The tyre meets the European Union's requirements for winter tyres
Carries the 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Flake) symbol, which is awarded after the model in question has been thoroughly tested for snow grip.
The Hankook Winter i*cept IZ3 X W636A is a winter tyre designed specifically for SUVs. This model is perfect for extreme conditions, allowing you to remain confident behind the wheel. At the same time, it is distinguished by its above-average durability, so it will serve you excellently for a long time.
Indispensable in extreme conditions
This tyre has been designed to meet the expectations of the most demanding users. The model is packed with design features aimed at increasing grip when driving in winter conditions. These include:
- Distinctive tread pattern with diagonal slots to optimise grip when traversing icy sections.
- Wide shoulder blocks designed to optimise grip when driving in winter conditions.
- A state-of-the-art i*cept rubber compound whose components are responsible for improving grip on ice. This is due to the addition of purified resin and a flexible polymer chain.
As a result, the Winter i*cept IZ3 X W636A offers 9% better braking performance and 11% more efficient acceleration on ice than the predecessor model. This is thanks to the use of serrated 3D sipes and wide V-shaped grooves, which allow drivers to enjoy efficient water drainage.
In addition, compared to traditional tyre models, Hankook's proposal guarantees 19% better handling in dry conditions, so that you can feel confident behind the wheel regardless of the vagaries of winter weather.
Extended tread lifespan
Hankook's designers have also ensured that the tyre wears slowly and evenly. The wide shoulder block makes the area of contact between the tyres and the road larger. This allows better pressure distribution and extends the lifespan of the tyres. The brand's test results show that the Winter i*cept IZ3 X W636A offers up to 30% longer mileage than conventional models.
However, the i*cept profile technology is not the only design solution with a significant impact on the economy. The vulcanisation process itself has also been optimised, which has had a direct effect on reducing rolling resistance. Ultimately, the fuel efficiency of the tyres has been improved.
One of the most recognisable tyre brands in the world is Hankook. It is Korean manufacturer positioned in the middle class, whose tyres are distinguished by their high quality and modern technological solutions. This makes it very popular with drivers of cars and vans, including electric versions. The Hankook range includes proposals for seasonal and all-season.
