Hankook Winter i*cept evo2 W320 is an improved version of the popular i*cept evo W310.
Are you looking for winter tyres which will prove themselves in any weather conditions? Hankook Winter i*cept evo2 W320 is the solution for you. With these tyres, you will always reach your destination with comfort and safety no matter the weather.
The optimised tread pattern ensures a perfect drive on any type of surface. The tyre performs particularly well on a typical winter road.
The cubic shape of the blocks and their increased number provide better braking on snow and slush.
Special “snow” grooves (presented in the picture) have a larger area, so they drain snow more efficiently. The transverse notches give an additional edging effect, and the extension of the gripping edges results in an improved grip and stability. The tyre also uses zig-zag traction grooves, which ensure a better traction due to an increased number of crossing grooves.
As a result, the drive is dynamic and full value, both on dry and a wet roads.
Tread technology: sipes (blue marking on the left side), ice notches (blue points at the tread rib), snow grooves (marked white) and zig-zag grooves (blue marking).
If you appreciate an economical and ecological drive, we have good news. Hankook Winter i*cept evo2 W320 has been designed based on a rubber compound with components that allow the reduction of the tyre’s weight. This has translated into lowed rolling resistance and, thus, a reduced fuel consumption. The new compound also provides a larger road contact due to a limited hardening process even during driving on cold and wet surfaces.
Two straight circumferential grooves (visible in the picture) are responsible for water drainage from under the crown ply. They also reduce the risk of aquaplaning and generation of vibration during rolling.
The tread is equipped with special notches for ice, which guarantee a better grip during turning and sudden manoeuvres on icy surfaces.
Performance on a dry surface is ensured, among other things, by the square shape of the shoulder rib blocks, which ensure driving stability.
The widened tyre shoulders improve the steerability and grip.
Hankook is one of the largest tyre manufacturers. It is an independent Korean company which is currently ranked 7th in the world in terms of the number of tyres sold. They are seated in Seoul and have production plants in Hungary, Korea and China.
Their products are available in over 170 countries worldwide, and the high quality is proved by the fact that their products are selected as the original equipment by such car manufacturers as Volvo, Ford, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Volkswagen and Renault. The company is also famous for reliable racing tyres. Hankook tyres are used e.g. in Asian Le Mans Series and American Le Mans Series.

I took advice from Hankook UK before purchasing these tyres as I wanted to check their compatibility with my car as I went a size narrower than usual (245 vs 265) on the rears, they have a 40 profile instead of a 35. The tyres surprised me in a couple of ways, firstly they were quieter than the summer Goodyear F1's and secondly they gave a much more compliant ride, they also give good fuel economy, I can get over 40mpg cruising at 85mph in continental Europe. It's a bit early to tell what the wear is like as I on put on c3000 miles in the few months they were fitted but there is no discernable wear, I have my car realigned every time I fit or refit tyres to ensure tracking is perfect. I have taken these off now (for the summer) and replaced them with a new set of F1's which are no quieter, no more economical and the ride isn't better either. These tyres are good value and every bit as good as the more premium brands I have used, I'd recommend trying them Read more Collapse
Summary: I recommend this tyre
Overall assessment:
The grip on dry surface 5/5
The grip on wet surface 5/5
The grip on snow and slush 5/5

Opinion from outside the UK
Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 works really well for some faster driving, on the highways for example. I drive quite a lot so it is kind of important for me to have tyres which will be not too noisy as I travel very often with my family. I need to say that this model provides good driving comfort though. Unfortunately I had no opportunity to test them on some snow, slush or heavier weather conditions. However, I have done some mileage already during rains and on wet surfaces. This tyre drains water perfectly and keep the vehicle on the road with no problems. One more thing which I would like to mention is the fact that if you are struggling to choose the best tyre model for you then you should call Oponeo. They will help you to make good decision definitely. Read more Collapse

For a first time I decided to buy Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 and in the same time it is my first SUV tyre set. I had not too many chances to drive on snow but if it comes to traction on slush or wet road I can say anything bad. They are even more quiet than some summer top class tyres which I have used recently. Durability seems to be good enough so far as I noticed only some small signs of wear but there is nothing to be worried about yet. I am really please with this Hankook model and there is a quite big chance that I will buy my next tyres set from this manufacturer once again. Read more Collapse

I have only had these about 2 months and done about 1k miles and so far grip seems to be good in all conditions I have swapped to winter tyres from Hankook K120's which I think are an excellent tyre in all conditions, especially in dry, they are not as good as these with a bit more roll due to tread pattern as you would expect from a more open tread but still hold the road well and are predictable on changeable road conditions. I would need to wait and see what they are like in ice and snow conditions, but so far I am happy with the purchase of these Hankooks. Read more Collapse

Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 works much better when temperature is low and even some snow or slush leys down. When weather outside is more summer than winter this particular tyre loses a little bit quality. It is much better when it is kind of cold outside. Noise and the fuel efficiency are not the most important for me too. The main thing is the grip and it is just great but only on wet and slushy road. I have not noticed better fuel efficiency but it is not higher at least. Worth the money as it works for purpose of winter tyre. Read more Collapse

Excellent tyre model indeed. I decided to try them by all the parameters and test scores. As this model has been brand new I had no possibility to read any opinions. If you have 4x4 vehicle Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 will give you really nice time and will allow you to use your car fully. This tyre provides sense of confidence and safety too. Snow or slush is not a problem at all. On wet roads there is no aquaplaning risk. I can not say anything about fuel efficiency just because I have them from too short time. Read more Collapse

I was wondering if should I choose this new model or the previous one. I have made some mileage on them already in few different weather conditions. Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 provides good sense of safety and keep the car on the road easily. I had no problems to drive through some snow, braking and starting like normal. I would like to say I use my car in city traffic, some longer distances between cities and even some light off road. All possible surfaces and conditions are ok for this tyre model. Recommended.

Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 works for purpose really well. Driving comfort is on really high level, it is not possible to hear anything annoying inside of the car. Traction during some speed driving on a highways is great. Makes me feel safe. This tyre can handle snow and slush easily too. I am not worried about the roads and weather conditions anymore. If you will drive reasonably Hankook will cooperate with you and driving will be easy and nice. Read more Collapse

Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 is great tyre model. I bought it for decent price. Delivered quite fast. I am satisfied with the quality and performance of this Hankook model. Recently I had some premium class tyre model fitted. I would say that even if Hankook is the middle class officially that it should be changed shortly because quality is much better. No problems with driving on snow or slush. I can give best possible score. Recommended. Read more Collapse

I am professional driver from many, many years. I used a lot of different tyres already so I can make some valid opinion though. I used winter tyres from this manufacturer for a first time and I am positively surprised. Traction is great and noise level is really low for a winter tyre. I have tested them on all possible weather conditions and all have been handled well. I can recommend Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 with clear conscience. Read more Collapse

After four winters with some budget tyres models I decided to purchase something better. My choice was Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320. First impression was great. They are much more quiet than previous ones which I used. Much more quiet. Traction on wet road is excellent, keeps the vehicle on the road confidently. I am still waiting to test them on snow but I am pretty sure that it will be all right. For 100% worth the money. Read more Collapse

This tyre model works really great especially on snow. I am impressed. I made a trip to a mountains and Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 was just great. I can not complain about anything. Recently I used some premium class winter tyres and I need to say that I can not see any difference between them and Hankooks. It may be pointless to buy more expensive tyre if this one is on the same quality level. Recommended. Read more Collapse

I have an impression that Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 may be not the best for some heavy winter weather and a lot of snow but probably there is no tyre model which could handle such conditions. It is more than enough for city driving for most of the time. Especially recommended for 4x4 vehicles. Low noise level and good fuel efficiency are advantages. Probably will buy again.

Fitted these to my Audi TTS, so was unsure if performance would be reduced in normal conditions. Given the power of this car I was surprised that there was no real difference in handling etc. This car has a firm ride anyway and the tyres didn’t appear any more noisy or lose grip, whilst grip was excellent in snow and icy conditions, will definitely use these again Read more Collapse

I have bought Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 not too long ago but I had some opportunities to test them. So far I am really pleased with the driving comfort, especially on asphalt roads. It is quiet and provides good traction. Snow and slush is removed from the surface smoothly. There is no good tyres for ice so I can not expect it from Hankook too. Read more Collapse

No degradation in performance over the original tyres (Dunlop), on dry road surfaces. Weather has not been severe enough to properly assess their performance in snow and ice, but the tyres have performed well in the limited amount of icy conditions we've had in north east England (by late January 2016). Wet weather performance has been satisfactory. Read more Collapse

I underestimated Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 until I actually bought and used them for a while. I am really impressed how it works for both, wet and dry road. I tested them on some snow and slush and I can not say anything bad about them. After this kind of experience I will definitely buy summer set from this manufacturer. Worth the money.

I bought Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 for last winter, so few months ago already. Really good on dry road. Wet surface is not really a problem too.

Hankook Winter icept evo2 W320 works really nice. I have some premium class tyres fitted on my other car but I can not see any difference in quality between them and Hankooks to be honest.
