Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 215/50 R17 95T by Petar Mihalev ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, more pros than cons.

I'm using rubber with a size of 215.502022. It made noise for the first 100 kilometers after I put the tires on, but as I rolled it in, the noise stopped. I rolled it out at a speed of 80 to 90 mph on country roads where they almost didn't clear the snow, and I've already covered three kilometers on it. Due to the soft rubber and small size of the spikes, they are completely silent when driving at high speeds. The automobile calmly exits the snowdrifts. Driving through snow at a pace faster than the flow is safe. The tires roll in the corners, therefore it is best to reduce speed slightly. Although I can compare it to the bridge rubber ws60, I didn't enjoy the brakes on ice all that much. You can have the rubber; it's not horrible. I even considered buying some for a backup vehicle for the upcoming winter.

Pros
  • 1) The cost is not the most expensive. 2) The spikes' noise level is moderate 3) rides really nicely in the snow 4) Good braking on "porridge" and asphalt
Cons
  • The entry to the booties is made of slightly pliable rubber for braking on ice.
