Through a long-term partnership with BMW, Hankook Tire developed EV-exclusive tires optimized for the new "i7." These products have met BMW's rigorous quality and performance standards, earning the official "Star" mark, an original tire certification granted only to select models. This demonstrates Hankook Tire's technological competitiveness, befitting a flagship premium electric sedan.

The three "Aion" models—Aion Evo AS, Aion Icept, and Aion Supreme—will be supplied in 20, 21, and 22-inch sizes, respectively. Developed based on Hankook Tire’s proprietary EV-focused "Aion Innovative Technology" system, these tires achieve a well-balanced synergy in key performance areas, such as energy efficiency, grip, mileage, low noise, and reduced rolling resistance, thus supporting optimal driving performance for electric sedans.

The all-season tire "Aion Evo AS" offers stable grip and precise handling across a variety of climates and road conditions. The winter tire "Aion Icept" provides outstanding grip and braking performance in winter driving environments, such as snow or wet roads. The ultra-high-performance "Aion Supreme" delivers excellent handling and high-speed stability on both dry and wet surfaces.
