Description
The Hankook iON evo AS SUV IH01A is an all-season tire specifically designed for electric SUVs, focusing on optimizing performance for EVs and offering a quiet, comfortable ride. It features technologies like i Sound Absorber and EVolution compound to reduce noise and tread wear, while enhancing grip and extending battery range.
Here’s a more detailed look at its key features:
Noise Reduction:
- i Sound Absorber Technology:This technology, applied inside the tire, reduces cavity noise, leading to a quieter ride.
- This technology further decreases cavity noise by up to 9dB, according to Hankook Tire.
- This feature widens the groove surface area to minimize tread pattern noise during road contact.
- The tire’s pitch sequence is optimized to reduce noise, contributing to a quieter ride.
Performance & Durability:
- EVolution Compound: This compound, composed of high-concentration silica and eco-friendly materials, is designed to spread road pressure evenly, potentially extending tread life and improving mileage.
- EVolution Technology: This technology bridges the gap between grip performance and noise/tread wear.
- High Rigidity Profile: Provides exceptional grip in dry, wet, and mild winter conditions.
- EV Contour Technology: Increases lateral rigidity by 25% and cornering rigidity by 20%.
- Optimized Ground Pressure Distribution: Helps to evenly distribute pressure, reducing uneven wear common in electric vehicles.
Other Features:
- Extended Range: Reduced rolling resistance contributes to extended battery life.
- Mud and Snow (M+S) Rated: Indicates suitability for light snow conditions.
- Designed for EVs: The tire’s design addresses the specific needs of electric vehicles, such as increased weight and torque.
