Thanks to iON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, The iON evo pushes the limits of trade-offs to reach optimum performance. The iON evo is specifically tailored for electric vehicles, but it is also equipped with the best of both worlds.

To prevent groove resonance while driving, the iON evo has optimised the size of grooves. Expanding the 2 grooves on the inside wider has also improved drainage performance.
Expanding Lateral Grooves
Round Even Technology
ProDurable Compound
Optimised Multi-Pitch Sequencing through Opti Pitch Technology
Tyre noise can be drastically reduced by applying Opti Pitch Technology. The iON evo has fine-tuned the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.
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.
By achieving grade A in the EU tyre labelling wet grip item for all available sizes, the iON evo delivers ensured wet performance without missing noise reduction to maximise driving pleasure.
Wet Performance without missing Noise Reduction
Electric motors are almost soundless, which results in the driver hearing more noise from the tyres. With the i Sound Absorber Technology, the iON evo offers a quiet and pleasant ride at all speed ranges.
Hankook understands the concerns of losing energy while driving Electric Vehicles. By reducing the rolling resistance through Opti Cure Technology, the battery lasts longer to drive a longer distance. A few miles can be crucial during an emergency.
Tyres equipped on electric vehicles wear out approximately 20% faster with uneven wear than on ICE vehicles. iON evo achieves uniform contact pressure by optimising contact structure through Round Even Technology. The iON evo delivers longer usage and less frequent replacement.
Optimized Groove Size
Composed of advanced fillers and flexible rubber materials, ProDurable Compound delivers higher mileage.
The battery weight makes electric vehicles up to 30% heavier than ICE vehicles, which frequently causes uneven wear on the tyres. The iON evo is made of ProDurable Compound specifically made for electric vehicles to extend tyre life in a healthier condition. iON evo through Round Even Technology evenly spreads out road pressure by optimising the contact structure and provides the overall lifespan with uniform tread wear.
Designed to bear the initial torque power of electric vehicle motors, the iON evo offers excellent handling and grip performance for premium electric vehicles.

Does the job well
Decent tyre at a fair price. Tread pattern clears water well. Fitted before a long road trip.

Quiet and comfortable
Decent grip dry and wet, but they took a few hundred km to feel bedded in.

Braking feels secure
Brakes hard and straight, no pulling. Very reassuring. They're okay.

Solid choice
Very quiet on tarmac. The iON evo IK01 made my commute noticeably more relaxed. No squirm even on hot asphalt.

Impressed so far
Braking in the wet feels a touch longer than my old premium set, but at this price it's fair. They're okay. No squirm even on hot asphalt.

Okay for everyday driving
Decent tyre at a fair price. Tread pattern clears water well. Good in town and on the motorway alike. No squirm even on hot asphalt. Could be a touch quieter on rough tarmac.
