Winter i*cept iON
More information
Handle the Winter
Advanced Handling in Winter Conditions
Enhanced Cornering Stability
EV Contour Technology
Tire stiffness is essential to be improved to bear the weightof electric vehicles. Hankook’s EV. Contour Technology increases cornering stiffness by 7% to advance electric vehicle handling performance.
Improved Snow Traction
Optimised Sipe Angles
The angles of sipes on the Winter i'cept iON (and X) are optimised to improve brakingand traction on snow. The accuracy of sipe angles can significantly improve safety on snowy roads.
Superior Handling on Winter Roads
Diversified Sipes
The tread pattern rigidity is optimised by applying 2D sipes in the center and 3D sipes in the blocks surrounding. This allows the Winter i’cept iON (and X) to provide superior handling on all types of winter road surfaces.
Advanced Snow Performance secured, adding Reduced Rolling Resistance
EVolution Compound
Composed with highconcentration silica and ecofriendly materials, the EVolution compound provides satisfactory mileage and further reduced rolling resistance without missing snow performance.
Charge Less, Cruise More
Extended Range
Further Reduced Rolling Resistance
The Winter i*cept iON (and X) achieved a decent grade in LRR performance by applying an advanced compound and Hankook tyre’s optimised curing technology which improves all parts of the tyre equally.
Drive in Peace
Noise Proof Technology
Minimised Tread Pattern Noise
Multi-Pitch Optimization
Tyre noise can be drastically reduced by optimising the pitch sequence. The Winter i’cept iON (and X) has optimised the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.
Minimised Cavity Noise
Knurling Technology
The Winter i'cept iON (and X)'s knurling technology applied inside the grooves effectively reduces resonance noise during road contact by narrowing the air path, without losing the groove's intended features.
By applying a noise absorbing material inside, the cavity noise isreduced by up to 9dB.
