Hankook 1035004 iON Nordic i*ce SUV IW04A 255/45R19 104H XL Studdable Winter Tire

The Hankook iON Nordic i*ce SUV (IW04A) is a studdable winter tire engineered specifically for electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid SUVs demanding superior performance in harsh Nordic winter conditions. In size 255/45R19 104H XL, this EV-optimized tire carries the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) and M+S ratings, confirming its capability in serious snow and ice environments.

Key Features:

• Superior Ice Grip: AI-optimized stud placement maximizes the number of studs for up to 40% better ice performance compared to traditional tires designed for internal combustion engine vehicles
• Advanced Winter Siping: High-density, one-directional sipes on the center block enhance grip and braking performance on packed snow and icy surfaces
• Wide Cross Grooves: Wide transverse lateral grooves deliver superior snow traction and handling, ensuring safe travel through winter landscapes
• Stable Stud Technology: High stud retention technology minimizes changes in stud height after continuous driving, preserving long-term ice performance and reducing road wear
• Noise Proof Technology: AI-calculated stud pin array reduces stud noise, while a V-shaped shifting tread pattern spreads road noise by balancing contact between inner and outer tread blocks — 4dB quieter than market standard tires for combustion engine vehicles
• Opti Cure Technology: Lightweight construction combined with Hankook's Opti Cure technology distributes ground pressure evenly, reducing rolling resistance and promoting even tread wear — critical for EVs, which can experience up to 20% faster uneven wear than ICE vehicles
• EV Approved: Engineered to handle the unique weight and torque demands of electric and plug-in hybrid SUVs
• 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) & M+S Rated: Certified for severe snow service
