The iON evo AS is Hankook's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of electric vehicles (EVs), sedans, and coupes looking for an adaptable mix of dry and wet traction with confident wintry weather traction for four season performance.
Utilizing a tread compound specifically developed for use with the heavy weight of EVs, the iON evo AS takes advantage of an optimized curing process and pressure distribution for more even contact with the road. 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 aided 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's internal construction features a polyester body ply with a high turn-up for enhanced sidewall stiffness and durability that can handle additional vehicle weight in lateral maneuvers for smooth control. Twin steel belts ensure a stable base for the tread package joined with a polyamide reinforcement for predictable handling and high-speed performance.
El neumático iON evo AS de Hankook pertenece a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado para conductores de vehículos eléctricos (EV, por sus siglas en inglés), sedanes y autos cupé, que buscan una combinación adaptable entre tracción seca y mojada, con tracción confiable en climas invernales, para manejar confiadamente durante las cuatro estaciones del año.
Utilizando un compuesto de caucho en la huella especialmente desarrollado para el uso en autos eléctricos, más pesados que los de motores de combustión interna, el iON evo AS aprovecha un proceso de curación optimizado y distribución de la presión, para obtener mayor contacto con la carretera. La naturaleza de operación silenciosa de los motores de autos eléctricos requiere dedicación para manejar los ruidos en cada paso. Ajustes rigurosos del patrón de la huella en relación con la secuencia y variación de los tonos de los bloques, junto a un diseño especial tallado en las ranuras, minimizan el ruido, todo esto finalmente mejorado con una capa de espuma para obtener una conducción silenciosa y tranquila. Ranuras tridimensionales "3D GripKontrol" han sido ubicadas estratégicamente para ayudar a los canales longitudinales a resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), y si el tiempo lo demanda ofrecen más bordes adherentes para una tracción más confiable sobre superficies con nieve.
La construcción interna del iON evo AS posee una estructura con capas de poliéster que ayudan a la rigidez de los flancos y aumentan la durabilidad al manejar el peso adicional del vehículo en maniobras laterales, resultando en un control parejo. Correas gemelas de acero proporcionan una base estable para el conjunto de la huella que se une con un refuerzo de poliamida, para ofrecer una maniobrabilidad predecible y buen rendimiento a velocidades elevadas.

...These tires have excellent dry and wet grip...
I have had 2 sets of Michelin tires on this car, first set were great. Second set were disappointing in wet weather, even when new. These tires have excellent dry and wet grip. In addition, they have a very quiet ride, which was a nice surprise. I have only put about 1000 miles on them, but so far I am very pleased.

pleasantly surprised. Great tires for daily. Do well in temps close to freezing as well as in heat. No issues in the wet. Even, steady wear. No issues with balance. Relatively quiet tire. Will buy again if they last.

Great tire for the price. Was going to put snow tires on like I do every year then a surprise snow storm happened and had to get to work. Was nervous about the drive with the tires but they did great. I ran these tires all winter and never had an issue even on untouched country roads or a terribly maintained highway. Definitely recommend.

...I would get these again for a sedan as they had pretty good traction even in the snow...
These tires are pretty good for traction, on both my sedan or minivan They were very smooth on a sedan, a bit of road noise. On a minivan, the tires gave a more rough ride with a lot of road noise. even with fresh balancing and alignments, the vehicle has a constant vibration from these tires, not a smooth/comfortable ride. I would get these again for a sedan as they had pretty good traction even in the snow, but not for the minivan.

An EXCELLENT TIRE! Great value and performance. Have had these before and they wear EXCELLENT!!
Vehicle: 2012 Toyota Yaris 5-Door LE Miles Driven on Tires: 1,000 Driving Conditions: Mostly Highway Location: CHESTERTOWN, MD Driving Style: Average
Traction isn't the best, but breakaway is very predictable and it slips more under acceleration than braking. It doesn't have the sharpest feel, but it more than makes up for that with comfort. I'm interested in a set for my NA Miata, it's a very likeable tire, and if you get them on special it's very affordable. Treadwear is exceptional for a Sumi/Falken.
