Tyre reviews Hankook W616 I*Cept IZ2. Page 1 285

Good for city driving, but absolutely terrible on ice. Very quiet, extremely soft in cold temperatures. I'd give them a 4/5 for traction.

Tires fully justified themselves. Quite quiet and soft. Cautious on ice, still no studs (no problems if you follow speed limits). Great traction on snow, wet roads.

For a long time, I was deciding on the choice, I re-read numerous reviews and tests. I chose the middle price category, perfectly aware that miracles don't happen. The choice fell on Korean manufacturers, as the optimal ones in terms of price/quality.

Does not fear as a drifted/soft/moist snow, and a dry asphalt. At a temperature of up to -10 begins to float a bit. The composition of the rubber with the use of silica

Soft tires, no noise, good roadholding, excellent on ice in the yards, brakes well and accelerates, mostly I'm driving in the city where roads are mostly cleared, can't say anything about durability yet, so 4 stars

Pretty good winter tires in the city.
Completely silent, soft.
In the snow and on dry roads - confident, good.
On ice - be careful, no studs.
There may be difficulties with the installation due to the softness, some tires may not be seated properly on the rim the first time, good wheel alignment is required.

The tyres are quite good - soft, quiet, don't get damaged by potholes, no cracks. Just be a bit more careful on ice. Otherwise, they've earned their keep.

Excellent tires for city and cleared roads. Probably not worth it for icy roads (or at a slow pace), but very good on hard surfaces and snow. Quiet, soft, very high level of comfort. Braking and traction properties are quite decent. Not afraid of potholes and bumps, sidewalls are stiff enough. Everything is fine, except for the presence and future price

Excellent tires. I drive in the city, they have proven themselves very well. For the first time I bought non-studded, on the advice of friends. Excellent grip and ride. Compared to studded tires, there is no noise, which is very pleasing. But on ice, of course, you need to be careful - I braked early a couple of times, but the braking distance was longer than I expected. In general, I am very satisfied with the tires and recommend them to everyone.

I bought the tires in 2020, in the 21-22 season, they are soft and not noisy. Braking on a snowy road (white) from 70 km/h takes 5 seconds. My previous tires, Japanese Yakohama Geolandar 2012 with a mileage of 45,000 km, held worse. Now the car handles, starts and brakes well if you don't provoke it. On the old tires, with sharp acceleration (that's how I test the snow every new day), the tires would slip, and the revs would instantly reach the red zone. The new tires slip, but the revs don't jump high, the tires skid, but grip, and the car accelerates. Everything is fine, you can buy them! I also want to try driving on Hakapeliitta R and Blizzak new ones to test them. I'll try to buy them next year.

The mileage on them is still small, but it's definitely possible to make some initial conclusions - it's well-balanced, quiet, and not bad on snow and slush. When driving on ice, the behavior is acceptable, it's clear that it's not as effective as studded tires, but there's not much solid ice in our city (Chernozem region), only in garages, and driving on asphalt with studded tires 95% of the time is not much fun. In general, for their price, I'm quite satisfied with them and can recommend them for purchase.
