Hankook IH61/ION ST AS

IH61/ION ST AS
The Hankook iON ST AS iH61 is a premium all-season tyre purpose-built for electric vehicles. As New Zealand’s EV market continues to grow rapidly, the iON ST AS addresses the unique challenges that EVs place on tyres — from the added weight of heavy battery packs to instant torque delivery and the near-silent cabin that makes tyre noise far more noticeable. Engineered with a suite of EV-specific technologies, the iON ST AS delivers extended tread life, reduced rolling resistance for improved range, exceptional all-season grip, and a noticeably quieter ride. If you drive an EV and you want a tyre that’s been genuinely designed for it — not simply repurposed from a conventional passenger range — this is it.

Features and Benefits

  • ProDurable Compound with advanced fillers and flexible rubber materials: Specifically formulated for the increased weight and instant torque of electric vehicles, extending tread life and delivering higher mileage without compromising all-season grip or snow performance
  • Round Even Technology with optimised contact structure: EVs can cause tyres to wear up to 20% faster and unevenly due to battery weight and torque characteristics — Round Even Technology distributes contact pressure uniformly across the footprint, significantly reducing uneven wear and extending the life of the tyre
  • Opti Cure Technology applied uniformly across the tyre structure: Achieves the highest grade of low rolling resistance (LRR) performance by optimising the cure process throughout the entire tyre — directly contributing to improved driving range, one of the most critical considerations for EV owners
  • i Sound Absorber Technology with noise-optimised tread design: Electric motors are near-silent, making road noise from tyres far more audible inside the cabin — i Sound Absorber Technology reduces tyre noise by 1dB across all speed ranges, delivering a noticeably quieter and more refined driving experience
  • Lateral groove structure with widening shoulder design: Gradually contacts the ground as the tyre rolls to reduce air pumping noise at the source, complementing the Sound Absorber system for a comprehensively quieter ride
  • Block Edge Chamfer design: Minimises the impact between tread blocks and the road surface to further reduce noise and improve overall ride comfort
  • Opti Pitch Technology with vibration control: Optimises tread block sequencing and manages vibration to deliver a more comfortable, composed ride on both urban roads and motorways
  • All-season capability including light snow performance: Provides confident grip in dry, wet, and light winter conditions, making it a genuinely versatile year-round tyre choice for New Zealand’s varied climate

In order for us to give you an accurate quote it is handy to have your tyre size to hand. The easiest way to find this is to look on the sidewall of your existing tyre, where you will see a combination of numbers and letters.

Width: (this is the first set of numbers) and represents the width of the tyre sidewall in Millimetres.

Profile: This is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width of the tyre

Rim: This is the diameter of the inner rim in inches

When looking for your tyre size note down the size of both the front and rear tyres as many cars have been developed with two different sizes.
