“Very good” for the Hankook iON evo: The premium tyre developed specially for electric vehicles (EVs) was awarded the top mark in the latest tyre check performed by one of the leading German automobile trade publications, Auto Bild. The magazine’s experts compared three premium summer tyres with the dimensions 245/45 R 19 102 Y on a Tesla Model S and tested whether top performance and excellent safety properties were compatible with the requirement for the lowest possible roll resistance to benefit maximum range. Auto Bild’s positive conclusion was: “With the iON evo from the Hankook brand, designed especially for e-cars, we are not forced to choose between safety and driving pleasure on the one hand, and range and environment on the other. The balancing act between the wildly different requirements has been a convincing success.”
