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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

Before taking this model, I went to the same previous generation for 7 winters. Satisfied. Soft. The pins are all in place. They don't get stuck quickly. On an ice skating rink you will get out of a skid, you will climb an ice hill and on a snowy, uncleaned track at 100 km / h you will calmly overtake the passing ones. At -25 C they remained soft, it was not possible to experience colder. Snowdrifts dig perfectly, the car crawls on its belly. Rutting is not very good, there is an illusion that it becomes slippery, but for studded tires this is normal. I got into pits at speed - there were no defects, both on these and on the previous first generation. Almost all winter tires are noisy and braking on ice is mediocre, so I don't focus on that much. On dry pavement - normal. My summary: more suitable for those who travel outside the city. Front-wheel drive car, tire size 195/70 R14.

Pros
  • Predictable handling on both snowy and icy roads. Acceptable cost. Do not tan in severe frost.
Cons
  • Didn't reveal.
