Hankook Winter i*cept iZ2 W616 ( 175/65 R14 86T XL, Nordiske vinterdekk SBL )

## Hankook Winter i*cept iZ2 W616 ### Advanced Studless Winter Performance ed for confidence in harsh winter conditions, the Hankook Winter i*cept iZ2 W616 delivers reliable traction on snow and ice without the need for studs. Its directional tread pattern enhances grip through increased biting edges and optimized snow contact, making it a strong choice for drivers facing frequent winter storms. ### Enhanced Tread for Winter Grip The tread features an advanced array of pitch variations and zigzag siping that actively bite into snow, improving forward motion and stability. A reinforced center rib and ‘Z’ grip shoulder blocks ensure even pressure distribution and sharper handling on slippery surfaces. These structural elements work together to maintain control during cornering and sudden maneuvers. Increased groove edge length—up 15% laterally and 23% longitudinally—boosts the number of active edges engaging with ice and packed snow. The V-shaped grooves efficiently channel slush and water away, reducing hydroplaning risk and supporting consistent wet-weather performance. ### Durable, Responsive Internal Structure Built with a high-grip silica compound, this tire maintains flexibility in freezing temperatures while promoting even wear and reduced rolling resistance. The jointless full cover belt and wide steel layer provide dimensional stability at speed, enhancing steering precision. A robust bead construction with high-hardness filler and ultra-strong bead wire ensures secure fitment and long-term durability. This tire is ideal for drivers seeking dependable winter performance with balanced comfort, longevity, and safety across snow, ice, and wet roads.
