One of the best premium winter tires
One of the best premium winter tyres at an affordable price. It is safe and pleasant to drive in both wet and dry conditions, and excels in snow. Very low noise (much less than the Bridgestone summer tyres I have on my car).
I can't comment on tread life yet as I've only had the tires about a month now, but in terms of wet and snow performance they're awesome. They're snow tires so of course they're going to have some road noise, but all in all these are decently quiet. I've owned a few different types of Hankook tires now and can honestly say I'd recommend them all.
Best tires I've had on a car highly recommend
This is a great tire, my second set.
Great value for winter tires, especially when you get about 10 real snows throughout the winter, but the rest of the time it is either plowed or dry. And when the pavement is dry you can still go around a corner without the tires feeling like marshmallows.
Bought these for my 2007 Porsche Cayman base in 225 and 245/45-18. Drove in two storms the first week, one was snow and the other was ice and snow. This is my 8th winter with this car in Northern New York driving in hills, on the highway and on back roads. These tires might be the best yet and the price was right. Definitely recommend.
I can't say much regarding w eaa ar on these tires yet. Haven't put more then 5 miles on them. They are very quiet for a winter tire and handle quite well in all conditions. I havent had a chance to try them in deep snow just a few light dusting of under a quarter inch. I will edit this post once I have had a chance to really test them out in some deep snow
They were ok. I drive a 2011 VW Jetta SEL. I live in VT on a very snowy, decently steap back road. 1st year, (last year @ $133/per tire (225/45/17)) was ok. Spun a bit on dirt roads with 3-4 inches of snow but made it home. Didnt even put 3k miles on my tires before changing and they're already junk on a dusting. Wouldnt reccomend if you want to keep for more than a season.
Tires look sporty and perform well in a variety of weather conditions. I can't comment on the tread life because they are fairly new.
Just had them for a couple of months but so far I'm happy with performance and I would buy again. They have done very well on ice and snow.. wet and dry performance are also very good. Only negative is increased tire noise.. but not that bad. Not noticable until over 40mph. Can't yet comment on longevity. Overall I feel it does everything well and snow and ice it does excellent.
Get technical:
The Winter i*cept evo2 (W320) from Hankook is a winter tire that's designed for use on sports cars, coupes, and sedans, and offers drivers excellent traction, braking, and handling capabilities in winter weather.
Features & Benefits
- Winter tread design
- Black sidewall
- Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified thanks to its ability to perform in severe snow conditions
- Built with wide shoulders that strengthen handling performance and grip
Ice, slush, snow, and lower temperatures hinder a tire's grip on the road, which can make driving more difficult than it needs to be. Fortunately, winter tires are designed to remain flexible in lower temperatures to provide consistent grip and performance, and that's exactly what the Winter icept evo2 (W320) from Hankook does for drivers of sports cars, coupes, and sedans. An optimized groove enhances traction on snow covered roads, and the Winter icept evo2 (W320)'s zigzag traction grooves strengthens traction and braking performance on snow covered roads. The Winter icept evo2 (W320) features two wide grooves within its tread that channel water out of the tire's contact patch to reduce the risk of hydroplaning, and a divided lateral shoulder block puts more rubber on the road for consistent cornering. Wide shoulders strengthen handling performance and grip, and the Winter icept evo2 (W320) is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified thanks to its ability to perform in severe snow conditions.
