Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 205/50 R17 93T by Michal Wjcik ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

Gentlemen, in the main! Took Korean production! Size 205/60 R16. Bridgestone Velcro tires came with the car; they had decent wear but had already exceeded their 5-year lifespan. Since the car and the lives of loved ones are more valuable than rubber, I decided not to risk my luck after my third lucky break and changed tires without hesitation. I put in 1200 miles on it at a maximum of 80 km/h, with no issues with the engine, the transmission, or the brakes. Then he got on his bike and rode furiously, but not recklessly (losing some cash along the way). What I appreciated most was how confidently it carried out its expected actions. In the beginning, I was hesitant to enter the yards while wearing porridge, but after a few sessions, I noticed that she was rowing the correct direction. Concurrently, I have a 15-centimeter clearance and an automatic transmission. Even though it spent the entire winter in the trunk, the shovel was never used. The lack of significant star departures during the season was the biggest shock to me. All four cylinders have spikes, at a rate of 100%. Maybe it's because he broke in with just the right amount of subtlety. I logged 18,000 kilometers on the road this season. When driving around the city for a while following the route, I noticed increased noise, but it was still within the normal range; the spikes seemed to bulge out at higher speeds and then settle down again. It maintains a cruising speed of about 140 km/h (varies by vehicle) on the highway. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase; compared to recognized manufacturers, it just loses out on pricing (but not quality), and that's not a big deal for me. Previously, I had been driving a brand-new hakapelite 7, but I recently parted ways with it. There was also a Nordman 4, which is good rubber but has a soft sidewall and hence floats in turns. I also borrowed a brand-new Viatti from a friend for a few weeks; her car's only real advantage is its affordable pricing. Despite the lack of feedback at the time, I do not regret participating. As a historical marker, the price of a single bottle in the fall of 2022 was $4,400. Please recall that 205/60 R16 is the correct size.

Pros
  • Absolutely, I enjoyed it everything. Most notably, not a single spike was lost all season long; congratulations, friends, you have set a new record! Gorgeous art, but it was totally expected. Snow-covered rows in the yard. Discs are shielded by a chipper, which is available.
Cons
  • No drawbacks can be found.

Has some pros: No noise / Rows great / Spikes as long as everything is in place. Has cons: Very frustrated with side drift on corners.
