Hankook iON evo AS

EV-Exclusive All-Season Tire | Low Noise • Long Wear • Extended Range

SUV / CUV Battery EV Plug-in Hybrid All-Season (M+S) Foam / Low Noise 80,000 km Warranty

The Hankook iON evo AS SUV is an EV-exclusive all-season tire engineered for today’s electric SUVs and crossovers. Designed to handle instant EV torque, heavier battery weight, and the demand for a quiet cabin, it delivers a refined driving experience with low noise, long tread life, and improved rolling resistance to help maximize driving range.

Thanks to Hankook’s iON Innovative Technology, the iON evo AS SUV helps bridge the typical trade-offs between grip, noise comfort, and tread wear—so you can enjoy all-season confidence without sacrificing efficiency.


Key Features & Benefits

  • EV-Exclusive Low-Noise Technology (Foam) – Helps absorb cavity noise and road vibration for a quieter cabin.
  • Extended Range (Low Rolling Resistance) – Optimized rolling resistance helps reduce energy loss and support longer EV range.
  • Even Tread Wear for Heavy EV Loads – Designed to maintain uniform contact pressure to reduce uneven wear common on EVs.
  • Exceptional Grip & Rigidity – Built to handle instant torque with stable cornering and confident all-season control.
  • All-Season Performance (M+S) – Dependable performance in dry, wet, and mild winter conditions.

EV Advantages (Why EV-Specific Tires Matter)

Electric vehicles can be up to 30% heavier than comparable ICE vehicles due to battery weight. That extra weight and instant torque can accelerate uneven wear on non-EV tires. The iON evo AS SUV is designed with a reinforced structure and optimized contact design to help deliver longer usage and less frequent replacement.

Highlights from internal comparative testing (brand provided):

  • Reduced interior resonance noise in the 170–220 Hz range (vs. non-EV all-season benchmark tire, size-dependent).
  • Rolling resistance improvements converted to estimated extra range (example scenario: up to +32 km on a 500 km EV, size-dependent).
  • Cornering stiffness improvements reported up to +20% in select internal testing (vehicle/size dependent).

Results vary by size, vehicle, road conditions, and driving habits. Use for product guidance only.


Technology Breakdown

Longer Life & Even Wear

  • Round Even Technology – Optimizes contact pressure to reduce uneven wear (common on EVs).
  • ProDurable Compound – Advanced fillers and flexible rubber materials designed for higher mileage.

Quieter Ride

  • Quiet Flex Technology (Foam) – Noise absorbing material inside helps reduce cavity noise (up to 9 dB claimed, size-dependent).
  • Noise Guard Technology – Groove design helps reduce tread pattern noise during road contact.
  • Opti Pitch Technology – Optimized pitch sequencing helps lower noise levels for a smoother drive.

Efficiency & Range

  • Opti Cure Technology – Helps improve rolling resistance performance across the tire for better efficiency.

Grip & Handling (Dry / Wet / Mild Winter)

  • Progrip Compound – Engineered for balanced traction and control across seasons.
  • Grip Boost Technology – Increased lateral rigidity to support EV stability (claims up to +25% lateral / +20% cornering rigidity vs. ICE touring, size-dependent).
  • Grip Claw Technology – 3D sipes help maintain tread shape for consistent grip in dry, wet, and light snow.

Warranty & Coverage

  • 80,000 km Mileage Warranty
  • 30-Day Free Trial

Axon had some challenges with supply availability and communication with updates. However, they were very responsive to my inquiries, Yoan really did a good job taking care of me under my circumstance. This is why I gave 4 stars instead of 3.

OLD STOCK WARNING! Received Pirelli tires manufactured in March 2023 when ordering in October 2026, with no clear disclosure beforehand that the tires could be several years old. When I raised my concerns, the company refused to offer any reasonable solution. Their proposed return policy requires the customer to pay return shipping plus a 15% restocking fee. Instead of addressing customer concerns, they focused on defending their personal views. If you order from Axon Distribution, ASK for the DOT dates before purchasing, or you can end up with old stock. Tire rubber can deteriorate over time, potentially affecting grip, traction, and overall safety on the road. You can see in the photo quality of the robber after 3.5 years, storage & handling... I’m just sharing my experience to warn buyers, do your own research and decide for yourself!

I have a very pleasant experience with Axon, first time to buy tires here, order and get my tires in 3 days! at best price on the market, delivery guy very polite, just one thing, work a bit in your website, not very easy to find my tires, thank you

Exellent pricing, fast delivery to your door within the quoted time, large size range of current stock. The website takes a little bit of getting used to as the navigation is a little tricky sometimes. Make sure that you have the size that you want before acknowledging your order.

J'ai commandé en ligne un ensemble hiver (4 jantes et 4 pneus) pour un Subaru Outback 2026.
Sur le site internet d'Axon, les jantes étaient compatibles avec mon véhicule.
Lors de la préparation de ma commande les employés se sont rendus compte que les jantes n'étaient pas compatibles !
BRAVO 👌
J'ai été immédiatement conseillé par courriel pour trouver un autre modèle de jantes.
Le délai de livraison a été un peu plus long mais ça valait le coût !!!

All seems good. Would have been good to have been able to discuss purchase with live person rather than messaging back & forth.

I ordered a complete set of winter tires, wheels and sensors for my Model Y from Axon. It was a flawless transaction with very well packaged mounted tires and wheels arriving ahead of schedule. The directional tires were mounted correctly with 2 for each side of the car. Sensors paired immediately and after a short drive found the correct wheel locations. And the best part was that I got the best price on the package deal with exceptional service. Thanks Axon.

Fantastic service, super fast shipping!
I ordered a set of wheels and missed that the centerbore was 66.5mm when I meant to get 66.6mm ones.
They contacted me and helped pick wheels with the correct centerbore. They also checked the fitment for my vehicle.
I will most certainly purchase from them again!

Prix exceptionnel. J’ai eu a communiquer avec eux avant la livraison, la réponse est venue tres rapidement dès l'ouverture du commerce. De plus, le tout a été livré par leur propre livreur auquel, j’ai pu parler au téléphone pour donner mes instructions de livraison.

Great prices and fast shipping to Ontario 👍

Ordered a set of BFG KO3s for my truck. Saved at least $500 versus my local tire shops. I appreciate distributors like Axon for providing this option and shipping to my door. Couldn't be more satisfied and highly recommend.

merci pour les nouveaux pneus d'hiver, hâte d'en faire l'essai !!! service ultra rapide pour la livraison à domicile. Je vous recommande fortement AXON.....Stef

Got a set of Continental ExtremeContact tires on these delicious red rims. The tires came installed and balanced on the rims and were well packaged. Best price I could find for the combo. Also got the black lug nuts set. Very happy. These turn heads.

It has been a roller coaster ride with these guys, from the delay because of sheer volume of orders which I understand. Too running out of the tires I ordered as they were discontinued, thankfully Yoan went above and beyond to fix the issues and supplied the closest equivalent. With delivery hopefully tomorrow, they should be here and on my vehicle before winter season sets in.

Price was good. Follow up terrible. Ordered the tires. The delivery company left them outside. Delivery company said they left them inside the garage even though they didn’t have the code or knock on the door. Axon lets the delivery company dictate the investigation. Axon’s customer service is slow and the result of leaving my 4 tires outside to be stolen was too bad so sad.
