    Hankook Tire & Technology-Tires-Winter I Cept-Winter I Cept IZ2-W616-Optimized directional pattern design for maximum studless safety even in the harshest winter conditions

    Optimized pattern design
    for improved ice and snow performance

    Increased pitch numbers

    Bites into the snow improving the traction performance of the tires.

    • Conventional
    • Winter I*Cept IZ²

    Increased groove edge length

    Maximizes the effect of the sipe edge.
    · Lateral groove edge length: 15% increased
    · Longitudinal groove edge length: 23% increased

    Optimized pattern design for improved ice and snow performance

    Ice and snow performance

    Ice-grip slits

    Angled sharp-edge slits improve braking grip in ice and snow.

    'Z' Grip shoulder block

    The ‘Z’ grip shoulder block disperses pressure equally on the shoulders edges.

    3-Dimensional Sipe

    The 3-Dimensional Sipe block provides superior control stability and minimizes block movement in all driving conditions.

    Ice and snow performance

    Snow and wet performance

    Spiral boosters

    Efficient structure drains snow and water, ensuring maximized ice braking and enhanced acceleration.

    Grip in step

    Prevents snow accumulating while braking or accelerating on ice.

    Aqua edge grooves

    Directional V-shape design prevents hydro-planning by pushing water out effectively.

    Zigzag traction

    Improves snow traction and provides excellent braking and handling performance on ice.

    • Dry handling performance

      Rainforced sidewall and bead section improves cornering grip and handling performance.

    • Footshape

      Footprint pressure is equally applied compared with conventional tires. This increases the braking and traction performance on icy roads.

    Compound

    Ice-philic technology

    Better grip on icy and snowy roads. Optimized soft compound maximizes contact area.

    Silica distribution

    Silica particles are evenly distributed to prevent the rubber compound becoming stiff in cold conditions.

    Lower Tg control

    Tg compound improves braking performance and provides better grip in the snow by increasing the contact area.
