This year, the tire world is celebrating the 80th anniversary of one of its big players, Hankook Tire Manufacturing. Its name may sound English, but it’s actually a South Korean company that started out in 1941 as Chosun Tire. Since then, the company has become one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world.
It also produces a host of other automotive parts such as batteries and brake pads. Have you ever owned a Hankook tire? Maybe these three suggestions will help you discover them!
Stable ride with the Hankook Winter I-Pike RS W419
This holiday season, we have to start our discovery with a winter tire that can make your celebrations even safer! The Winter I-Pike RS W419 are designed for all types of vehicles, from sedans to light trucks. They offer impressive performance for their class, thanks to Hankook’s Husky groove technology.
The tread is even more grippy because of its tread pattern designed to mimic the footprint of a Siberian husky. The 3D raised edges act like a dog’s claws to grip snowy roads even more firmly. The result is a very grippy tire that provides traction and extreme stability on all road surfaces.
All the luxury of the Hankook DYNAPRO HP2 RA33
If you own a luxury SUV, the DYNAPRO HP2 RA33 is probably the tire for you! Quebec drivers beware, though. These are all-season tires that are not allowed in winter! For the rest of Canada, on the other hand, they will do very well if you can’t get specialized tires.
What makes them suitable for high-end vehicles is their pleasant and, above all, extremely responsive driving experience. Even at high speeds, they maintain their very low rolling and hydroplaning resistance, while continuing to absorb shock for the quietest ride possible.
Hankook I-CEPT EVO2 SUV W320A, for your SUV
Personally, I have a hard time recommending all-season tires for the entire winter season! After all, why settle for adequate when you could have the best? With the I-CEPT EVO2 SUV W320A installed on your SUV or all-wheel drive vehicle, you will feel the difference!
Their tread is especially stiff, which makes them even more maneuverable in cold temperatures. This toughness also helps extend the life of the tire, as well as even out the wear of the rubber. The tread pattern was also designed to meet an important need. In fact, its wide grooves are super efficient at evacuating water!
