Tyre reviews Hankook W636A Winter I*Cept IZ3 X 44

Normal soft tires. There's a "glitch" with lateral stability when turning on ice. A heavy Carnival "slips". The car doesn't respond to either the brake or the gas for a short time. The same feeling is present when turning on dry roads, but the car doesn't slip and responds properly to the gas pedal. Most likely, this is all due to the soft edge. The tires are suitable for calm city driving and normal highway driving, since it's mostly dry there. On black ice on the highway (especially thin), you need to reduce your speed when turning and be more careful. I tried lowering the pressure, like in old Bridgestone tires - there's almost no effect. Black ice in courtyards is a nightmare. But I think that's the case with all winter tires. The tire is hard 4+ with advantages for the highway,

Perhaps there are even better tires, but based on my experience after Bridgestone DM-V1 and Bridgestone DM-V2, the new solution from Hankook is definitely the best so far. Moreover, in all parameters: better stability on snow and ice, less rolling resistance, less noise... Except that the comfort of softness is comparable. Highly recommended. Size: 235/55 R19.

I've driven through a snowy winter in the Moscow region on Hankook Winter i*cept iZ3 X studded tires. I'm very satisfied with the tires.
Key points:
Ice and glare ice - it holds exceptionally well for a non-studded tire. On the most icy mornings (and Moscow suburbs are no exception) the car brakes confidently, entering turns without surprises.
Snowy slush - the tread self-cleans well, the car doesn't wobble either in a rut or on a broken rural road.
Comfort - the main advantage of non-studded tires over studded ones: it's very quiet! On the M-2 highway or the Moscow Ring Road, there's almost no noise, and it smoothly passes over joints and small potholes.
Cold resistance - at -25°C, it doesn't become brittle and retains its elasticity.
Throughout the entire season, I never regretted not choosing studded tires. For a typical Moscow winter (slush, clean asphalt, temperature fluctuations, rare icy days), this tire is the ideal balance of safety and comfort. I recommend it!

I live in Sochi, I changed my tires at the beginning of January, because the native Chinese summer tires were poorly holding on dry asphalt, and on wet roads were simply hazardous. With winter tires, the car started to handle the road superbly. Yes, there was no snow and frost yet, but in Sochi winter is slush and temperatures from three to seven degrees, and the tires are behaving perfectly. I like it.

255/45 R20

99% of the time I operate in urban conditions. Snow of all types - no complaints, if the snowdrifts on the road are removed, in the yards it perfectly copes with snowdrifts up to the bumper. Balancing also went well. For the city, the price/quality ratio is ideal.

But there is an unpleasant nuance

I went out of town at -15, having previously driven around the city for half an hour, at high speed there was a huge feeling of discomfort, as if the rubber had become stiff (maybe it was) and the wheels had turned into some kind of rollers. This effect is felt at a speed of 100 in the frost. Then I drove when it was warmer -7 and there was no such effect.

Arrived on time, production date 17/25, will add review after installation

Three tires arrived at 17 weeks 25th, and one at 16 weeks 25th - that's around late April 25th, meaning they are over a year old, I don't see anything wrong with that. The tires are soft, smell like new))) in general, I consider it a worthwhile purchase of Hankook 235/55/18 for 36tr.

Took off a star for China although Korea is indicated in the picture.

Came from China, indicated Korea.

Holds the road well. Does not make noise.
