Hankook iON Evo SUV Summer Performance Tire

The Hankook iON Evo SUV (IK01A) is a summer performance tire made for electric and plug-in hybrid SUVs and crossovers. It is built to cope with the instant torque and extra weight of EVs. It aims to give confident grip, a quiet ride and efficient rolling in warm-weather driving.

Key Features:

• EV-specific design: The tire is engineered for the heavier loads and high instant torque of electric SUVs.
• Grip and handling: EV contour technology increases cornering stiffness by about 10 percent. Stiff shoulder blocks support stable turn-in.
• Wet performance: Wide circumferential grooves and lateral channels move water away from the contact patch to help wet grip and braking.
• Quiet ride: Opti Pitch multi-pitch sequencing reduces road noise, which suits the quiet cabins of EVs.
• Long wear: The ProDurable Compound combines high-concentration silica with eco-friendly materials. It helps spread ground pressure evenly to support tread life.
• Low rolling resistance: Opti Cure technology and the silica-rich compound reduce energy loss to help extend driving range.
• Asymmetric tread design: Balances dry grip, wet traction and efficiency.

This tire is a summer tire and is not intended for use when temperatures are consistently cold. It suits drivers who want a refined, efficient and capable tire for an electric SUV.
