Details for Hankook iON evo SUV IK01A | Pace Tire Center Central City, KY

Aced All Grades / Triple A rated in EU Tire label The iON evo SUV achieved a hat-trick in the EU Tire label grade which is extremely exceptional in the tire industry, and especially first for an EV exclusive tire.

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 SUV 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 SUV 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 SUV is made of ProDurable Compound specifically made for electric vehicles to extend tire life in a healthier condition. iON evo SUV 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 SUV achieves uniform contact pressure by optimizing contact structure through Round Even Technology. The iON evo SUV provides longer usage and less frequent replacement.

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 SUV achieved the highest grade of LRR performance by applying Opti Cure Technology which improves all parts of the tire equally.

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 vehicleâ€™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 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.

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

Wet Performance without missing Noise Reduction / 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.

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