Description

The Winter i*cept RS3 was specially developed for compact and mid-size cars. Thanks to the optimized block stiffness and improved ice traction, driving on icy roads becomes safer. A water drainage notch and a water and slush groove reduce the risk of aquaplaning. The new W-shaped tread with inclined tread blocks guarantees better steering control in the rain and the 3D winter sipes reduce braking distances. Thanks to the optimized rubber compound, wear is lower and the new construction achieves improved road contact. This means you can drive safely through the cold season.

    Worth the money

    My mechanic recommended Hankook and he was right. Quiet, stable, no complaints. Felt secure on icy morning roads.

    Okay for everyday driving

    Comfortable over rough surfaces. My old set used to thump over every bump. Would recommend to anyone after a dependable winter tyre without overspending. Holds well in snow and slush. Nothing fancy, but fair for the price.

    Good all-rounder

    Grip in corners is reassuring and the steering feels a bit sharper than before. Felt secure on icy morning roads.

    Pleasantly surprised

    For this price I didn't expect much, but the Winter i*cept RS3 W462 genuinely surprised me. Proper grip on packed snow, no wheelspin drama.

    Recommended

    Wet braking is excellent. Gave me real confidence on a flooded motorway stretch. Fuel consumption seems slightly better since the switch. Felt secure on icy morning roads.

    Solid choice

    Steering response improved straight away after fitting. Very pleased.
