Features and Benefits
- 77% ISCC PLUS-certified sustainable raw materials: The highest proportion of certified sustainable content of any production tyre available — independently verified by the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification system — setting a new industry benchmark for eco-responsible tyre manufacturing
- Bio-based silica and plant-based oils and resins in the tread compound: Sustainable alternatives to conventional petroleum-derived tyre components that match the performance, flexibility, and durability of traditional materials without compromise
- Recycled PET textile cord from plastic waste: The tyre’s textile reinforcement cord is sourced from recycled plastic waste, reducing landfill contribution and fossil fuel dependence throughout the tyre’s construction
- Circular carbon black from tyre pyrolysis oil and end-of-life tyre recovery: Recovered carbon black from recycled tyres replaces virgin carbon black in the compound — a genuine circular economy solution embedded directly into the tyre’s material composition
- EU label triple-A rating — rolling resistance, wet grip, and noise: Achieves top grade simultaneously across all three EU label categories, confirming the iON GT delivers class-leading range efficiency, safety in wet conditions, and cabin quietness — all without trade-offs
- ProGrip tread compound with high-density silica: Ensures strong grip on wet surfaces and confident dry handling, with the high-concentration silica formulation delivering optimal traction for the rapid acceleration and regenerative braking demands of compact EVs
- Grip Boost Technology for EV steering precision: Enhances steering response and handling precision — particularly important for compact EVs where instant torque delivery demands a tyre that responds quickly and accurately to driver inputs
- i Super Mileage Technology with Round Even design: Electric vehicles wear tyres up to 20% faster and unevenly — Round Even Technology optimises individual tread block stiffness and distributes contact pressure evenly across the footprint, significantly extending tread life and reducing irregular wear
- Opti Cure Technology for maximum low rolling resistance: An optimised curing process applied uniformly throughout the tyre achieves the highest possible LRR performance, directly extending driving range between charges
- i Sound Absorber Technology with engineered tread pattern noise reduction: Addresses the heightened sensitivity to cabin noise in near-silent EVs, combining internal acoustic foam with a purpose-designed tread pattern to deliver a peaceful, refined driving experience
- Red Dot Design Award winner 2024: Recognised for outstanding product design in the prestigious international Red Dot Design Award — one of the most coveted design accolades in the global manufacturing industry
