Hankook Icebear W310 is designed for premium and sport sedan-type vehicles for driving on winter roads. It is a medium-range tyre, which means the tyre’s specification has been optimized for the price. It delivers impressive grip on snowy, wet or muddy surfaces and provides a well-balanced and precise driving experience.
HankookIcebear W310 uses auxiliary internal sipes. This tyre pattern ensures the best gripping performance on ice and snow. The sipes enable the tyre to grip more precisely and corner more dynamically.
HankookIcebear W310 utilizes an inside-to-outside groove system which optimizes the pitch of the tyre. This enables the tyre to be as noiseless as possible, and reduces driver fatigue on longer journeys. Furthermore, three longitudinal grooves improve the braking and handling response by reducing sliding on snow and ice.
The tyre pattern of the Hankook Icebear W310 is based on a polar bear’s claw. This practice of science mimicking nature, allows the tyre to literally tame snowy conditions, and enable seamless movement in the snow, just as a polar bear would. As it’s an asymmetric tyre pattern, the outer tread promotes water reduction through large grooves, and the inner tread maintains intimate road contact.
