Top 3 Hankook Winter i cept evo3 Reviews
When it comes to drawbacks: these wore out faster than I had anticipated. Four winters and 34k km on Eastern European roads killed them. There were harsh use conditions though and a slight rim-damage accident (undiagnosed for a couple of months) could have also impacted their lifespan. The Hankooks are not the quietest or most comfortable, but I don't really care for that in a hot hatch. Nothing negatively outside of the norm in my opinion, but nothing spectacular in this regard either.

Latest Hankook Winter i cept evo3 Reviews
But: its clearly lauder than my summer tyres, i hope after a while it gets better
The weather conditions were wet and dry below 10 deg Celsius, but no snow or ice.
At highway speeds the tyres had a good comfort and low noise. The braking distance was decent.
In the city, the tyres had excellent behaviour filtering the bumps and roughness of the surface very well.
On twisted roads is the place where these tyres shine. Their grip is excellent both on wet and dry, the road feedback is very good and the noise is practically null.
They are great in the wet as well as in the dry...maybe they are a little noisier..but I'm used to winter tires "buzzing" a bit.
p.s.
I'll update the review when I try them on snow and ice.
PS: anvelopele din poza si poza cu masina in zapada sunt in aceeasi perioada maxim 2 saptamani diferenta si cu toate astea in stadiul in care era anvelopa tot mergea si pe uscat ud excelent si pe zapada mai slab
Drumuri bune !!!
Due to circumstances, I also drove for a few days in dry and sunny weather (20°C) and even then I was impressed by this tyre. I will repurchase this one immediately!
It’s been two seasons now with three conditions being dry, then wet, then snow by the number of driving days. On dry roads to ride is comfortable with stable handling and the grip is assured and precise with on ramps, long and medium corners. They lose some composure with sharp turning, and the braking takes a little longer than I’d like. This is probably the least inspiring aspect of all the parameters. Wet performance is very good, with turn and corners being very assured. And the wet braking feels better in the wet than the dry? Not sure how but that’s the way it feels. The best part now… The snow is just a blast with these Hankooks. Very grippy whether braking, accelerating or turning the vehicle; this tire does it all in the snow.
After just under 10,000 km the tread looks unused, with more than 7mm across each tire.
