The iON evo AS SUV is Hankook's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire engineered for the drivers of electric vehicles (EVs) in their larger form-factors such as pickup trucks, crossovers and sport utility vehicles. Designed to provide a comfortable, quiet driving experience alongside reliable traction in all weather conditions, even light snow.
Featuring Hankook's ProDurable tread compound optimized and developed especially for the heavier weight of EVs, the iON evo AS SUV creates uniform pressure distribution for even contact with the road’s surface. The naturally quiet operation of EV motors requires a dedication to noise management at every step. Rigorous adjustment of the tread pattern's pitch count and variation in conjunction with knurling patterns carved into the grooves to minimize sound are all ultimately assisted by a sound-deadening layer of foam for a low-volume experience. 3D GripKontrol sipes have been strategically applied to aid the four longitudinal grooves in resisting hydroplaning in the wet, and, if weather demands, offer additional biting edges for reliable snow traction.
The iON evo AS SUV's internal construction features a polyester body ply with a high turn-up for enhanced sidewall stiffness and durability to handle the additional vehicle weight of EVs and SUVs. Twin steel belts provide a stable base for the tread. The dual-ply polyamide reinforcement layer ensures predictable handling and high-speed performance.
The Crossover, or CUV, is hands-down the most popular vehicle in America. Last year in our CUV test, we used the Alfa Romeo Stelvio to test all-season and all-weather touring tires. This year, the field expanded to include all-terrain and performance truck products, representing the full range of tires drivers are installing on these vehicles. Obviously, with a test this diverse, it’s not so much about which one tire rises to the top, but rather how each category brings its own strengths to the table. When comparing multiple tires from one category, it's how they stack up against each other. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy Test 8!
