Hankook iON i*cept (IW01A) 245/50 R20 105V XL - The Ultimate Winter Tire for EVs and SUVs
Designed for Exceptional Winter Performance
Experience the dual advantage of the Hankook iON Winter SUV tire, crafted to push the boundaries of winter performance. Specifically engineered for electric vehicles, this tire also combines the best of both worlds for superior driving experiences.
Enhanced Cornering Stability with EV Contour Technology
To support the weight of electric vehicles, enhanced tire rigidity is essential. Hankook's EV Contour Technology increases cornering stiffness by 7%, optimizing the handling capabilities of your electric vehicle for a more stable and responsive drive.
Improved Snow Traction with Optimized Sipe Angles
The iON Winter SUV features precisely optimized sipe angles, which significantly enhance braking and traction on snowy roads, ensuring your safety during winter conditions.
Superior Handling on Winter Roads with Diversified Sipes
The tread stiffness is optimized through 2D sipes in the center and 3D sipes in the surrounding blocks, providing exceptional handling across all winter road conditions.
Enhanced Snow Performance and Reduced Rolling Resistance with EVolution Compound
The EVolution compound, made from high-concentration silica and eco-friendly materials, delivers excellent mileage and further reduces rolling resistance without compromising snow performance.
Improved Wet Grip with Water Pipe Grooves
Water Pipe grooves in the shoulder blocks efficiently channel water away from the main tread, maximizing grip on wet roads and ensuring a safer drive in rainy conditions.

And there you have it, folks! With the Hankook iON i*cept, you’re not just ready for winter; you’re all set to conquer it. Bring on the cold!
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
