Hankook Launches iON Tire, Designed for Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles

International. Hankook has unveiled its new iON tire, specifically designed to meet the needs of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs).

This tire promises superior, customized performance, optimized for the challenges faced by these state-of-the-art vehicles.

Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are typically heavier and require tires that can withstand higher loads, reduce noise, and improve durability. Hankook's iON tire responds to these requirements, incorporating advanced technologies to deliver a superior riding experience and improved performance.

In a recent performance test, iON tires showed clear advantages over standard tires used in PHEVs, including:

  • 20% longer tread life
  • 20% noise reduction
  • 9% improvement in driving stability
  • 6% increase in battery life

These results confirm that the iON is a strategic choice for PHEV drivers looking to maximize the efficiency and performance of their electric vehicles. With this innovative solution, Hankook reaffirms its commitment to sustainability and the future of electric mobility.
