Hankook iON FlexClimate is a multi-season tyre specifically designed for electric cars. In the iON series, the designers have taken into account all the elements specific to the way such vehicles move. To create tyres with exceptional performance, they took into account the unique characteristics of these cars, including their weight, quiet running, and high torque. This will ensure that the ride is not only safe but also comfortable. Regardless of the road conditions, this model will make getting around town and travelling outside urban areas a real pleasure.
Modern ProCoupling blend
The iON FlexClimate model was developed from an advanced, polymeric ProCoupling blend characterised by optimised silica content. Combined with Opti Cure technology, which consists of the correct vulcanisation of the individual tyre components, this ensures low rolling resistance. This will allow the electric car to travel a longer distance on a single charge.
Design adapted to electric cars
The tyre holds its shape even when driving fast. This is all thanks to Grip Boost technology, which is the reinforcement of the structure with an aramid fibre belt. This ensures the correct stiffness on bends, which translates into smooth cornering. The driver can therefore count on confident, precise handling
Excellent grip and long tread life
The symmetrical directional tread with groove system makes the tyre excellent at draining water, providing optimum wet grip. On the other hand, the appropriately spaced, zigzagging sipes guarantee proper traction on snow. The manufacturer has also taken care of the durability of the tread, which is subjected to a lot of wear and tear. With a uniform contact surface and Round Even technology to improve the product structure, the iON FlexClimate model stands out for its high durability.
Low noise levels
The low noise level, which plays a major role, especially in electric cars, is also not insignificant. The manufacturer has significantly reduced the loudness of the tyre by using Quiet Flex technology. It is based on a special insert that absorbs the air vibrations responsible for creating the annoying sound. Appropriate solutions were also used in the tread area. Increased stiffness along the central groove, combined with the zigzag shape of the pads, has helped to further reduce noise.
