Hankook 1033432 iON evo IK01 245/45ZR19XL 102Y Summer UHP EV Tire

The Hankook iON evo IK01 (245/45ZR19XL 102Y) is a ultra-high-performance summer tire engineered specifically for electric vehicles. Built around Hankook's iON Innovative Technology platform, it balances maximum grip, extended range, and a whisper-quiet cabin experience — addressing the unique demands that EV powertrains place on tires.

Key Features:

• EV Contour Technology – Reinforced casing structure increases cornering rigidity by approximately 10%, compensating for the added weight of EV battery packs and sharpening handling response.
• iSound Absorber Technology – An internal foam layer dampens cavity resonance noise, delivering a noticeably quieter ride — critical in the near-silent cabin of an electric vehicle.
• Opti Pitch Technology – Optimized multi-pitch tread sequencing minimizes pattern noise across all speed ranges.
• ProDurable Compound – Advanced filler materials and flexible rubber formulation extend tread life, helping offset the accelerated wear EVs can cause due to instant torque delivery.
• Round Even Technology – Optimized contact-patch structure distributes road pressure evenly, promoting uniform tread wear for a longer service life.
• Extra Load (XL) Rating – Reinforced construction supports the higher load demands of heavier EV platforms.
• Black Sidewall (BW) – Clean, classic sidewall finish.
• Summer Performance – Designed for warm, dry, and wet conditions; not intended for winter or near-freezing temperatures.
