This is that rare winter/snow car tire that earns Excellent ratings for snow and ice handling and braking but also earns Excellent ratings for low rolling resistance, which can aid fuel economy. In addition, it’s also near the top of the index for ride comfort and is relatively quiet for a winter/snow tire.

Top 3 Hankook Winter I cept iZ2 W616 Reviews

Given 81% while driving a Honda Civic FK7 Sport (235/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 1,500 average miles

I'd say that tires are balanced mostly for driving on clean city roads and subjectively not noisy. They have a good grip at dry surface, wet is also fine on average driving but they are slippy if you try to drive aggresively. I had a good driving experience on wet and snovy roads but grip on ice is very poor. The best thing is that i found them informative, you can feel the type of surface you driving. This helps on ice and wet to identify the surface and adapt driving to appropriate conditions. Overall tires left a good impression on me.

Given 86% while driving a BMW 435d (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles

Very nice feeling driving long distances. Comfort and steadiness is excellent. Superb grip on snow, a bit edgy when on the limit on ice. Priceworthy tires without a doubt!
