Hankook iON Evo AS IH01 All-Season Tire
Meet the Hankook iON Evo AS IH01, an all-season performance tire built for confident handling, quiet comfort, and reliable year-round traction. Its advanced rubber blend stays flexible as temperatures drop, and the siped tread channels water to help resist hydroplaning. A reinforced casing supports responsive steering and predictable braking on daily commutes and long highway drives. If you want more comfort without giving up control in mixed weather, the iON Evo AS IH01 delivers a refined ride with durability in mind.
Features and Benefits
The iON Evo AS IH01 blends all-season versatility with a premium ride. Progrip Compound keeps the tread pliable in heat, rain, and mild winter cold, and Grip Claw Technology stabilizes the blocks for sure-footed braking and cornering. Wide grooves and multi-directional sipes move water away to cut hydroplaning risk, while a staggered pitch pattern helps hush road noise. A reinforced bead and robust internal build promote even wear, so with regular rotations you get quiet comfort, confident traction, and long-term value.
On‑Road Performance: Wet, Dry, and Light Snow
On dry pavement, the iON Evo AS IH01 feels stable and composed, with precise turn-in and confident braking. In the rain, wide grooves and dense siping clear water quickly to preserve grip and cut the chance of hydroplaning. In light snow and cold, a cold-weather compound and tightly packed sipes support traction for everyday winter driving. For heavy snow or long stretches of sub-freezing weather, dedicated winter tires remain the safer choice.
Sizes and Fitment
The iON Evo AS IH01 comes in popular performance sizes from 18 to 21 inches, with XL load options for heavier vehicles. Common fitments include 235/45R18, 255/45R19, 255/40R20, and 275/35R21 with W speed ratings. Always confirm size, load index, and speed rating from the driver door-jamb placard or the owner manual, since wheel packages can change OE specs. If you are unsure, our fitment team can verify compatibility and arrange installation.

Pricing and Value
Pricing for the iON Evo AS IH01 depends on size, load rating, and speed symbol, with larger diameters and XL constructions costing more. Watch for seasonal promos, installation bundles, and road hazard coverage for extra peace of mind. Factoring in its quiet ride, all-weather traction, and durable build, the IH01 is strong value in the premium all-season class. Add professional mounting, TPMS service if needed, and a four-tire alignment check to protect your investment and maximize tread life.
Design and Construction
A silica-rich Progrip Compound stays flexible across a wide temperature range, which promotes grip and even wear. Grip Claw Technology helps lock in tread block stability for confident braking and cornering forces. An asymmetric tread pairs wide circumferential channels with lateral notches to move water efficiently, and a variable pitch targets lower road noise. Inside, reinforced belts and a resilient cap ply support high-speed stability and precise steering for a calm, premium feel on the road.
Hankook iON Evo AS IH01 vs. Other All‑Season Options
Shoppers often compare the iON Evo AS IH01 with the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack, and Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season. The IH01 leans into a quiet ride, wet-weather confidence, and stable handling with a modern compound and reinforced build. Some rivals skew sportier or prioritize plush touring comfort. Your best pick depends on steering feel, winter needs, treadwear expectations, and budget, so review size-specific specs and get professional fitment advice for a true apples-to-apples choice.
Maintenance Tips for Longevity
Rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or per your vehicle schedule, to keep wear even. Maintain OE-recommended pressures, check monthly and before trips, to support handling, braking, and tread life. Have alignment and suspension inspected yearly, and rebalance if vibration appears. Smooth driving and avoiding pothole hits help preserve the quiet ride and consistent all-season traction mile after mile.
