Hankook Winter i*cept iZ2 W616 205/55 R16 94T

In the second generation, the winter “shoes” for the Hankook Winter i * cept iZ2 series car have changed beyond recognition: a directional design has replaced the asymmetry in the model’s tread pattern, and a 20% increase in the number of checkers has increased the number of gripping edges of a tyre with a slippery road.

Directional Design

An aggressive herringbone-shaped rib is launched in the centre of the treadmill, which acts as a guarantor of stable directional stability of the car and quick self-cleaning of the tread from snow slush and water. The tread blocks are pierced with threads of interlocking three-dimensional sipes. Together, they form a large galaxy of gripping edges and minimize the deformation of the blocks when rolling.

Technological "chips"

The technological “chips” of the model, introduced by Japanese tyre manufacturers, are gripping “claws” Grip Claw (increase grip on loose snow), slits with inclined sharp edges to capture ice and absorbent holes to prevent the tyre from slipping on slush. Thanks to effective drainage, the model's resistance to longitudinal and transverse hydroplaning is rated as a solid "five".

Yearly option

Generally speaking, the Hankook Winter i*cept iZ2 W616 shows clear response to steering commands, holds tenaciously on the surface of winter roads and does not make excessive rolling noise. And even though the model is slightly inferior in grip to competitors from the mid-low-cost segment, and sometimes does not hold the wet road in the corners in the best way, with an eye to the price tag of the tyre, the best option among the brand offers in the medium segment of friction rubber is essentially not found.
