Released by one of the world's leading manufacturers, the summer passenger tire Hankook K702 is designed for compact passenger cars.
The asymmetric tread pattern of the tire is developed in full accordance with the innovative TCT (Trapezoid Contour Theory) technology. The use of an asymmetric tread pattern has radically improved the tire's grip on wet surfaces, while providing the maximum possible contact area with the road, which has a beneficial effect on traction and braking characteristics when driving on dry roads. The tire is distinguished by its high directional stability and low rolling resistance, thanks to the presence of a solid rib located in the central part of the tread.
Also, the two rows of separate trapezoidal blocks located in the central part of the tread are designed to provide high traction and grip indicators, as well as significantly reduce the level of noise and vibration, thereby increasing comfort while driving. To prevent lateral skidding that occurs when turning, the shoulder areas of the Hankook K702 tire are correspondingly reinforced. In addition, their rounded profile is an effective way to combat uneven wear, which is a consequence of tire deformation that occurs when turning due to high lateral load.
The tire's rubber compound has a high silica content, which ensures high traction indicators, especially on water-covered surfaces. In addition, the use of silicon-containing components in the tire's rubber compound has a beneficial effect on the tire's service life.
Key features of the Hankook K702 tire
- Excellent traction, grip, and braking characteristics thanks to the use of innovative TCT technology in the tread pattern design;
- High efficiency in combating aquaplaning is ensured by four longitudinal grooves;
- The asymmetric tread pattern has significantly improved the tire's grip when driving on water-covered roads without compromising other characteristics;
- High driving comfort is provided by the softness and low noise level ensured by the two rows of trapezoidal blocks;
- High fuel economy indicators are ensured by low rolling resistance.
