Go Further for More Experience

Battery weight makes electric vehicles up to 30% heavier than ICE vehicles, which frequently causes uneven wear on non-EV specific tires. The iON evo AS SUV is made of a compound specifically made for electric vehicles to evenly spread road pressure to account for this different and extend tire life.

Even Tread Wear

Optimized Ground Pressure Distribution
Tires equipped on electric vehicles wear out approximately 20% faster with uneven wear than on ICE vehicles. Designed to spread the ground pressure evenly, the iON evo AS SUV provides longer usage and less replacement.

Extended Tread Life

Evolution Compound
Composed with high-concentration silica and eco-friendly materials, the EVolution compound provides satisfactory mileage.

Drive in Peace, Quiet & Comfort

Noise Proof Technology

Electric motors are almost soundless which allows the driver to hear more noise from tires. With the Hankook Sound Absorber^TM, the iON evo AS SUV offers a quiet and pleasant ride in all speed ranges.

Minimized Cavity Noise

Noise Absorbing Material
By applying a noise absorbing material inside, cavity noise is decreased up to 9dB.

Noise Reduction Achieved via Specialized Tread Pattern

Knurling Technology
The iON evo AS SUV's knurling technology applied inside the grooves effectively reduces tread pattern noise during road contact by narrowing the air path while maintaining the groove's intended performance features.

Optimized Multi-Pitch Sequencing
Tire noise can be drastically reduced by optimizing the pitch sequence. iON evo AS SUV has optimized the number and size of pitches to ensure quiet comfort.

CHARGE LESS, CRUISE MORE

Extended Range

Hankook understands the concerns of loosing energy while driving Electric Vehicles. By reducing the rolling resistance, the battery charge lasts longer.

Extended Range

Optimized Curing
Thanks to Hankook Tire's advanced compound and optimized curing technology, the rolling resistance is reduced to extend battery life.

Hold Tight, Stay Strong

Exceptional Grip and Enhanced Rigidity

Considering electric vehicles are up to 30% heavier than conventional ICE vehicles, the iON evo AS SUV was developed to feature a high rigidity profile and tread design that provides an exceptional grip that performs equally well in dry, wet and mild winter driving conditions.

Enhanced Cornering Stability

EV Contour Technology
To manage the weight of electric vehicles, tire stiffness is essential. Hankook Tires’s EV Contour Technology increases lateral rigidity by 25%, and cornering rigidity by 20% compared to all- season touring tires for ICEs, to advance electric vehicle grip performance.

Improved All-season Handling

3D GripKontrol Sipes
The 3D GripKontrol sipes are placed on the main treads to keep the tire in an optimize shape. This helps to provide outstanding grip performance on dry, wet roads and light snow.
