Ranked #5 of 10
Finished 5th out of 10 competitors, the Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 X W330A achieved a final rating of 'Very good.'

It excelled particularly in aquaplaning resistance (both cross and longitudinal), dry lane changing, steering response, price/value ratio, and snow braking and handling.
