Hankook Ventus ION A vs ION EVO (A/S versions)

[69KWH]

Are these the same tire, just rebranded?

I found these Hankook "EV specialty tires" under the label "Ventus ION A" for less than half the price of the ION EVOs. The tread patterns on both sets of tires and the specs are identical.

From what I understand, they were just rebranded. I’m thinking about buying them too. Did you buy them?

Not yet, I’ll probably reconsider once I run my MXM4s down to 2/32” tread. Currently at 4/32”.
