Tyre characteristicsReinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
Special characteristicsMud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.Three-Peak Mountain SnowflakeThe mountain-and-snowflake symbol identifies a tyre that has passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. It is the recognised performance marking for winter conditions.
Speed indexThe speed index indicates the maximum approved speed.T (max. 190 km/h)
Load indexThe load index indicates the maximum load capacity per tyre.102 (max. 850 kg)
Fine-tuned directional pattern design for maximum studless safety even in the harshest winter conditions.

Footshape
Compound
Aqua edge grooves: directional V-shape design prevents hydro-planning by pushing water out effectively.
Increased pitch numbers: bites into the snow improving the traction performance of the tires.
Grip in step: prevents snow accumulating while braking or accelerating on ice.
Rainforced sidewall and bead section improves cornering grip and handling performance.
Footprint pressure is equally applied compared with conventional tires. This increases the braking and traction performance on icy roads.
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.
Ice-philic technology: better grip on icy and snowy roads. Optimized soft compound maximizes contact area.
Reduced Tg control: Tg compound improves braking performance and delivers better grip in the snow by increasing the contact area.
Zigzag traction: improves snow traction and delivers superb braking and handling performance on ice.
Spiral boosters: efficient structure drains snow and water, ensuring maximized ice braking and enhanced acceleration.
Silica distribution: silica particles are evenly distributed to prevent the rubber compound becoming stiff in cold conditions.
Increased groove edge length: maximizes the effect of the sipe edge; lateral groove edge length: 15% increased; longitudinal groove edge length: 23% increased
What the tyre markings mean

Trusted Hankook quality
Decent grip dry and wet, but they took a few hundred km to feel bedded in.

Good in town and on the motorway alike. Versatile tyre. Holds well in snow and slush. Not the last word in steering feel.

Reliable winter rubber
Balanced and predictable. Exactly how a tyre should feel. Slightly firmer ride than I expected.

Good grip in the wet
Not the grippiest in hard cornering, but for normal driving they're more than adequate. Proper grip on packed snow, no wheelspin drama.
