Hankook launches the Dynapro R213, a new soft compound gravel tyre, at this weekend's Safari Rally Kenya. This marks its debut on challenging gravel stages, responding to driver critiques about previous tyre performance. Hyundai's Thierry Neuville highlighted issues last year at the Acropolis Rally, stating the tyres weren't up to championship standards. Hankook has taken extensive driver feedback into account, aiming for improved performance and durability in harsh conditions. The new tyre features a revised construction and compound, promising a significant performance boost compared to the hard compound. Hankook's Steven Cho emphasizes the thorough development process, involving all three Rally1 teams. The Dynapro R213 will be available for all remaining gravel events this season, with a new hard compound tyre scheduled for Rally Portugal in May.
