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.
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.

Wet Performance without missing Noise Reduction
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.
Round Even Technology
Composed of advanced fillers and flexible rubber materials, ProDurable Compound delivers higher mileage.
Expanding Lateral Grooves
By achieving grade A in the EU tyre labelling wet grip item for all available sizes, the iON evo delivers guaranteed wet performance without missing noise reduction to maximise driving pleasure.
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.
Fine-tuned Multi-Pitch Sequencing through Opti Pitch Technology
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 delivers the overall lifespan with uniform tread wear.
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.
To prevent groove resonance while driving, the iON evo has fine-tuned the size of grooves. Expanding the 2 grooves on the inside wider has also enhanced drainage performance.
Designed to bear the initial torque power of electric vehicle motors, the iON evo offers excellent handling and grip performance for premium electric vehicles.
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.
Fine-tuned Groove Size
ProDurable Compound
Tyre noise can be drastically reduced by applying Opti Pitch Technology. The iON evo has optimized the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.

I Hankook mi convincono alla guida della mia Audi A4. La risposta dello sterzo è pronta, l'auto sembra più reattiva. Guido principalmente su strade extraurbane.

Pareri misti dopo 7.000 km sulla mia Mercedes Classe A
Questo pneumatico è discreto, senza di più. Il comfort è ok, senza note di merito. Guido principalmente in autostrada. Sulla mia Mercedes Classe A, con uso misto in autostrada.

225/55 R18: delighted after 7 weeks
After 2,800 km I can honestly recommend these Hankook tyres. The steering response is sharp and the car feels more agile. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

Nach 500 km am Honda Civic: Durchschnitt
Der Reifen ist okay, mehr aber auch nicht. Bei zügiger Fahrweise ist das Limit schneller erreicht, als mir lieb ist. Gefahren an einem Honda Civic, hauptsächlich gelegentlich mit Anhänger.

Un pneu correct pour le prix. Sur revêtement grossier, on les entend légèrement, mais ils restent discrets. Une valeur sûre pour tous les jours. Ils sont sur ma Peugeot 508.

Kann nach 5.000 km nur Gutes berichten. In Kurven bleiben sie absolut berechenbar. Nach 6 Wochen und rund 5.000 km das Fazit.
