Low Noise
Hankook Sound Absorber™ is the pinnacle of noise cancelling technology. iON is equipped with this technology to enhance the experience of driving electric vehicles.
-
Treadwear
Hankook Tire's third-generation compound was developed with grip additives and increased silica content to drastically improve tire abrasion resistance for optimal grip and mileage.
-
Low Rolling Resistance
Low rolling resistance (LRR) performance has been significantly improved with the application of a tread compound with enhanced abrasion resistance, thinner tread design, and a third-generation hardness compound with higher silica content. In particular, Hankook Tire's Curing Balance Optimization technology for low rolling resistance (LRR) can control the hardening of the tire, providing a safe and comfortable driving experience on any driving surface.
-
Handling (Grip)
iON applies EV contour technology with increased lateral stiffness to provide a flexible and accurate handling performance in electric vehicles that are 20-30% heavier than vehicles with traditional internal combustion engines.
Combined with Formula E Technology
Formula E Technology and Hankook EVolution Technology.
Two innovative technologies have been combined to create a tire that has exceptional abrasion resistance, flexible yet accurate handling, and strong grip. Hankook Tire proudly produces the highest quality tires for Formula E.
