Hankook I*cept Evo W310 is a mid-priced tyre which is suitable for high-end vehicles and sport-sedan cars for driving in the winter months. As it’s a mid-priced tyre, the tyre’s specification has been maximized for the price. It offers a well-balanced performance on wet, snowy or muddy roads and gives extra precision to the driving feel.
Hankook I*cept Evo W310 can easily adapt to snow or ice, due to auxiliary internal sipes. This tyre design guarantees a stronger, firmer grip and allows the tyre to grip more accurately and cornering is enhanced.
An inside-to-outside groove system allows the Hankook I*cept Evo W310 to optimize the sound of the tyre. This process allows for the tyre to be as quiet as possible. Consequently, this helps in the reduction of driver fatigue on long journeys. Additionally, three longitudinal grooves help flush out excess slush or ice and improve safety on winter roads.
The tyre design of the Hankook I*cept Evo W310 resembles a polar bear’s claw. This innovative design allows the tyre to dominate its wintery surroundings, just like a polar bear would in its natural environment. The tyre pattern is asymmetric, and the inner-tread helps with close road contact and the outer-tread helps removes excess water through large grooves.
