Hankook Tire America Corp. has added to its electric vehicle (EV) tire line with the iON evo and iON evo SUV, a high-performance summer tire for electric vehicles.
The new iON evo tire was made with iON technology that focuses on “tread wear, noise reduction and a unique grip performance for EVs,” according to Hankook officials. The tire fits wheels coming in 18 – 22 inches in diameter and has speed ratings of H, V, W and Y. The iON evo comes in eight sizes as well as the iON evo SUV.
The new tire is tailored to bear the greater torque that EVs deliver compared to ICE vehicles. The iON evo has a 10% stiffer sidewall than normal and provides better wet grip due to the groove sizes in the tire that help with drainage performance.
