Tyre details: Are you looking for winter tyres that provide driving safety on every surface, whatever the weather? The Hankook Winter i*cept IZ2 W616 is the ideal solution for you.
The tyre features a directional tread that handles typical winter conditions very well. The wide V-shaped grooves effectively disperse water and slush, guaranteeing rapid drying of the tread. This prevents grip deterioration in extreme climatic conditions and ensures consistently high stability, even in adverse weather conditions.
The tyre has been designed for passenger vehicles and offers very good drivability both in urban settings and on longer journeys. The even distribution of forces acting on the tyre's surface also ensures that the tread wears slowly and uniformly from every side. This means that drivers can enjoy the vehicle's full range of performance features without worrying about a gradual deterioration in comfort over time.
The weight of the Hankook Winter i*cept IZ2 W616 has been reduced thanks to the use of an innovative rubber compound, leading to a reduction in rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption as a result. The compound is also noted for its flexibility, which guarantees driving safety when cornering and performing sudden manoeuvres in typical winter conditions.
The components used to manufacture the Hankook Winter i*cept IZ2 W616 give the tyre durability and resistance to mechanical damage. The engineers who designed the tyre also went to a great deal of effort to ensure driving comfort and the combination of a special tread pattern with high-quality components ensures that tyre noise is effectively muffled.
