Hankook Winter i cept XL Tire

The Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 (W330) is a studless winter tire for passenger cars. It is built for coupes, sedans, minivans, CUVs and SUVs, and it gives drivers dependable snow traction, wet-road grip and steering control in cold-weather driving. These XL (extra load) winter tires are for drivers who want confident braking and handling when temperatures drop.

Key Features:

• Winter Control Compound: Aqua pine technology and a high-silica compound keep the rubber flexible in cold temperatures. This helps braking and wet grip.
• 3D GripKontrol sipes: The zigzag block shape adds grip and control on snow, slush, ice and wet roads.
• Directional V-shaped tread: Wide lateral grooves and water pipe kerfs in the shoulder blocks move water, slush and melting snow out of the tire. This reduces the risk of hydroplaning.
• Snow pick traction grooves: These improve traction and braking on snow-covered roads.
• Wide outer shoulder block: Puts more rubber on the road for better stability, handling and steering response.
• Dual-structure carcass: A stiff carcass adds strength and durability for longer tread life.
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) certified: Rated for use in severe snow conditions.

Winter tires like these are meant for cold-weather use and are not recommended when temperatures stay consistently above about 45°F. Fit a full set for balanced winter performance.
