Introducing the Hankook iON evo R – an innovative summer tyre designed to fully unlock the potential of electric vehicles. It is also suitable for installation on vehicles with internal combustion engines. The model is developed with iON Innovative Technology, ensuring an enjoyable driving experience and a high level of safety. The triple-A rating on the EU label confirms its outstanding performance, while the sleek sidewall design enhances the tyre's overall aesthetic appeal.
Comfortable driving on any surface
The asymmetric tread design has been developed using Grip Boost technology. The rib pattern ensures optimal grip on all summer surfaces. Impressive performance on both dry and wet surfaces, along with a short braking distance, ensure safety and deliver an exhilarating driving experience.
The three robust ribs contribute to optimal tyre rigidity. These ribs ensure superior stability and grip, whether on straight roads at high speeds or while navigating corners. "The expanding, asymmetrically placed grooves on the shoulder significantly improve effective water evacuation from beneath the tyres. The driver gains confidence in handling on wet surfaces, while the risk of aquaplaning is significantly reduced.
Robust reinforcement
One of the key features of an electric vehicle is its exceptionally high torque. The iON Evo R model is equipped with additional reinforcement in the form of a hybrid aramid fibre belt. This provides optimal stability and increases tyre rigidity, essential for handling the increased vehicle weight and high power output. Widened shoulder ribs to further increase the tyre's contact with the road, which prevents wheel slip when starting.
A quiet, comfortable ride
Equipped with Sound Absorber technology, the iON Evo R maximises the quiet experience offered by the electric drivetrain. The strategic arrangement of tread blocks helps to effectively disperse the noise generated by the tyres while driving. The applied soundproofing foam not only dampens noise but also effectively reduces shocks during driving.
Reduced rolling resistance
The energy efficiency of the tyres plays a vital role for electric vehicle owners. Opti Cure technology in the iON Evo R is an advanced vulcanisation process that results in more consistent rubber layer formation. This ensures the tread maintains complete contact with the surface, reducing energy losses while driving.
Hankook is known for producing tyres that fall within the mid-range class. Thanks to its advanced technologies and extensive development department, its products can successfully compete with premium models. The high quality of the brand's tyres is confirmed by the fact that they are often the first choice of car manufacturers such as Audi, BWM, and Porsche.
