The most stylish tires of last year

09 february 2013
Awards have found their heroes. Companies Vredestein, Hankook, Kumho were marked for the original design of car tires, which they presented on the market last year. In the honorary company of 45 different companies noted by the Chicago Museum of Architecture and Design, these 3 tire manufacturers deservedly took their places for the original drawings of the protectors of their products.

So, Vredestein was marked for the summer model of UHP tires Ultrac Vorti, Kumho stood out due to the all-season tire Ecsta 4X KU22, and Hankook amazed the jury members with its winter tire Winter i*cept evo W310.

Vredestein last year presented, perhaps, the tire with the most stylish design, which, by the way, was worked on by Italian specialists from Giugiaro, and the inclusion of this model in the honorary list of the best design solutions was the most predictable.

Kumho took second place due to the complex design, combining a serrated edge, many transverse grooves and other solutions that allowed the tire to be used throughout the year.

The third place remained with Hankook. The designers noted the original shape of the grooves, which is distinguished not only by its unique shape but also by its functionality, allowing it to be used even in the conditions of the Russian winter.
