Hankook 1033440 iON evo IK01 245/35ZR21 96Y XL Summer UHP EV Passenger Tire

The Hankook iON evo IK01 (245/35ZR21 96Y XL) is an ultra-high-performance summer tire purpose-built for electric vehicles and performance-oriented passenger cars. Engineered to handle the unique demands of EVs — including heavier curb weights and instant torque delivery — this tire delivers confident handling, reduced rolling resistance, and a remarkably quiet cabin experience.

Key Features:

• EVolution Compound: High-concentration silica compound specifically formulated for electric vehicles, delivering long tread life while reducing rolling resistance to help extend battery range
• EV Contour Technology: Optimized ground pressure distribution spreads load evenly across the contact patch, supporting the heavier weight of EV platforms and promoting even tread wear

• Aramid Hybrid Reinforcement Belt: High-strength aramid belt construction enhances steering precision, improves cornering stiffness, and maintains tire shape integrity at highway speeds
• Optimized Multi-Pitch Sequencing: Advanced tread pattern design minimizes tread noise for a refined, quiet ride
• Extended Outside Shoulder Blocks: Provide enhanced cornering stability and improved high-speed performance
• Expanding Lateral Grooves: Improve wet grip and water evacuation while helping maintain noise reduction
