Product description & features
The Hankook iON Evo (IK01) is a summer road tyre developed for modern electric cars and plug-in hybrids, where instant torque, higher kerb weight and cabin quietness put extra demands on tyres. It’s designed for confident everyday driving in milder to warm conditions, delivering a composed feel at motorway speeds while keeping energy losses low to support EV efficiency.
Across the tread, wide circumferential grooves and carefully shaped lateral channels help clear surface water quickly, improving wet-weather stability and reducing the risk of aquaplaning. The tread blocks are arranged to maintain a consistent contact patch, so braking and cornering feel progressive rather than abrupt. Subtle siping adds extra biting edges in the wet without making the tread overly flexible.
The iON Evo uses an EV-focused casing and compound aimed at handling high loads and managing heat, which helps these tyres wear evenly over time. A stiffer structure supports precise steering and stability during acceleration, while noise-reducing design elements help cut road roar—particularly noticeable in quieter electric cabins. Lower rolling resistance can also contribute to reduced energy use over longer journeys.
iON Evo tyres are available in a wide spread of 18–22 inch sizes, with an SUV-focused variant offered for heavier electric SUVs. You can buy online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, choosing fitting at a nearby garage of your choice or delivery to suit your setup.
