Hankook Winter i Cept iZ2 W616
The Bottom Line
The Winter i Cept iZ2 W616 is best for drivers who value dry grip and handling in cold conditions, with a V speed rating for higher-speed capability. However, its lack of 3PMSF certification and lower wet grip score make it less suitable for areas with heavy snow or frequent rain.
Important Note
The lack of 3PMSF certification may disqualify it for drivers in regions with strict winter tire requirements.
Pros
- Dry grip score of 7.5 is solid for a winter tire, providing reliable performance on cold, dry roads.
- Handling score of 7.5 suggests a responsive feel that can be reassuring in variable winter conditions.
- V speed rating indicates capability for higher speeds, which is uncommon in winter tires and may appeal to performance-focused drivers.
Cons
- Lacks 3PMSF certification, which may be a concern for those needing verified snow performance.
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is below what you'd expect from a winter tire, potentially compromising safety in slushy or rainy conditions.
- The Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance+ SUV offers better wet performance, making it a stronger choice for mixed winter conditions.
