  • Double the Advantage

    The Winter i*cept iON pushes the limits of trade-offs to reach optimum performance. The Winter i*cept iON is specifically tailored for electric vehicles, but also equipped with the best of both worlds.

HANDLE THE WINTER

Advanced Handling In Winter Conditions

The Winter i*cept iON is engineered and designed to bear the high torque power of Electric Vehicles and to provide accurate handling to keep you safe in all road hazards in Winter.

Enhanced Cornering Stability

EV Contour Technology
Tire stiffness is essential to be improved to bear the weight of electric vehicles. Hankook’s EV Contour Technology increases cornering stiffness by 7% to advance electric vehicle handling performance.

Improved Snow Traction

Optimised Sipe Angles
The angles of sipes on the Winter i*cept iON are optimised to improve braking and traction on snow. The accuracy of sipe angles can significantly improve safety on snowy roads.

Superior Handling on Winter Roads

Diversified Sipes
The tread pattern rigidity is optimised by applying 2D sipes in the center and 3D sipes in the blocks surrounding. This allows the Winter i*cept iON to provide superior handling on all types of winter road surfaces.

Advanced Snow Performance secured, adding Reduced Rolling Resistance

EVolution Compound
Composed with high-concentration silica and eco-friendly materials, the EVolution compound provides satisfactory mileage and further reduced rolling resistance without missing snow performance.

Improved Wet Grip

Water Pipe Kerf
Water pipe kerfs are placed inside the shoulder blocks for water drainage from the main groove, which maximises grip on wet roads.

CHARGE LESS, CRUISE MORE

Extended Range

Hankook understands the concerns of loosing energy
while driving Electric Vehicles in winter.
By reducing the rolling resistance, the battery
lasts longer to drive a longer distance.
A few miles can be crucial during an emergency.

Further Reduced Rolling Resistance

Optimised Curing
The Winter i*cept iON achieved a decent grade in LRR performance by applying an advanced compound and Hankook tire’s optimised curing technology which improves all parts of the tire equally.

Aerodynamic Profile
The Aerodynamic profile of the Winter i*cept iON reduces air / rolling resistance, also noise.

DRIVE IN PEACE

Noise Proof Technology

Electric motors are almost soundliess which eventually causes the driver to hear more noise from tires. With Hankook Sound AbsorberTM, The Winter i*cept iON offers a quiet and pleasant ride in all speed ranges.

Minimised Tread Pattern Noise

V-Shaped Shifting Pattern
The Winter i*cept iON's V-shaped pattern spreads the road noise by the alternatively shifting inside and outside blocks during road contact which also provides additional snow traction.

Multi-Pitch Optimisation
Tire noise can be drastically reduced by optimising the pitch sequence. The Winter i*cept iON has optimised the number and size of pitches to listen more to what matters.

Minimised Cavity Noise

Knurling Technology
The Winter i*cept iON's knurling technology applied inside the grooves effectively reduces resonance noise during road contact by narrowing the air path, without losing the groove's intended features.

Noise Absorbing Material
By applying a noise absorbing material inside, cavity noise is reduced by up to 9dB.
