In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (Hankook) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (Falken). Generally, Hankook summer tyres are slightly better rated (77%) than Falken (70%). But when it comes to comparing Hankook ION Evo and Falken e.Ziex, the rating is the same - 90%. The first tyre test of Hankook ION Evo was done in 2025, compared to 2023 when was the Falken e.Ziex first tested. Important for this comparison is also the Autobild 2025 215/55 R18 test, where both the ION Evo and the e.Ziex were tested. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the ION Evo is made in Hungary and e.Ziex is made in Turkey.
