Hankook Winter Icept W605 Winter Tyres

Hankook Winter Icept W605 - 145/70 R12 69Q 4PR - Winter Tyre 


Winter run safer better.
These tyres offer excellent replacement tyres in both urban and rural conditions on asphalt and dirt roads. Excellent traveling tyre on snow and ice, showed good traction, and braking performance. The rubber composition silica materials Silica gives tyre elasticity even at low temperatures and protects against snow on the slippery bends in the road.

Reasons to consider winter tyres:

1. Winter tyres are NOT SNOW TYRES
One of the most common reasons we hear as to why winter tyres aren't needed in the UK is because we don't get enough snow. Winter tyres are designed to be more effective than regular tyres in any temperature under 7c (44f) on any type of road. Cold weather tyres are designed with a larger percentage of silica in the compound which doesn't harden up as much as synthetic rubber in cold conditions.

2. Winter tyres really do work
Tested in icy conditions, from just 10mph the winter tyre stopped in 6.4 metres, while the summer tyre needed more than twice the distance to stop at over 14 metres. Imagine the difference from 30 mph.

3. Winter tyres are as comfortable as summer tyres
Yet another myth is a loss of ride comfort, or extra noise thanks to winter tyres. The truth is modern winter tyres are as every bit as comfortable as summer tyres, sometimes more so thanks to an increased profile.

4. Avoiding other people on the road
The number of accidents caused by wet conditions increases in winter by 267%. Give yourself a chance of avoiding someone else's incident by fitting winter tyres.

Dave Drew finishes 3rd overall!

A few words from our tame racing driver, Dave Drew;

Just completed the final rounds of the Mini Miglia Championship at Brands Hatch at the weekend, and have pleasure informing you that we started 5^th on the grid in difficult track conditions and after a hectic race, we pulled WIN number 2 of the season in front of the Sky TV cameras and an estimated 20,000 crowd.

Race 2 on Sunday we started 6^th on the grid and by turn 3 we were up to 2^nd position which we held for 13 laps, however had some traction loss out of clearways onto the home straight, and fell down the order to eventually come home in 5^th. This race was also televised on Sky and I will update you when they shall be broadcast.

The Final Championship position for the Mini Sport Miglia was 3^rd Overall, and we are so pleased with the results. We can always look back and say if only we didn’t have an exhaust problem at Pembrey and rear suspension failure at Cadwell Park, we could have possibly taken the Championship, but that’s motor racing!

I have a few bits and pieces that I have collected for you and shall send up next week, along with DVD of the Thruxton TV meeting win and some great posters etc. Finally massive thanks for your help & support in my Miglia campaign this year and hope that I have done Mini Sport proud of our joint achievements and television efforts. I have been the proudest driver in the Club, and thrilled to have Mini Sport advertised all over the car.

  

Kindest regards and thanks once again for a fantastic year.
