Summer tyre Hankook iON ST AS is a great option for drivers with electric cars. The iON series has been developed specifically for use in such vehicles, taking into account their specific characteristics. Thanks to modern solutions and a well-thought-out design, it will not only ensure long mileage and high durability but also low noise levels. These features make the model ideal for both everyday city driving and long-distance travel.
ProDurable blend
The tyre is made from a ProDurable compound distinguished by its optimised composition. Special fillers and the right kind of rubber make this model very durable. The slow abrasion allows for long mileage and the correct rubber stiffness improves the driving experience.
Durable tread with well thought-out design
The tread also stands out for its high durability. All due to Round Even technology, which optimises the contact between the tyre and the road. This translates into slower abrasion even in massive electric cars. The contouring, which guarantees a great dry and wet grip, is also of significance. The four wide grooves in the central zone efficiently transport water to the side channels so that it is quickly drained away, reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
Low rolling resistance thanks to Opti Cure technology
The product design has been optimised with Opti Cure technology. With the proper vulcanisation of each tyre component, the iON ST AS guarantees low rolling resistance. This is particularly important in electric vehicles as it translates into further driving range.
Quiet performance
The designers have paid a great deal of attention to solutions aimed at reducing noise as much as possible. The minimisation of the lateral shoulder grooves, as well as the chamfered edges of the blocks and the optimisation of their angles, have made it possible to significantly reduce the noise of the tyres. Also playing a major role in this field is Opti Pitch technology which absorbs and reduces shock and thus reduces noise on contact with the ground.
