Hankook iON evo AS SUV FEATURES AND BENEFITS All season performance Upgraded controllability Longer-lasting tread life Comfortable driving experience OVERVIEW The Hankook iON evo AS SUV is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Hankook offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. This tire is made for electric cars. The model offers excellent controllability during the performance. The asymmetric tread pattern closely follows the road surface at all times. It improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. On the other hand, wide shoulder blocks utilize siping details to increase cornering and maneuvering. These optimal elements also shorten the braking distance, by creating friction while stopping. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle and guarantees a safe driving experience. All season performance is provided with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern and the all season compound increase the tire’s dry, wet, and winter-weather traction. In this manner, the tread pattern manages to maintain contact with the driving surface even in light snow conditions. The all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in warm and cold temperatures as well. Circumferential grooves help the tire prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water and slush from the footprint in wet situations. The strengthened internal structure and the special wear-resistant compound upgrade the tire’s high speed performance. In other words, the strong structure maintains the optimal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting the tire. Additionally, the special silica compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area during the performance. These elements enable the tire to perform at its best high speed capability. The tire ensures a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The optimal tread pattern reduces road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin. The footprint channels airwaves away, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements and generating noise. On the other hand, the special silica compound absorbs the shock of driving, which minimizes vibrations felt by the passengers. These elements guarantee the passengers an enjoyable driving experience. The Hankook iON evo AS SUV extends its service life. The asymmetric tread pattern and the wear-resistant compound resist irregular and premature wear formations. This tread pattern can evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area, while the special compound slows the treadwear rate down. This reduced and even wear leads to a longer-lasting tread life. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
