OVERVIEW

The Hankook iON evo is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Hankook offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire. This model is designed for electric vehicles.

The optimal tread design and the flat footprint allow the tire to increase surface contact throughout the performance. The asymmetric tread’s center ribs increase steering responsiveness and driving stability by improving road contact. The steering, in this manner, becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands. The structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The tread design’s siping details upgrade the braking capability. These sipes create friction between the road and the tire at the moment of braking, which decreases the model’s braking distance.

The ideal tread design and the summer compound offer great summer weather traction. The durable summer compound and the ideal tread design enhance dry and wet, summer-weather grip. The strong compound elements improve the heat resistance by easing the pressure off the tire during its performance. Additionally, the optimal road-to-rubber ratio enhances the grip on the road. The wide, circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning, by dispersing water from the footprint in wet-weather conditions.

This model offers exceptional driving durability. The tread design and the strong structure improve the tire’s high speed performance. The tread eases the pressure off the tire, reducing pressure build-up while the tires are in motion. At the same time, the structure maintains the ideal tire shape under driving pressure. As the tire does not deform, it is able to handle high speed durability. This combination enables the tire to securely perform at its best high speed ability.

The Hankook iON evo's tread design and rubber compound ensure a quiet performance. The passengers can enjoy high driving comfort levels by reducing road noise. This is achieved with the optimized tread elements that prevent sound wave formations. As road noise does not reach the vehicle’s cabin, the tire makes sure to promote a quiet driving experience.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
