Hankook snow tyres impress testers
By John SwiftIndustry News17th November 2018
Hankook’s winter tyres give a convincing performance when leading European magazine journalists put its i*cept RS 2 and i*cept Evo 2 through a variety of tests.
Above all, the specialist media from Germany, Finland, Russia, Sweden and the UK praised the handling and braking characteristics of Hankook tyres on snow. Hankook’s success model for the sort of winter conditions we can expect here, even in a particularly bad winter, – the i*cept RS 2 – was among the top-rated tyres. Many noted and praised its ‘excellent handling properties in all weather conditions.’ Auto Express found it to be ‘highly reliable, precise and providing powerful traction.’
Another tyre designed for our winter road conditions in Central and Western Europe is Hankook’s Winter i*cept Evo 2. The ultra-high performance winter tyre impressed above all with its strong braking performance on snow-covered roads and grip on bends and corners. The tyre tread ‘offers exemplary traction properties when braking on snow’, is ‘easy to manage in wet conditions’ while providing ‘safe understeering’ on dry roads.
