Hankook Zovac HP W401 Tire Review & Rating

Last modified Jun. 18, 2018 by Tire Reviews And More

For drivers needing a winter tire for a smaller vehicle, the Zovac HP W401 from Hankook is engineered with you in mind. Designed especially for small coupes and compacts, the W401 is big on winter road performance while being small on price.

The winter tread compound combines with zig-zag multi kerfs and unique tread blocks that work together to maximize grip on snow or icy road surfaces. The W401 is a studdable design, and Hankook has increased the stud pin count and optimized the three row arrangement for drivers who wish to use studs and maximize traction.

Larger tread blocks around the tire provide enhanced handling on all types of road surfaces, including dry cold pavement. The steering is responsive and the tire’s shoulder block design increases stability in winter weather conditions.

Hankook uses a computer-optimized tread block pitch to reduce outside road noise and give the tire a more quiet ride. A deeper tread depth further increases tread life and provides outstanding value for the money. Hankook has sizes available from 12-14 inches on the Zovac HP.

Pros

Long lasting treadlife
Excellent value for the money

Cons

Can be a little noisy on dry roads

Overall Thoughts

This tire is ideal for smaller vehicles that are often hard to find snow tires for. Traction in light to deep snow, ice and other winter weather conditions is very good, and because it is a studdable design, you can add studs if necessary to get the most traction out of the tire as possible.

This model also provides good steering feel and goes where its pointed. In addition, you can expect a long lasting treadlife. Overall, the W401 gives solid value and performance for the lower cost.
