It is important to know

Before purchasing winter tires HANKOOK Winter i*cept evo 4 SUV W340A in size 235/55R19 105V XL, it is crucial to consider whether the selected model meets the real needs of your vehicle and the typical winter conditions you encounter. The most important factors for long-term satisfaction are the appropriate dimensions, load index, and balance of properties depending on the type and volume of driving. The right choice of tires is not always the most obvious from the technical data, so pay attention to the less visible compromises.

• For SUVs and heavier vehicles, an appropriate load index is essential; products with a 105V XL profile meet this requirement, but always check the suitability according to your vehicle's homologation.
• Wet grip ratings and performance in more challenging snow conditions have a major impact on safety and the feeling of control – especially important if you frequently drive on the motorway or in hilly areas.
• Price is not the only criterion; if you drive a lot of miles or often drive in unpredictable winter conditions, you should also focus on the quality of grip and performance in different conditions.
• When changing tires, we recommend purchasing a set of four new tires of the same model to ensure balanced vehicle behavior.
