When driving during the winter months, it is important to use safe and reliable tires that deliver a strong grip on a variety of surfaces, including snow and ice. Hankook offers two line-ups of winter tires.

• Numerous studs for increased traction on ice
• 3D sipes
• A wide central block
• Snow Claw grooves
• The innovative ice-Philic technology

The second is the Winter i*cept line-up, which offers very versatile tires. These Hankook winter tires are excellent on snow and ice but can also deliver an efficient performance when driving on dry and wet surfaces. In fact, these tires have outperformed their rivals during several tests in recent years. Among other features, they are characterized by:

• Zigzag grooves
• Ejector grooves, including a wide lateral groove
• Blocks optimized for dry pavement
• V-shaped directional pattern for better grip on snow

Ventus tires are available in both summer and all-season models, so let’s take a closer look:

• S1 models are designed for performance. They offer great rolling comfort and good noise reduction, and that’s quite rare for a sports tire. They also offer excellent grip on wet surfaces thanks to their advanced aqua hydro block design and new silica compound.
• The summer-only evo3 model was the winner of the Auto Express test this year and delivers the same advantages outlined above.
• The V2 models are all-purpose tires that balance performance and durability.
• The RS4 model is a summer timer designed to deliver outstanding handling on dry roads s well as extremely precise steering.

Hankook also offers three exclusive all-season models.

• The Optimo is the model for those who want the best durability, which it delivers thanks to its incredible resistance to wear and tear. Its sidewall is designed to resist ozone, aging and just about any type of damage. The solid center rib delivers improved stability and responsiveness.
• Dynapro is the model for SUVs and light trucks. It excels at both on- and off-road driving thanks to its multidirectional grooves and sipes. Among other advantages, the AT2 version is certified for winter driving, while the MT2 focuses primarily on durability in off-road conditions. The MT2 also includes side impact protection and a wider shoulder.
