Hankook Tires Optimo H426 195/55R16 87V BSW

A quiet drive, excellent performance, fuel efficiency, and low noise are all the hallmarks of a great tire. Unfortunately, not many tire manufacturers cater to the specific needs of an all-season tire that covers each of these categories. The Hankook Optimo H426 demonstrates all of these and more, making it a great passenger tire, one that allows you to experience the construction of a GT tire in a passenger model. A computer-optimized profile allows for better traction handling in both wet and dry conditions. Four concurrent circumferential grooves make water channeling much more efficient, reducing the chance of hydroplaning on any surface. The rib-type shoulder block adds to this water-evacuation efficiency. The diamond shape block design caters to wet surfaces while giving solid grip during driving on drier surfaces. A comfortable tire comes from its interaction with the road surface. Two wide steel belts make up the underlying structure of the tire, allowing for better handling and more precise cornering. The base tread compound helps to absorb the shock from the road surface more efficiently. High-stiffness bead filler gives you a better steering response and increases the handling. Offering a good balance between wet and dry driving conditions, the Optimo H426 is unique in the passenger tire market.
