The Hankook W440 Icebear tire is a non-studded winter model featuring a directional V-shaped tread pattern, combining excellent traction properties, economy, wear resistance, comfort, carcass strength, and excellent resistance to aquaplaning. A specially designed asymmetric tread pattern gives the tire good stability when cornering and minimizes noise generation. Whatever conditions you drive in, whether it's light slush or heavy snow, this tire will always allow you to control the situation on the road.
It is also necessary to note the excellent wear-resistant characteristics of the Hankook W440 Icebear tires, which allow for a long period of operation without replacement. The directional V-shaped tread and longitudinal straight grooves provide excellent vehicle handling during high-speed driving. Wide transverse grooves increase resistance to aquaplaning and on wet road surfaces. The silica-containing Silica material composition improves traction characteristics and reduces rolling resistance.
Thanks to SCCT technology (stiffness control theory), the vehicle's handling and side and belt cord characteristics have been improved. The contact surface of the tire, obtained by the finite element method, creates a more even wear and increases the ride quality.
The tire is designed based on advanced technologies and has successfully passed all tests and tests. This tire provides the vehicle with reliability when driving at any speed mode. This is achieved due to the presence of a number of transverse and longitudinal grooves, and the presence of silicon components in the rubber mixture.
Main features of the Hankook W440 Icebear tire
- A directional "V"-shaped tread and straight channels made it possible to achieve excellent handling when driving at high speeds;
- Three longitudinal channels and wide grooves increase the resistance to aquaplaning, improving the behavior of the tire on wet road surfaces.
- A continuous double track, located in the central zone, improves the quality of handling, and the presence of silica in the rubber mixture improves operational characteristics on wet surfaces and reduces rolling resistance.
- The SCCT system improves handling and extends the lifespan of the tire.
