What the Hankook ION EVO AS SUV (IH01A) is built for

The Hankook ION EVO AS SUV (IH01A) is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It carries an M+S (mud and snow) marking for light winter service. Fitment category: Passenger Car, SUV/CUV, Performance, UHP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 600 A A. The treadwear grade of 600 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $304.49 per tire, a full set of four costs $1217.96. That sits close to the average for the 8 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $22.14 per 1,000 miles across the set.
