The all-season tire for SUVs and crossovers Hankook RH03 Dynapro AS belongs to the High Terrain category, being designed primarily for use on asphalt roads. It stands out with improved traction on snow and wet surfaces, comfort of handling during maneuvers, reduced fuel consumption and noise level, and increased tread life.
The tread pattern consists of massive elements distributed along five longitudinal ribs. Such a design minimizes rolling resistance and slows down the process of abrasive wear of the tire. The dense arrangement of the ribs and the special shape of the tread profile not only increase the area of the contact zone with the road surface but also contribute to the maximum uniform distribution of pressure across it, which has a positive effect on both the stability of the traction properties and the comfort of handling the vehicle. Another important feature of the pattern is the presence of a large number of drainage elements. Numerous longitudinal and transverse grooves prevent the formation of a continuous water film between the tire and the road surface, ensuring reliable handling on wet surfaces. It is worth noting the presence of lamellas and shoulder blocks with elongated transverse edges. These elements in such conditions increase the intensity of braking. The next important distinction of the tire is the rubber compound. In its composition, it is close to the compounds from winter tires, being able to remain elastic in very cold conditions, which increases the traction properties on snowy surfaces.
Key features of Hankook RH03 Dynapro AS:
- a tread pattern with massive elements improves traction properties at high speeds, providing "light" handling;
- unidirectional grooves prevent aquaplaning at almost any speed;
- the tread profile, which increases the tire's contact area with the road, improves traction and handling comfort;
- a "winter" compound with increased elasticity at low temperatures ensures the reliability of traction properties on snowy surfaces
