Key Performance
Double the Advantage
The iON evo (and SUV) pushes the limits of trade-offs to reach optimum performance.
The iON evo (and SUV) is specifically tailored for electric vehicles, but also equipped with the best of both worlds.

Aced All Grades
Triple A rated in EU Tyre label
The iON evo (and SUV) achieved a hat-trick in the EU Tyre label grade which is extremely exceptional in the tire industry, and especially first for an EV exclusive tire.

Key Performance
Drive in Peace
Noise Proof Technology
Electric motors are almost soundless which eventually causes the driver to hear more noise from tyres.
With the Hankook Sound AbsorberTM, the iON evo (and SUV) offers a
quiet and pleasant ride in all speed ranges.
Minimized Tread Pattern Noise
Optimized Multi-Pitch Sequencing
Tire noise can be drastically reduced by optimizing the pitch sequence. The iON evo
(and SUV) has optimized the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.

Features and Benefits

Even Tread Wear and Enhanced Mileage
Battery weight makes electric vehicles up to 30% heavier than ICE vehicles, which frequently causes
uneven wear on tyres. The iON evo (and SUV) is made of a compound specifically made for electric
vehicles to evenly spread road pressure and extend tyre life in a healthier condition.
Extended Tread Life
EVolution Compound
Composed with high-concentration silica and eco-friendly materials, the EVolution compound provides satisfactory mileage and further reduced rolling resistance.
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 (and
SUV) provides longer usage and less replacement.
Conventional
Features and Benefits
Optimized Curing
CThe iON evo (and SUV) achieved the highest grade of LRR performance by
applying an advanced compound and Hankook tire’s optimized curing technology
which improves all parts of the tire equally.
Further Reduced Rolling Resistance
Charge Less, Cruise More
Extended Range
Hankook understands the concerns of loosing energy while driving Electric Vehicles.
By reducing the rolling resistance, the battery lasts longer to drive a longer distance.
A few miles can be crucial during an emergency.

Features and Benefits
Be in Complete Control
Advanced Handling
Designed to bear the initial torque power of Electric Vehicle motors,
the iON evo (and SUV) offers excellent handling and grip performance for premium electric vehicles.
Enhanced Cornering Stability
EV Contour Technology
Tire stiffness is essential to be improved to bear the weight
of electric vehicles. Hankook’s EV Contour Technology
increases cornering stiffness by 10% to advance electric
vehicle handling performance.
Improved Steering at High Speeds
Aramid Hybrid Reinforcement Belt
A reinforcement belt mixed with the most advanced fiber,
Aramid, is applied on the iON evo (and SUV) to improve
steering performance and maintain an optimized shape
during high-speed driving.
Excellent Traction
Extended Shoulder Blocks with Optimized Rigidity
To prevent slippage caused by the high torque of electric
vehicles, the pattern block rigidity is optimized with
extended outside shoulder blocks for maximum road
contact.
Features and Benefits
Grip Maintained in the Rain
Enhanced Wet Grip
By achieving grade A in the EU tyre labelling wet grip item for all available sizes,
the iON evo (and SUV) provides guaranteed wet performance without missing noise
reduction to maximize driving pleasure.

​Expanding Lateral Grooves
The lateral grooves are designed narrower on the
inside to reduce air-pumping noise, and wider on
the outside to secure wet performance.
This is another double advantage of the iON evo
(and SUV).
Optimized Groove Size
To prevent groove resonance while driving,
the iON evo (and SUV) has optimized the size of
grooves. Expanding the 2 grooves on the inside
wider has also improved drainage performance.
