The Dynapro HPX distinguishes itself with its superior mileage and uniform tread wear, thanks to a newly developed material mix and an enlarged contact surface. This advanced design evenly distributes ground pressure, leading to longer tyre life and consistent performance. In terms of safety, the Dynapro HPX excels with improved braking and cornering adhesion, especially in wet conditions. The tyre’s innovative 3D GripControl sipes maintain their shape even under load, providing outstanding grip when it’s needed most.
The Dynapro HPX showcases its capabilities on wet surfaces, outperforming its predecessor, the Dynapro HP2. It delivers a 15% reduction in braking distance on wet roads and a 7% improvement in wet handling performance, making it a reliable option for challenging driving conditions.
Beyond safety and performance, the Dynapro HPX also prioritises comfort. Hankook has implemented knurling technology inside the tyre’s grooves, effectively reducing rolling noise by narrowing the air path without compromising the grooves’ performance. Additionally, the outer tread blocks have been optimised with varying sizes and numbers, ensuring smoother and quieter rolling behaviour, which enhances the overall driving experience.
“With the Dynapro HPX, we are presenting the newest member of our tyre family, which is specifically designed for the different requirements of SUVs and all-wheel-drive vehicles,” said Sanghoon Lee, President and COO of Hankook Tire Europe. “We are proud to be able to offer our customers a tyre with very high mileage, without any compromise on comfort and safety.”
The Dynapro HPX is tailored to meet the specific needs of the European and North American markets, offering reliable performance even in adverse weather conditions. Available in a range of standard sizes from 16 to 19 inches, the Dynapro HPX has been available at retailers since June 2024, ensuring that customers can equip their vehicles with this top-performing tyre.
