Hankook ION ST AS IH61 225/50 R17 98V
Technical specifications
Description
Maximise your EV's range with iON
Double the Advantage
- Thanks to iON innovative technology, the iON ST AS has pushed the limits to bridge the gaps between grip performance and noise / tread wear.
Extended Tread Life
ProDurable Compound
- Composed of advanced fillers and flexible rubber materials, ProDurable Compound provides higher mileage without compromising snow performance.
Even Tread Wear
Round Even Technology
- Tyres equipped on electric vehicles wear out approximately 20% faster with uneven wear than on ICE vehicles. iON ST AS achieves uniform contact pressure by optimising contact structure through Round Even Technology. The iON ST AS provides longer usage and less replacement.
Further Reduced Rolling Resistance
Opti Cure Technology
- The iON ST AS achieved the highest grade of LRR performance by applying Opti Cure Technology which improves all parts of the tyre equally.
Drive in Peace
i Sound Absorber Technology
- Electric motors are almost soundless which results in the driver hearing more noise from the tyres. With i Sound Absorber Technology, the iON ST AS offers a quiet and pleasant ride in all speed ranges.
Reducing Noise by Pattern Technology 1db
- It offers improved noise performance by 1dB.
Pattern Noise Test result
- The iON ST AS offers a quiet & pleasant ride in all speed ranges.
Minimised Shoulder Lateral Groove
- The lateral groove structure that bends and gets wider towards the shoulder cause the lateral groove to contact the ground gradually, which reduces the air pumping noise.
Optimised Block Angle Simulation
- The block angle was designed to improve noise performance by maintaining rigidity through HK noise simulation and rigidity analysis.
Block Edge Chamfer
- Block Edge Chamfer is applied to minimise the impact with the road surface to improve noise performance.
Smoother Ride Comfort
Optimised Multi-Pitch Sequencing through Opti Pitch Technology
- Tyre noise can be drastically reduced by applying Opti Pitch Technology. The iON ST AS has optimised the number and size of pitches to let you hear what's important.
Vibration Control Technology
- Designed to absorb and reduce vertical impact shock when driving on road surfaces to provide a smooth, composed ride. Contact the ground gradually, which reduces the air pumping noise.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more
