Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Cept iZ 2 W616 185/65 R15 92T by Micha Bialik (Eagle) ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The purchase is a failure, very unhappy.

You have to continually taxi on the highway since your brand-new tires, on which you have skated 5,000 kilometers (3,000 miles) since last November because of the dry pavement, do not hold their trajectory. Loses control erratically when fueled by oatmeal. Acceleration and deceleration are manageable, although cornering grip is compromised due to the loose snow. The presence of ice has no effect on velocity. For instance, I had to do a sharp 90-degree bend while traveling 15 km/h in the right lane in loose snow with the front and rear axles being demolished alternatively (no track) with three cars (a lanos, a kopeck, and an asx) passing me at a speed of 30 km/h. Slow progress, a slight incline, some rolled snow, starting over, stalling, and grinding. The vehicles in front of you stopped, turned around, and moved into the next lane. I'm going to have to call the company who made this rubber and ask, "What the.?" (Awaiting a reply) Having the all-season low-budget feel. Neither the consumption nor the noise load from the rubber have increased since the summer. Tipia, a Peugeot Partner.

Pros
  • Low-volume and energy-efficient.
Cons
  • Poor traction on slush, packed snow, and ice; erratic lateral stall. Dry pavement scouring.
