Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Eco

Economy tyres are built around low rolling resistance — the engine spends less effort keeping the wheel turning, and that shows up at the pump. Hankook IK01A ION EVO SUV is one of them. The price is usually a harder compound: on a wet road you need to brake earlier and carry more margin into corners. In return they cover more kilometres than softer compounds. Leading manufacturers keep narrowing the wet-grip gap with new compounds, but a difference between an economy and a standard tyre is normally still there.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 · 255/45 R20 · 30 578 km
★★★★☆

The OEM tires for the Ioniq 5 are the Michelin Pilot Sport EV, which are good but overpriced. So, at half the price, the Hankook Ion Evo SUV is a great replacement for those Michelins, with a stiffer compound to mitigate the Ioniq 5's suspension softness. So, it's a win-win.

Replaced worn out Pirellis. These hankook are so much better. Quieter, smoother, better mpg, gripper definitely recommend

Tesla Model Y rwd · 255/45 R19 · 24 140 km
★★★★☆

I used this tyres on my Tesla model Y and have done 23,000 kms on it. It is very good in every aspect except the wear is only average. I think it will only last about 45,000 kms on this tyres. However, it is the best value money can buy in Australia. You can consider this tyres.
