside the grooves effectively reduces resonance noise during road contact by narrowing the air path, without losing the groove's intended features.

CHARGE LESS, CRUISE MORE

Extended Range

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

Further Reduced Rolling Resistance

Optimized Curing
The iON i*cept achieved a decent grade in LRR performance by applying an advanced compound and Hankook tire’s optimised curing technology which improves all parts of the tire equally.

Aerodynamic Profile
The Aerodynamic profile of the iON i*cept reduces air / rolling resistance, also noise.

HANDLE THE WINTER

Advanced Handling In Winter Conditions

The iON i*cept is engineered and designed to withstand the high torque power of Electric Vehicles and to provide accurate handling to keep you safe in all winter conditions.

Enhanced Cornering Stability

EV Contour Technology
Tire stiffness is essential to be improved to withstand the weight of electric vehicles. Hankook’s EV Contour Technology increases cornering stiffness by 7% to advance electric vehicle handling performance.

Improved Snow Traction

Optimized Sipe Angles
The angles of sipes on the iON i*cept are optimized to improve braking and traction on snow. The accuracy of sipe angles can significantly improve safety on snowy roads.

Superior Handling on Winter Roads

Diversified Sipes
The tread pattern rigidity is optimized by applying 2D sipes in the centre and 3D sipes in the blocks surrounding. This allows the iON i*cept to provide superior handling on all types of winter road surfaces.

Advanced Snow Performance secured, adding Reduced Rolling Resistance

EVolution Compound
Composed with high-concentration silica and eco-friendly materials, the EVolution compound provides satisfactory mileage and further reduced rolling resistance without missing snow performance.

Improved Wet Grip

Water Pipe Kerf
Water pipe kerfs are placed inside the shoulder blocks for water drainage from the main groove, which maximizes grip on wet roads.
