Hankook Tyres

1. Summer tyres. Optimal tread design and low rolling resistance allow to reduce fuel consumption. Some automobile tyres are fitted with a wear indicator that helps to adjust the wheel alignment angle. Due to the enhanced sidewall stiffness, tires feature excellent wear-resistance. Thanks to the silica compound used in vehicle tyres, the grip improved both with dry and wet road surface. High density of the cord-breaker increases course keeping ability. This category is represented by the following tyre series:
   • Ventus Prime2;
   • Ventus S1 evo2;
   • Ventus R-s3;
   • Kinergy Eco;
   • Optimo ME02.
2. Winter tyres. Fitted with wide grooves Aqua Slant to disperse water, snow and slush from the contact area. For better ice grip performance,  studs are used and the tread is made from soft rubber. In order to reduce braking distance on slippery roads, the developers enlarged the contact area. Reinforced design of the tread improves steering of the vehicle fitted with the Hankook tires. Deep tread pattern ensures excellent road grip and high acceleration while driving on ice or snow. The most popular auto tire series are:
   • Winter I'Pike;
   • Winter i'Pike RS;
   • Winter i'cept iZ 2;
   • Winter i'cept evo2;
   • Winter i'cept RS.
