Hankook iON GT SUV (IK41A) ( 235/50 R18 101V XL 4PR EV, SBL )

More range, Less impact, EV perfected. Triple the Advantage Thanks to Hankook‘s iON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, the iON GT SUV has pushed the limits to bridge the gaps between grip performance, noise, and tread wear. Maximised Sustainability Sustainable Materials for Tyres Even Tread Wear Round Even Tyres equipped on electric vehicles wear out approximately 20% faster with uneven wear than on ICE vehicles. The iON GT SUV achieves uniform contact pressure by optimising contact structure through Round Even Technology. The iON GT SUV provides longer usage and less frequent replacement. Extended Tread Life Opti Tread Abnormal wear prevented by optimising individual pattern block stiffness. New Profile for Wear New profile is applied for wear by increasing contact width. New pattern is applied with optimised contact ratio. Further Reduced Rolling Resistance Opti Cure Technology The iON GT SUV achieved the highest grade of LRR performance by applying Opti Cure Technology which improves all parts of the tyre equally. Power Reserve Optimised tyre gauge with advanced structure . Noise Guard (Cornhusk patent technology) Realising tyre noise reduction through patterns, structure and tests. The corn husk surface structure with superior acoustic performance applied to the grooves to disperse noise. Minimised Tread Pattern Noise Opti Pitch Technology Tyre noise can be drastically reduced by optimising the pitch sequence. The iON GT SUV has optimised the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters. ProGrip Compound Achieved higher wet surface grip by combining high-density silica with innovative eco-friendly materials. Enhanced Cornering Stability Grip Boost Technology It is essential to improve tyre stiffness to bear the weight of electric vehicles. Grip Boost Technology increases cornering stiffness by 10% to improve the electric vehicle’s handling performance. Improved Steering at High Speeds Aramid Hybrid Reinforcement Belt A reinforcement belt mixed with the most advanced fibre, Aramid, is applied on the iON GT SUV to improve steering performance and maintain an optimised shape during highspeed driving.
