Hankook Tire & Technology (hereafter Hankook Tire) will supply original equipment tires for the Juniper, the partially updated model of the Tesla Model Y.


On August 7, Hankook Tire announced that it will supply the electric vehicle-specific all-season tire "iON evo AS SUV" and the electric vehicle-specific ultra-high-performance tire "Ventus S1 evo3 ev" as original equipment tires for the Tesla Model Y Juniper.


The "iON evo AS SUV" supplied for the Tesla Model Y Juniper is an all-season tire exclusively for electric vehicles, featuring Hankook Tire's electric vehicle-specialized technology system, "iON Innovative Technology." It offers low noise, excellent energy efficiency and mileage, low rolling resistance, and outstanding driving performance.


The tire's noise-reducing pattern design significantly lowers the road noise generated during driving, providing superior quietness. The latest compound, which incorporates eco-friendly materials, delivers excellent grip in a variety of driving conditions, including dry roads, wet roads, and snowy surfaces.


The "Ventus S1 evo3 ev" stands out for its optimal design for high-powered electric vehicles, delivering strong driving stability. Its double carcass made from aramid hybrid fiber and high-rigidity bead stably respond to the high instantaneous output of high-powered and heavy vehicles, while also providing excellent handling performance at high speeds.


This supply deal is seen as elevating Hankook Tire's status as a key partner for Tesla. By supplying original equipment tires for Tesla's core models, including the Tesla Model Y and the electric sedan Model 3, Hankook Tire is being recognized for its innovative electric vehicle tire technology.
