Hankook iON evo IK01 245/45 R18 100 W XL, MFS, ZR, Sound Absorber

Hankook Ventus iON S (IK01) is a mid-range summer tyre fully suited to electric cars. The Korean designers have equipped it with a modern asymmetrical tread, distinguished by:

• Extended shoulder pads with optimised stiffness that prevent slippage caused by high torque in electric cars.

• A hybrid belt interlaced with aramid fibers allows the tyre to maintain its optimum shape when travelling at high speeds.

• Expanding towards the shoulder zones, the transverse channels optimise water flow through the tread and also reduce noise when driving on wet surfaces.

• Wide circumferential grooves increase fluid and mud drainage efficiency, reducing the risk of uncontrolled sliding.

Rolling resistance, the impact on range, and the noise generated is also crucial for electric car tyres. The IKO1 model therefore relies on:

• EVolution rubber compound with a high content of silica, contributes to higher mileage and lower rolling resistance.

• Optimised ground pressure distribution so that the tread does not unduly affect the range of the electric vehicle and wears more slowly and steadily.

Hankook is a South Korean brand classified in the mid-price segment. The company's products are distinguished not only by their quality workmanship but also by the use of proprietary solutions to enhance driving safety and performance.
