Hankook iON Nordic IW41 ( 255/40 R19 100H XL 4PR EV, Nordic Compound, SoundAbsorber, with rim protection (MFS) SBL )

Superior winter performance, quieter EV driving Exceptional handling on all winter roads Various types of sipes The stability of the tread pattern is enhanced by applying wave-shaped 3D sipes in the center and overlapping band-type sipes in the surrounding blocks. This gives iON Nordic outstanding handling on all types of winter road surfaces. Excellent snow performance Optimized V-shaped tread blocks The V-shaped blocks improve ground contact and distribute pressure evenly, enhancing snow traction and braking performance. Better grip in winter conditions ProGrip compound The advanced ProGrip rubber compound technology with a new silica blend balances flexibility and stability in cold temperatures. This maximizes grip on ice, snow, and wet surfaces. Outstanding resistance to hydroplaning Optimized groove angles Optimized groove angles improve water drainage and thereby enhance wet performance. Reduced tire noise Beveled block-edge technology By diagonally reducing the contact area so that the contact surface expands gradually, noise during sudden stops or direction changes is reduced. Quiet and comfortable driving Quiet Flex An internal sound absorber effectively reduces road-surface noise. With Quiet Flex technology, vibration-related tire noise is minimized, resulting in quieter and more comfortable driving. Minimal pattern noise V-shaped alternating pattern Thanks to the V-shaped pattern of the iON Nordic (and SUV), road noise is dispersed as the inner and outer blocks alternate upon road contact, which also improves snow traction.
