Hankook 1014275 Optimo H429 165/80R13 83T All-Season Passenger Tire

The Hankook Optimo H429 (Smart Plus) is an all-season touring tire engineered for passenger car drivers who demand year-round reliability without sacrificing comfort. Designed with a symmetric tread pattern and a special silica compound, the H429 maintains flexible, responsive rubber in both warm and cold conditions for consistent dry, wet, and light winter-weather grip.

Key Features:

• 4-Groove Tread Design: Four circumferential grooves channel water and slush away from the contact patch, providing effective hydroplaning resistance and confident wet-weather braking
• Straight Center Block: A continuous center rib maintains a stable, constant road contact patch for improved steering response and directional stability
• 5-Pitch Tread Arrangement: Variable pitch sequencing across five tread block sizes reduces harmonic noise buildup, delivering a quieter, more comfortable cabin experience
• Silica-Enhanced All-Season Compound: Keeps the tread pliable across a wide temperature range, optimizing traction in both summer heat and near-freezing winter conditions
• Reinforced Internal Structure: Maintains optimal tire shape under load and at speed, supporting high-speed capability and long-term durability

The Hankook Optimo H429 in 165/80R13 carries a Load Index of 83 (1,047 lbs per tire) and a T Speed Rating (up to 118 mph), making it well-suited for compact cars, economy sedans, and small hatchbacks. With Raised White Letter (RWL) sidewall styling, it also adds a classic visual touch to any application.
