The winter tire Hankook W636 Winter I*Cept IZ3 is a new product from a well-known manufacturer. The model stands out with improved coupling indicators on winter roads, ensuring a higher level of safety. It has implemented a number of technical innovations, through which the working characteristics have been optimized.
Tread
The pattern has a symmetrical directional structure, the central zone of which is represented by a solid ring rib. It is responsible for maneuverability and quick response to steering wheel turns. Large channels depart from the central part, which, compared to the previous model, have an increased volume. This has had a positive effect on the ability to quickly remove a large amount of moisture, slush, and dirt from the contact area, maintaining the efficiency of coupling.
The presence of special straight cuts, which are located at a certain angle, in combination with three-dimensional lamellas, provides high stability on icy roads. This design solution made it possible to increase the acceleration characteristics on a slippery surface by 11%.
An important feature of the tire is the wide shoulder areas, which contribute to an increase in the contact area. Thanks to this, the model demonstrates confident behavior not only on dry, but also on snowy roads, minimizing skidding.
Compound
The tire is designed using a high-tech rubber mixture. Its composition includes highly purified composite, which is combined with polymers having extended molecular chains. This has been reflected in the maintenance of elasticity under various temperature regimes.
Additionally, the tire undergoes a special vulcanization stage, which has resulted in a decrease in rolling resistance and an increase in wear-resistant properties. As a result, the model contributes to fuel economy and is distinguished by its durability. The manufacturer guarantees a minimum mileage of 80,000 km.
Key features of Hankook W636 Winter I*Cept IZ3:
- versatility of application in the winter period on most modern cars due to the variability of sizes;
- a wide contact patch with developed shoulder areas contributes to stable vehicle behavior, both on dry and snowy roads;
- the presence of 3D lamellas and diagonally directed notches increases stability on icy surfaces;
- increased drainage channels can handle large volumes of slush and water, ensuring the cleanliness of the contact area.
