Product description

  • Winter tyre for city and compact cars.
  • Optimum traction on winter roads.
  • Enhanced grip on snow covered roads.

Winter tyre for city and compact cars, the Hankook Winter i*cept RS W442 can safely tackle winter driving conditions.

Safety. The staggered arrangement of tread blocks significantly improves road holding in snow and slush.  The silica tread compound delivers more braking power and extra grip.  The V-tread and four grooves quickly drain water away.

Traction.  The arrangement of 3D kerfs improves traction on slippery roads.  An increased number of kerfs improve snow traction.

What is the rezulteo score?

The rezulteo score is calculated considering three performance categories: economy, comfort and safety. When it comes to winter tyres, the performance criteria snow and ice are added. By weighting different basic performance criteria an overall score is determined. This weighting is calculated based on the tyre size category: economic, high performance or sports.
