Product description & features
Hankook have designed the Vantra ST AS2 RA30 to deliver a reliable van performance.
It has been designed to feature sipes of the best possible length within the tread pattern, to guarantee enhanced grip in all weathers - especially winter conditions. As well as this, Hankook include ‘Chamfer sipes’ within the tread design to broaden the contact surface of the tyre to road in order to improve handling. With a wide steel belt layer deigned within the tyre, Hankook ensure that the Vantra ST AS2 RA30 has optimal tread stiffness which also helps to improve handling.
To prevent the risk of aquaplaning, the Vantra ST AS2 RA30 has been designed with open shoulders as well as three broad grooves to rapidly remove water from the tyre - also improving wet grip performance.
What is an all season tyre
Designed to cope with all sorts of conditions – with a good performance delivered throughout the year. A moderate natural rubber content is used to stop the tyre hardening in temperatures below 7 degrees.
How can I tell an all season tyre performs in winter weather?
This tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:
This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.
Are all season tyres suitable for the UK?
Given that the UK suffers from milder and interchangeable winter conditions - with severe ice and snow becoming uncommon for much of the country - this makes all season tyres a very good choice for our roads. As they can cope with these conditions very well.
Do I need to swap my tyres throughout the year?
Given the nature of all season tyres, which can perform equally well in the summer and winter months, the need to replace tyres based on the season is not required.
We recommend that all season tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
