Hankook iON evo SUV Sound Absorber tyre

Understand this tyre

What the size on the sidewall means225/45 R18
225 · Width
The tyre is 225 mm wide, measured sidewall to sidewall.
45 · Profile
Sidewall height is 45% of the width — a low profile, giving sharper steering response.
R18 · Rim
Fits an 18-inch wheel. Must match your rim diameter exactly.

This Hankook is purpose-built for electric SUVs, using iON technology to address EV-specific demands like wear and efficiency. Noise-absorbing tech keeps the cabin quiet, which matters when your motor is nearly silent. A durable compound aims for extended mileage, while the aramid belt and shoulder blocks deliver wet-weather traction. Currently available in 225/45R18.

A good fit if you…
  • Drive an electric SUV and want EV-optimised efficiency
  • Value a quiet cabin — the sound absorber targets road noise
  • Cover long distances and want extended tread mileage
Look elsewhere if you…
  • Want an explicitly all-season or winter-rated tyre — the material doesn't claim this

    These guys are almost as fast and professional as a Formula One Pit Crew, with great prices to match. Big ups for transparently displaying your prices on your website, and for your focus on getting unstocked tyres in by midday next day. Called them at 3pm, had new tyres by 1pm today. Amazing service.
