WORLD’S FIRST EV-ONLY TYRE ROLLS INTO JAX

Hankook’s iON, exclusively developed for high-performance EVs, is available now across all JAX stores nationwide

JAX Tyres and Auto’s support for electric vehicles is set for another power up, with the arrival of Hankook’s iON.

JAX Tyres and Auto explains that the iON is “the world’s first EV-only tyre, developed exclusively for a new generation of vehicles and available now across the JAX network.”

Unlike vehicles with internal combustion engines, EVs require lower noise, higher load support, response to a higher torque, and lower rolling resistance.

JAX Tyres and Auto says iON perfectly responds to the characteristics of electric vehicles with innovative EV technology and provides optimal driving performance.

From May, Hankook’s iON are available for purchase and fitting at all JAX Tyres and Auto stores nationwide, and online, starting from $365 per tyre.

The full line-up includes iON evo, “evolutionised to perform more,” and iON evo AS SUV, “evolutionised to perform and last.”

With the recent launch of the Australian

Government’s National Electric Vehicle Strategy promising to increase the supply of affordable and accessible EVs, JAX Tyres and Auto explains its Future Fit program is already well underway, preparing for a new era of electric vehicle ownership.

EV stations already in place at Gilles Plains, Woolloongabba, Kwinana, Edwardstown, Clyde North, Bowen Hills and Warrawong will soon be joined by new installations across New South Wales and Victoria, helping to ensure that EV owners can find power on tap with JAX.

“The iON is a world leader when it comes to the ingenuity and innovation that is being poured into a new era of vehicles and the expectations of their owners, and we’re delighted to be making the full line-up available to JAX customers across the country,” JAX Tyres and Auto Chief Executive Officer, Steve Grossrieder, said.

“The iON has been carefully engineered to bring out the best in high-quality electric vehicles, maximising driving performance while reducing noise, meaning that EV drivers will be able to get the best possible driving experience from their vehicles without any trade-offs,” Hankook Tyre Australia Managing Director, Junghee Cho, said of the iON.
