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.

Acceptable pour le prix, mais pas davantage. Sur le sec correct, sur le mouillé moyen. Le confort passe, sans points forts notables. On en a pour son argent. Je roule surtout sur petites routes avec.

175/65 R15 : bra val efter 1 400 km
Pengarna väl givna ut. Bromsning från 100 km/h är imponerande kort. På min Tesla Model 3 med blandad användning ibland med släp.

175/65 R15 : très bon choix après 2 200 km
Les Hankook ont su me convaincre au volant de ma VW Passat. Aucun aquaplaning sous la pluie battante, les réserves sont bonnes. Le freinage depuis 100 km/h est franchement court. Ils sont sur ma VW Passat. Se prend sans hésiter.

Sentiments mitigés après 9 000 km sur ma Opel Mokka
Ce pneu est correct, sans plus. Le confort passe, sans points forts notables. Au freinage sous la pluie, il manque le dernier cran. On en a pour son argent. Je roule surtout pour mes trajets domicile-travail avec.
