Ensure incredible driving pleasure all year round with the Hankook iON FlexClimate SUV tyre. This innovative model has been developed specifically for more demanding electric cars. Functional, elegant, and, above all, quiet - it offers the unique joy of driving a low-emission vehicle while guaranteeing the best possible performance. Although primarily developed for BEVs, the tyre is also suitable for fitment on SUVs.
Safe driving in all conditions
Constructed to maintain the highest level of safety when driving, the iON FlexClimate SUV is a guarantee of fantastic performance in all seasons. It combines the best features of both summer and winter models. Excellent handling even when driving dynamically, as well as the vehicle's stability in corners, combined with the tyre's high performance culture provide the ultimate in comfort.
The herringbone pattern is designed to provide maximum grip in all conditions. The specially designed tread shape is responsible for full contact between the tyre and the road, whatever the weather. The wide grooves are designed to channel water or snow away from the wheel, providing good traction and significantly reducing the risk of slipping when driving in difficult conditions
Tailored to the needs of electricians
The increased weight of electric cars requires the tyre to be strong enough. Grip Boost is a technology that reinforces the sidewall so that it can easily withstand the increased weight of BEVs. It provides up to 20% more rigidity in corners, which significantly improves the stability of the car.
The developers of the Hankook iON FlexClimate SUV tyre have provided additional hybrid stiffening in the form of a special aramid fibre belt. It has the effect of improving the handling characteristics of the model but also helps to maintain the optimum shape of the tyres while driving.
Revolutionary rubber compound
The proprietary ProCoupling compound used in the tyre is a formulation developed with electrics in mind. The special silica-rich polymer bonding formula has the effect of increasing tyre durability, as well as significantly improving energy efficiency.
The compound used in the iON FlexClimate SUV also features an extended service life. Applied Opti Cure technology, which optimises the contact area between the tyre and the road. As you drive, the rubber layer rubs off evenly, extending the life of the tyres. Such good tread-to-ground contact further reduces rolling resistance, resulting in maximum performance per battery charge.
Satisfying silence
One of the biggest advantages of electric cars is the almost silent operation of the engine. Hankook SoundAbsorber is a technology that ensures extremely quiet tyre operation, even when moving at high speeds. The Quiet Flex soundproofing used, located inside the tyre, effectively minimises tyre noise. All so that the driver can fully enjoy the ultimate in travel comfort.
