FAQs

Is the HANKOOK iON GT SUV suitable for non-electric vehicles?

While the tyre is designed with EV characteristics like low rolling resistance and quiet operation, it can be fitted to non-electric vehicles that match the size (215/55 R17 98V) and load requirements. However, its optimal performance benefits are realized on electric vehicles.

How does low rolling resistance benefit my electric vehicle?

Low rolling resistance means the tyre requires less energy to roll. For an electric vehicle, this translates directly into increased driving range on a single charge and improved overall energy efficiency.

What does the 'A' labelling mean on this tyre?

The 'A' labelling refers to the highest possible rating within the EU tire label system for specific performance criteria such as rolling resistance, wet grip, and external rolling noise. An 'A' rating indicates top-tier performance in these categories.

How often should I check my tire pressure?

It is recommended to check your tire pressure at least once a month and before any long journeys. Always inflate them to the pressure recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer.

What is the expected tread life of the HANKOOK iON GT SUV?

Tread life depends on various factors including driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance. However, the iON GT is engineered for durability and balanced wear, aiming to provide a long service life for EV applications.

Where can I find the correct tire pressure for my vehicle?

The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle can typically be found on a sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb, in the glove compartment, or in your vehicle's owner's manual.

Troubleshooting

Reduced tire life or uneven wear

Check tire pressure regularly and ensure it is set to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation. Have wheel alignment and balancing checked by a professional.

Increased road noise

While designed for low noise, unusual noise could indicate an installation issue, or foreign object. Inspect the tyre for damage or embedded objects. Ensure correct tire pressure.

Poor wet grip performance

Ensure tire pressure is correct. Check tread depth; worn tyres will have reduced grip. Verify that the tyres are installed correctly and are not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Enhanced battery range for EVs due to low rolling resistance.
Superior wet grip for increased safety and control.
Quieter driving experience with reduced road noise.
Designed with sustainability in mind.
Balanced performance across grip, noise, and wear.

Cons

May be overly optimized for EVs, potentially impacting performance on non-electric vehicles.
Specific 'A' rating performance might vary slightly based on individual vehicle and driving conditions.
As a premium EV tire, it may come at a higher price point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HANKOOK iON GT SUV tyre is designed for direct replacement on compatible electric SUVs. Ensure professional installation by a qualified tire technician to guarantee proper mounting, balancing, and alignment. The tyre size is 215/55 R17 98V.

Compatibility: This tyre is specifically engineered for electric vehicles, particularly SUVs. It is an original equipment partner for manufacturers like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen. Always verify that the tyre size (215/55 R17) and load/speed rating (98V) match your vehicle's specifications.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

Regular Inspection: Check tyre pressure monthly and before long trips. Maintain the recommended pressure specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
Rotation: Rotate tyres at recommended intervals (typically every 5,000-8,000 miles) to ensure even wear.
Alignment & Balancing: Have your wheel alignment and balancing checked regularly, especially if you notice uneven wear or vibration.
Cleaning: Clean the tyres periodically with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
