Hankook iON evo AS 235/45R18 98W XL EV

Thanks to Hankook Tire's EVolution technology, the iON evo AS has pushed the limits to bridge the gaps between grip performance and noise / tread wear. 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 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 provides longer usage and l
• Extended Tread Life: Evolution Compound Composed with high-concentration silica and eco-friendly materials, the EVolution compound provides satisfactory mileage.
• 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's knurling technology applied inside the grooves effectively reduces tread pattern noise during road contact by narrowing the air path while maintaining the groove
• Extended Range: Optimized Curing Thanks to Hankook Tire's advanced compound and optimized curing technology, the rolling resistance is reduced to extend battery life.
• Enhanced Cornering Stability: 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, t
• Improved All-season Handling: 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.
