Hankook iON i*cept SUV. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; Fuel-efficient traction; Comfortable performance; Winter-weather traction; . OVERVIEW: The Hankook iON i*cept SUV is a performance, winter tire made for SUVs.Great fuel economy is offered by lowering the rolling resistance. The fuel-saving compound and the optimized tread design decrease the rolling resistance with better traction. The rolling resistance is the pressure that determines the vehicle's fuel consumption necessary to keep the tires in motion. This boosts optimal fuel efficiency by lowering the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The result is a fuel-conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.The optimal tread design and the flat footprint allow the tire to increase the surface contact throughout the performance. Excellent road contact allows the tire to optimize its performance. The symmetric tread design, as a result, manages to increase its steering responsiveness and driving stability. Optimizing the tread elements effectively enhances its cornering and braking abilities, with the ideal tread elements. These improvements ensure the tire's exceptional driving safety levels.The optimized pattern and the winter compound increase the tire's winter traction. This tread pattern maintains road contact at all times, while the winter compound keeps the rubber pliable in cold temperatures. They work together to upgrade the tire's performance on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. At the same time, the optimal grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint and resist hydroplaning. These elements help the tire to safely perform in winter conditions.This Hankook iON i*cept SUV provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The optimal tread design channels airwaves through the footprint, making sure they do not come into contact with the tread elements. As a result, the tire avoids sound wave formations. The tire prevents sound waves from reaching the passengers and ruining their driving enjoyment. Better comfort levels promote a quiet driving experience.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
