The presented tyre is marked with 3PMSF symbol (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake). It means that the tyre meets the EU requirements for winter tyres. The symbol is awarded after thorough tests of a tyre model in terms of snow grip.
Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 W330B is a winter tyre for passenger cars and SUVs. Technologically advanced successor to the Winter i*cept evo3 models performs very well in demanding conditions, keeping travelers safe. To ensure that the tyres are reliable throughout the winter period regardless of the weather, the manufacturer has relied on a number of modern solutions. Among other things, it has succeeded in: improving braking performance on wet roads - by up to 10% and on snow by 7% - compared to the previous model.
Dry pavement: the car drives confidently thanks to the widened shoulder area and pads with optimised stiffness.
Wet pavement: transverse water channels connected to wide, directional grooves are of great importance In addition, the tyre uses a second-generation Aqua Pine compound which, thanks to its silica and highly refined resin, performs well on wet as well as white powder roads.
Snow-covered pavement: The manufacturer has used transverse grooves on the shoulders for more confident winter steering. The well thought-out groove layout in the central part of the tread, as well as the zigzag 3D sipes, are also extremely important.
For even better handling in difficult conditions, care has been taken to increase the rigidity of the tread, including by means of robust wires in the belt. The higher number of steel cords improves the handling characteristics of the tyres and also affects the steering. Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 W330B tyres are durable, so they will not only serve you well, but for a long time.
The model marked B is equipped with a Run Flat system. This means that once the computer has communicated a tyre failure, you can safely make your way to the nearest vulcaniser (by limiting your speed). This ensures that a tyre puncture should not cause a dangerous situation on the road.
Hankook is a South Korean brand that is making every effort to be compared with premium representatives. Although it still represents the medium-sized segment, the technologies used and the approach to design do not deviate from the standards adopted by the largest manufacturers in the market.
