Hankook IH61 iON ST AS

All-season tire Hankook IH61 iON ST AS from a well-known Korean manufacturer, designed specifically for operation on modern electric vehicles. The model uses a large number of advanced technologies that optimize its working characteristics and set it apart from its analogs.

The basis for creating an asymmetric non-directional tread is the ProDurable compound. Its composition includes both natural rubber and special polymeric compounds that increase the strength of the rubber. Therefore, the tire is able to work for a long time under significant loads, which do not affect the reduction of its service life.
Given that electric transport is heavier compared to one with an internal combustion engine, the manufacturer has equipped the tire with Round Even technology. It allows for a more even distribution of pressure in the contact area, reducing the load per unit area. On the one hand, this reduced wear, and on the other hand, it increased the efficiency of traction, improving traction properties and minimizing the likelihood of skidding.

Opti Cure is another technology aimed at optimizing the rolling resistance level. Thanks to it, the electric vehicle spends less energy, which increases its range.

Another important aspect is the i Sound Absorber - a special scheme for placing block structures, in which no vortex air flows are formed, and an increased level of acoustic comfort is ensured. Moreover, this applies to various speed modes.

Against the background of all its properties, the model also demonstrates confident handling at high speeds, which was achieved due to the developed ribbed structure of the central part. Supplemented by unidirectional grooves, such elements contribute to a quick response to steering wheel turns, making the vehicle's behavior maximally predictable and safe.

Key features of Hankook IH61 iON ST AS:
- installation on a wide range of electric vehicles from various manufacturers;
- Round Even technology - optimizes the contact patch, ensuring even distribution of load on it;
- i Sound Absorber - reduces noise, guaranteeing increased acoustic comfort even at high speeds;
- Opti Cure - minimizes air resistance and increases the range of the vehicle on a single charge
