Hankook manufactures premium high-performance tyres for a wide range of vehicle categories from cars to trucks as well as for motorsport. Much of the development and production takes place in Europe for the European market, including original equipment for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and VW.
Experience the pinnacle of winter driving with the Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 W330. This tire is a true winter all-rounder, delivering not only outstanding control on snow but also enhanced performance on wet and dry roads during cold weather.
Innovative Traction Features
The newly designed ice-pick-shaped traction grooves significantly improve performance on snowy roads. The 3D winter sipes, with their jagged design, enhance braking capabilities under winter conditions while offering increased driving stability by minimizing block movements.
Advanced Water Drainage System
Featuring an Aqua Channel drainage system in the shoulder area, this tire optimizes water evacuation, enhancing wet road performance and reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
Enhanced Grip with Resin Compound
The tire's advanced resin compound maximizes grip on wet and snowy surfaces, utilizing highly refined resins for superior traction.
Durable Tire Construction
The improved silica compound boosts wet performance, ensuring the tire remains flexible across a wide temperature range thanks to the use of natural raw materials. The continuous steel belt layer increases tread stiffness, while the edge cover enhances steering performance.
Reinforced Structure for Stability
With an increased number of steel belt layers, the tire guarantees improved driving dynamics. The dual-layer fiber reinforcement ensures shape stability, and the introduction of a high-strength bead wire enhances overall tire stability.
Choose the Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 W330 for a reliable and secure driving experience in all winter conditions.
Optimal driving in all winter conditions
The perfect all-round winter tyre. Excellent control in the snow, impressive performance in wet and dry conditions, outstanding advanced ice grip and traction even in extremely low temperatures. A reliable and durable tyre, designed with advanced technology to adapt to all winter road conditions.
Snow Pick Traction Grooves The gull-wing shaped lateral grooves on the tyre kick out and expel the snow, ensuring impressive handling on snowy roads.
3D Winter Sipes The serrated winter sipes at the end of the tread improve braking performance on winter roads. This unique sipe provides enhanced driving stability and handling by minimising block movement.
Snow Pick Traction Grooves The water pipe kerf found on the inner side of the shoulder blocks improve ice and wet grip performance, by efficiently expelling the precipitation from the winter roads.
Aqua Pine Compound Maximising wet, ice and snow grip by using highly refined resin.
Tyre Structure
Advanced Silica Compound for Wet Performance The high loading silica compound increases the wet and dry performance of the tyre. The natural ingredients ensure flexibility throughout a wide range of temperatures.
Application of High Strength Steel Belt Wire The full cover of the high strength steel belt wire increases tread stiffness and tyre edge cover, to improve steering performance and ensure the tyre has full control of the winter roads.
Increase of Steel Belt Cords Additional steel belt cords improve the handling performance of the tyre, producing a firm grip on the winter roads.
Dual Layer Fibre Stiffener The dual structure of the carcass fibre stiffener increases the tyre's strength, resistance and reliability on the winter roads.
High Strength Bead Wire By increasing the binding force between the wheel and joint, the tyre is securely attached to the wheel, even throughout harsh winter road conditions, producing strong grip and traction on the road at all times.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.

B
