Hankook Smart Flex AH51

The ribbed center tread area maintains surface contact, boosting steering responsiveness and driving stability. On the other hand, the shoulder details provide additional biting edges, which greatly improve the tire's cornering. The groove and sipe placement create friction when braking, significantly shortening the tire's stopping distance. These enhancements allow the tire's secured handling and maneuvering at all times.

The ideal tread pattern and the all season compound enhance the tire's dry, wet, and winter-weather grip. In this manner, the optimized tread design closely follows the road at all times, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. Circumferntial grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint, in order to resist hydroplaning.

The ideal tread design works with the durable compound to effectively provide slow and even wear. Footprint stability maintains surface contact and helps prevent tread flexing. As a result, the tire avoids irregular wear by preventing pressure accumulation along the tread area. On the other hand, strong compound elements offer wear resistance, decreasing the treadwear rate. The combination greatly boosts the tire's overall tread life length.

The optimized tread pattern and the optional compound blend decrease the tire's overall rolling resistance. This is the pressure that determines the vehicle's energy usage needed to keep the tires in motion. It reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, offering a fuel-conscious drive.

Load durability is an important feature that the tire structure offers. The strengthened internal structure is able to withstand and carry larger loads with ease. As the tire keeps its optimal shape, it can safely handle larger loads. This increases the tire's better load capacity.
