 At the Formula E race in Miami, the Formula E EV tire plays a bigger role than most fans realize. Beneath the car, Hankook’s iON Race tire must handle extreme EV torque, heavy vehicle weight and changing track conditions – all with a single tire design.

Unlike many racing series, Formula E teams don’t switch between slicks and rain tires. Engineers must design one tire that performs in both wet and dry conditions while maintaining durability and efficiency under the unique loads created by electric race cars.

Inside the tire, the technology goes far beyond a typical TPMS sensor. Each iON Race tire includes a specialized monitoring system capable of measuring temperature in up to 15 positions inside the tire, giving teams and FIA officials real-time insight into tire performance and pressure compliance during the race.

For Hankook engineers, Formula E serves as a proving ground for future EV tires. Data gathered on the track helps the company refine designs that can handle the instant torque, heavier weight and efficiency demands of modern electric vehicles.
