Hankook winter tyres to explore:

For passenger cars, the i’cept range of tyres is packed with impressive features. The Evo model, for example, is fashioned after the pattern of a polar bear’s pawprint. It maximises performance in the wet, the dry and the snow, with an advanced silica compound and asymmetrical patterning for ultimate versatility. Or there’s the RS, which is designed for even and continuous traction along with low rolling resistance to give you more miles to the gallon.

For van drivers, the RW06 is constructed from silica compounds primed to deliver stability even on snowy or slushy surfaces. There are also state-of-the-art tie-bars to stabilise alignment so you get precise handling performance even on the snow and ice. SUV drivers can experience the I’cept Evo2 SUV, which is designed to ‘bite’ into the snow for superior traction performance and a comfortable, safe ride when the weather gets extreme.
