Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 185/65 R15 92T by Micha Sarnowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

In general, guys! Took Made in Korea! Size 205/60 R16. I got bridgestone Velcro with the car, the tread was good, but the life of these tires has already exceeded 5 years. After the third lucky break (when I was lucky three times!) I decided not to test my luck and change tires without hesitation, since the car and the lives of loved ones are more expensive than rubber. I ran it for 1200 kilometers, smooth acceleration, smooth braking, smooth maneuvers on the highway, speed no more than 80 km. H. Then he began to ride as always, aggressively, but in moderation (not all the money). What I really liked is that it behaves very predictably confidently. I always went out in the yards in porridge, at first I went into the yards with caution, but after practice I realized she was rowing the right way. At the same time. that the clearance I have 15cm. and automatic transmission. There was a shovel in the trunk, but it never came in handy all winter. What surprised me the most was the lack of stud losses at all for the entire season. 100% presence of spikes on all 4 cylinders. Perhaps this is because he carried out the correct gentle break-in. During the season I drove 18 thousand km. I noticed that after the route, for some time, when driving around the city, increased noise is noticed, but then again the noise is within the normal range, the spikes seem to start to bulge out at higher speeds and then sit down again. On the highway, it keeps a speed of 140 km. H well. cruising speed (depends on the car of course). In general, I am very satisfied with the purchase, it is inferior to branded manufacturers only in price (cheaper), in terms of other indicators it is no worse. Before that, I drove a new hakapelite 7, sold it along with the car. There was also a Nordman 4, which is also good rubber, but the sidewall is soft, it floats in corners. I also tried a new Viatti from a friend and took a car for a couple of weeks, she has one plus is the price . In general, I did not regret taking it, although at that time there were few reviews. For posterity, the cost of one bottle in the fall of 2022. was 4400. Let me remind you the size 205/60 R16

Pros
  • Yes, I liked everything. Especially the fact that not a single spike flew out during the season, this is a record, comrades! Beautiful drawing, predictable. Rows in snow-covered yards. There is a chipper, protects the discs.
Cons
  • There are no disadvantages.
