Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 X W330A is a mid-range winter tyre designed to meet the needs of 4x4 vehicles. Large cars need excellent stability and grip on snow in winter, which is why the engineers from the South Korean company have introduced several innovative solutions.
The tread surface has an increased number of elements improving grip while driving, which gives excellent traction performance. On the other hand, special 3D lamellas reduce the braking distance of a vehicle on a snowy road by up to 7% compared to the previous model.
Winter tyres must also be able to cope perfectly on wet roads. The Winter i*cept evo3 X W330A uses additional water channels and wide shoulder grooves to remove water very effectively. As a result, braking on wet roads has been reduced by 10% and driving has become even safer.
Wide shoulder blocks allowed the tyre's rigidity to be improved. Combined with a rubber compound that can cope well with low temperatures, this gives combinations that provide very stable handling on dry roads.
The Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 X W330A is a winter model that is ideal for larger cars such as SUVs. It guarantees safe driving in cold, snowy winters as well as in rainy conditions.
Hankook is an Asian manufacturer of mid-range tyres, whose products are definitely approaching the premium segment with their performance. The high quality of these tyres is best demonstrated by the fact that brands such as Ford, Renault, Volkswagen and Toyota chose them as original equipment for their cars.
