Hankook Winter i*cept IZ3. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; Longer-lasting tread life; Winter weather traction; . OVERVIEW: The Hankook Winter i*cept IZ3 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Hankook offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The optimized pattern and the winter compound increase the tires winter traction. The tread pattern maintains close surface contact in winter, while the special compound keeps the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. These elements work together to boost traction on ice- and snow-covered roads. At the same time, the tread and the winter compound improve the tires performance in severe winter conditions. The optimized grooves prevent hydroplaning, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. These grooves protect the tire from slipping on wet roads.The tires maintained road contact enhances its controllability. The directional tread design maintains road contact at all times. It boosts the tires steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire improves the steering response time and accuracy to the drivers commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The tire increases its cornering power as well. The shoulder block pattern enhances the cornering and maneuvering capabilities. As a result, the tire greatly boosts the drivers control over the vehicle at all times.The Hankook Winter i*cept IZ3 guarantees extended service life. The optimized tire footprint spreads out driving pressure equally across the tread area. The even distribution of the forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking prevents irregular wear across the tread area. As a result, the ideal tread pattern is resistant to uneven tread wear as it increases the tires driving stability. The improved stability, the slower wearing tread, and the prevention of uneven wear combined extend the tires usability.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.
