Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 215/50 R17 95T by Micha Bukowski (Pax) ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not exactly the product that I wanted, the price and quality do not match.

Very weak. Since I make my living as a driver, I have a basis on which to evaluate the performance of these tires in real-world situations. Hankook intentionally messed up by releasing shoddy goods on the market in order to generate as much negative publicity and financial gain as possible. After the first one hundred kilometers, the points of the spikes are no longer sharp. Although it's possible that someone will argue that it helps preserve the asphalt, you should still be able to use the spikes. Dumb spikes don't work. They don't move at all, and no one has any concerns about them, but in contrast to the spikes on other brands, both expensive and inexpensive, these ones are perfectly smooth to the touch.

Pros
  • Good control and a reasonable amount of sidewall strength.
Cons
  • blunt spines

for 2 years, only once I had to push the car, and then I sat right in the ice with porridge and water and earth mixed
