Hankook H725 Mileage Plus II

The all-season tire Hankook H725 Mileage Plus II was specifically designed for the North American market, where it is intended for year-round operation. One of the distinctive features of this model is its extremely low noise level and durability. This was mainly achieved due to the tread pattern, which was obtained through the widespread use of computer modeling tools. With their help, Korean tire makers were able to choose a tread pattern that provides excellent handling on any type of road surface. At the same time, the tire is characterized by a low noise level and softness of the ride.

It is also impossible not to note the excellent applicability of this model. It can be successfully installed not only on ordinary sedans and hatchbacks but also on minivans and microbuses.

Korean tire tread design

The distinctive features of this tire are:

- extremely low noise level and excellent softness of the ride;
- excellent handling, both on wet and dry roads;
- very long service life.

Such characteristics were achieved largely due to the S-shaped symmetrical tread pattern, literally teeming with large blocks. At the same time, all blocks have a quadrangular shape and are grouped into five rows located along the tread. In addition, it is worth noting the unidirectional arrangement of their edges. In the central part of the tread, they are located at an acute angle to the direction of movement. This arrangement makes it possible to ensure maximum acceleration efficiency and give the tire stability during sharp maneuvering. At the same time, the blocks of the shoulder zones of the tread are located at a right angle to the axis of rotation. Thanks to this, braking on a slippery surface becomes more effective.

The long service life of the Hankook H725 Mileage Plus II is achieved due to the increased wear resistance of the tread. Two factors played a significant role in this - the tread pattern with large blocks and the optimized tire profile. This combination made it possible not only to maximize the area of the contact patch but also to ensure a very even distribution of external weight on it. As a result, it was possible to minimize the likelihood of such a negative phenomenon as uneven wear. In addition, the increase in the size of the contact patch made it possible to significantly improve traction with the surface.

Excellent resistance to aquaplaning

The design of the drainage system also deserves a commendable assessment. Its high efficiency is due to the block structure of the tread. The large number of blocks made it possible to saturate the tread pattern with drainage channels to the maximum. At the same time, their sufficiently large width and depth make it possible to quickly get rid of not only water but also much more heavy snow slush, which ensures high resistance to splash planning.

Traction on snow

This model is perfectly suitable for safe movement, including on snow-covered roads. This is largely due to the same block structure of the tread pattern. Its blocks form an infinite number of sharp edges, the unidirectional arrangement of which ensures reliable traction with a slippery surface. In addition, special lamellas are located on the surface of each block, which, when in contact with the road surface, create a large number of edges that grip the irregularities on its surface.

Key features of Hankook H725 Mileage Plus II

- The S-shaped tread pattern is exceptionally versatile, ensuring the possibility of year-round operation;
- The tread pattern with 5 longitudinal ribs, thanks to which the tire demonstrates excellent directional stability;
- The special shape of the profile in combination with the massive sizes of the tread blocks provides not only a large contact patch area but also an even distribution of external pressure on it;
- A large number of tread blocks with lamellas on their surface form an infinite number of traction edges.
