DRIVE IN PEACE

Noise Proof Technology

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

Minimized Tread Pattern Noise

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

Even Tread Wear And Enhanced Mileage

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

Extended Tread Life

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

Even Tread Wear

Round Even Technology
Tires equipped on electric vehicles wear out approximately 20% faster with uneven wear than on ICE vehicles. iON evo achieves uniform contact pressure by optimizing contact structure through Round Even Technology. The iON evo 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 Tehcnology, 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 achieved the highest grade of LRR performance by applying Opti Cure Technology which improves all parts of the tire equally.

* EU label grade varies by size. Please refer to specification details below.

BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL

Advanced Handling

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

Enhanced Cornering Stability

Grip Boost Technology
It is essential to improve tire 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 to improve steering performance and maintain an optimized shape during high-speed driving.

Excellent Traction

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

GRIP MAINTAINED IN THE RAIN

Enhanced Wet Grip

By achieving grade A in the EU tire labelling wet grip item
for all available sizes, the iON evo provides guaranteed wet performance without missing noise reduction to
maximize 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.

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