In the middle of 2022, iON launched the full lineup of worldwide replacement tires for electric vehicles. The lineup includes the ‘iON evo’ for the summer season, the ‘iON evo AS’ for all seasons, and the ‘iON i*cept’ for winter. For example, Hankook Tire spent a lot of resources and years in the development phase. As you know an electric vehicle that can develop ultimate torque from the start may encounter a problem with grip force, or may even encounter tread loss. To withstand momentary high power, Hankook uses the latest innovations and best technologies. In the section below we will talk about the first model.
Above all, we should point out that in the production of the iON Evo, engineers use the next-generation rubber compound shaped into a unique EVoution pattern design optimized for the special requirement of EVs. Moreover, it presents lower contact pressure thanks to the tread block. In other words, the tire can withstand a high load of electric vehicles. As a result, it provides excellent handling and superb grip power, as well as long mileage.
Four linear grooves with unique design offers great heat dispersion and superb water drainage for extra contact area. Continuous center ribs offer the best steering precision for maximum EV control. Weight improved internal carcass delivers enough strength and stability to resist high torque and instant staring forces. While reinforced sidewalls made from strong compound stays confident in sharp corners in high speed applications. Best of all, Hankook iON evo has obtained the EU labeling grade A/A/A classified by tire rolling resistance, braking on wet surfaces, and acoustic comfort. This model is developed in many sizes with wheel diameters from 18" to 22".
