OVERVIEW
The Hankook RoadHandler is a touring all season tire model made for SUV and crossover vehicles. Hankook offers a 100,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The longer lasting tread life is the result of the combination of the tread pattern and the tire compound. The optimized footprint and special tread design equally spread the driving forces out across the tread area. This even distribution of the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering prevents irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread area. The tire compound is made to resist tread wear and slow down the tread wear rate significantly. The longer lasting tread and even wear ensure an extended tire usability and tread life.
The tire's internal structure improves its performing ability. The jointless full cover structure shortens the braking distance by constantly keeping the tire on the road. The high hardness bead filler enhances the high speed durability, which prevents the tire from deforming under the driving pressure. The lightweight belt upgrades the steering responsiveness. It maintains constant road contact, which makes the steering responsiveness quick and accurate, enabling the driver to confidently control the tire in all weather.
The lightweight belt also lowers the overall tire weight. This enables the tire to lessen its rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the force that determines how much energy the vehicle uses to keep the tires in motion. The reduced rolling resistance ensures decreased fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from the vehicle. This makes the tire very fuel and cost efficient and environmentally friendly.
The single strand bead wire increases the comfort levels and offers a quality ride. It makes the tire closely follow the road surface which ensures that no road vibrations will be felt in the vehicle's cabin. This makes the driving experience more comfortable. This internal structure also stabilizes the drive with the enhanced road contact, which makes its handling effortless.
Excellent all weather traction of the RoadHandler is guaranteed with the symmetric tread pattern's multi siping design that grips the road well in dry, wet and winter weather. The circumferential tread grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the tire footprint. This ensures that it is safe to use all year.
