Tyre characteristicsReinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
Rim protection stripRim protectionA raised rubber profile near the bead helps protect the rim edge from light kerb contact. It cannot prevent every type of wheel damage.
Special characteristicsSuitable for electric vehiclesThis tyre is optimised for the weight, torque, rolling resistance and noise requirements of electric and hybrid vehicles. The marking does not mean that it can only be used on an EV.
Speed indexThe speed index indicates the maximum approved speed.Y (max. 300 km/h)
Load indexThe load index indicates the maximum load capacity per tyre.100 (max. 800 kg)
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.

Improved Wet Grip:
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.
Tyre noise can be drastically reduced by applying Opti Pitch Technology. The iON evo has optimised the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.
To prevent groove resonance while driving, the iON evo has optimized the size of grooves. Expanding the 2 grooves on the inside wider has also improved drainage performance.
ProDurable Compound
Composed of advanced fillers and flexible rubber materials, ProDurable Compound provides higher mileage.
Optimized Multi-Pitch Sequencing through Opti Pitch Technology
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.
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.
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.
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.
Designed to bear the initial torque power of electric vehicle motors, the iON evo offers excellent handling and grip performance for premium electric vehicles.
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.

Okay for everyday driving
The car feels more stable in crosswinds since fitting these.

Handles well
Not the grippiest in hard cornering, but for normal driving they're more than adequate. Took a few hundred km to bed in.

No complaints so far
Good tyre overall. Would have liked a bit more feedback through the steering.
