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.
Special characteristicsMud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.Suitable 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.V (max. 240 km/h)
Load indexThe load index indicates the maximum load capacity per tyre.88 (max. 560 kg)
Optimized Multi-Pitch Sequencing through Opti Pitch Technology
Vibration Control Technology
Electric motors are almost soundless which results in the driver hearing more noise from the tyres. With i Sound Absorber Technology, the iON ST AS offers a quiet and pleasant ride in all speed ranges.
The iON ST AS achieved the highest grade of LRR performance by applying Opti Cure Technology which improves all parts of the tyre equally.
Thanks to iON innovative technology, the iON ST AS has pushed the limits to bridge the gaps between grip performance and noise / tread wear.
The iON ST AS offers a quiet & pleasant ride in all speed ranges.
Block Edge Chamfer is applied to minimise the impact with the road surface to improve noise performance.
It offers improved noise performance by 1dB.
The block angle was designed to improve noise performance by maintaining rigidity through HK noise simulation and rigidity analysis.
Tyre noise can be drastically lower by applying Opti Pitch Technology. The iON ST AS has optimized the number and size of pitches to let you hear what's important.
Tyres equipped on electric vehicles wear out approximately 20% faster with uneven wear than on ICE vehicles. iON ST AS achieves uniform contact pressure by optimising contact structure through Round Even Technology. The iON ST AS delivers longer usage and less replacement.
Composed of advanced fillers and flexible rubber materials, ProDurable Compound delivers higher mileage without compromising snow performance.
Designed to absorb and reduce vertical impact shock when driving on road surfaces to provide a smooth, composed ride. Contact the ground gradually, which reduces the air pumping noise.
The lateral groove structure that bends and gets wider towards the shoulder cause the lateral groove to contact the ground gradually, which reduces the air pumping noise.

Happy with the purchase
Fuel consumption seems slightly better since the switch. Tyres themselves are great. Not the grippiest in hard cornering, but for normal driving they're more than adequate.

Better than expected
Does the job, nothing more. For daily commuting it's perfectly fine. Solid everyday tyre.

Reliable summer rubber
Good balance of comfort and handling. Would buy again. Very quiet on tarmac. Stable and precise in summer heat.

Better than expected
Very quiet on tarmac. The ION ST AS IH61 made my commute noticeably more relaxed. No squirm even on hot asphalt.
