The tyre meets the European Union's requirements for winter tyres
Carries the 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Flake) symbol, which is awarded after the model in question has been thoroughly tested for snow grip.
Hankook Winter i*cept RS3 W462B is a tyre that makes everyday passenger car travel safer. They ensure that winter conditions are no longer an obstacle to getting to designated areas. The rubber compound used for the model is suitable for very low temperatures. It does not subsequently lose elasticity, which could significantly impair the tyre's performance.
The directional tread pattern is interspersed with grooves that form an inverted V shape. In this way, it was possible to improve grip when driving on snow. The dense network of 3D zigzag sipes is also not insignificant, ensuring that even cornering in winter weather is not a problem. They also contribute to greater braking efficiency.
When it rains or there is slush on the road, grooves that efficiently channel water protect against dangerous aquaplaning. This means reducing the risk of slipping. At the same time, the tread blocks are designed to provide the best possible traction on dry surfaces.
Hankook is one of the world's largest tyre manufacturers, specialising in tyres and high performance. Despite the fact that the South Korean brand is classified in the medium segment, it successfully competes with representatives of the premium class.
