Hankook Winter i*cept RS3 (W462) 205/45 R17 88V XL M+S winter tyres

• Reversed V-shaped Semi Grooves
  Reversed V-shaped grooves are designed opposite to the main grooves, improving traction on snowy roads.
• Micro edge
  Sipes placed around the edges of the main grooves increase the contact area, providing better traction in winding snowy roads.

• 3D Winter Sipe
  3D zig-zag sipes reduce vibration of the tread blocks, improving the traction and braking performances of the tyre.
• Aqua Pine Compound
  The high loading silica compound provides an improved wet performance. Natural ingredients ensure the rubber's flexibility in a wide temperature range.

• Aqua slush edge grooves
  Large V-shaped grooves allow water to quickly pass through the main grooves, reducing hydroplaning.
• Water Pipe Kerf
  The water pipe kerf placed in the shoulder block improves wet performance by ejecting water from the main groove.

Improved tread block strengths
With narrower grooves and larger tread blocks, stiffer tyres can provide easier handling of vehicles in dry conditions with higher friction. By increasing both the lateral and longitudinal strengths of the tire, drivers can experience improved elasticity even at low yemperatures.
