Шины Hankook K715 Optimo 175/65 R15 84T

Released by one of the leaders in the development and production of automotive tires, the Hankook K715 Optimo light summer tire is designed for compact passenger cars.

In the development of the tread pattern design, computer modeling tools were widely used, which gave the tire an optimal set of basic operational characteristics. A distinctive feature of this tire is the asymmetric tread pattern design, which significantly affected the effectiveness of combating aquaplaning. The tire's tread pattern consists of three central ribs and wide shoulder areas with a sloping profile, separated by four longitudinal water-dispensing grooves, which, in combination with transverse grooves and numerous lamellas, provided the tire with remarkable traction and handling characteristics when driving on wet roads.

The solid central rib of the Hankook K715 Optimo tire gives the tire excellent directional stability, as well as increased responsiveness to steering wheel turns. The two ribs located in the central part of the tread are separated by transverse water-dispensing grooves into separate blocks, the multitude of edges of which significantly improved the traction and braking characteristics.

The large width of the shoulder areas of the tread and their rounded profile gave the tire high resistance to the occurrence of lateral skidding, which adds confidence when passing turns. In addition, the rounded profile of the shoulder areas largely determines the tire's resistance to uneven wear, which leads to a reduction in the life of the tire.
