Hankook has unveiled a new high-performance summer tyre for the ever thriving range of Sport Utility Vehicles. Developed mainly for on-road use, the Hankook Dynapro HP2 also meets the increased requirements for rolling resistance and rolling noise applicable in the SUV segment.<\/p>\n
Special value was placed on high wet grip and good comfort levels. The line-up of the pattern, which has been designed for both the original equipment and replacement markets, mainly covers sizes from 15 to 19 inches, many of which have XL markings for increased load-bearing capacity.<\/p>\n
The noise level of the Dynapro HP2 has been reduced by an average of four per cent compared with its predecessor, by means of kerfs in the shoulder blocks extended into the sidewall. This also has a positive effect on the overall ride comfort.<\/p>\n
Special attention was paid to the issue of driving safety during development of the Dynapro HP2. By using a full-silica tread compound combined with the tread design, which has been optimised in detail particularly on the block level, both the wet grip performance (eight per cent) and directional control have been significantly improved.<\/p>\n
Together with the wide belt package, the extra-wide contour design guarantees a very even distribution of ground pressure. This not only ensures significantly improved dry-braking properties (four per cent) but also optimises the handling properties overall and enhances the total tread life. The high-strength casing together with the sturdy tread centre rib guarantee precise handling and very good steering feedback even at higher speeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
