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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

I took it on a grant, drove somewhere around 1 thousand km. Of course, there are not enough stars from the sky, a solid 4 with a minus. Better than most on clean ice, brakes especially well. But he is very afraid of snow and ruts, he has already driven sideways on a grant a couple of times. There are no problems rebuilding through the snow divider, but it’s not even worth maneuvering, it also swims terribly in the yards in the snow. There is not much noise, the pins sit very deep, which disappointed me greatly when I took the rubber. The rumble starts at about 130. Soft, talks a little on the track, they have a liquid sidewall. In general, far from goodyear ice arctic, but better than kama euro, yokagama, breeches and everything that is not premium like khaki. If there is no budget for the best, the choice is excellent. After the demolition, the car is easy to return, if you do not drive, and in general everything is super. And do not forget the dimension and the car, the same rubber can behave differently on different sizes and cars. for example, the ekagama f700z at 185,55,16 on a Lacetti rides much more confidently than on a Mazda 6 205.552022

Pros
  • 1) Price! Only 2700 for a 175/65/14 wheel. 2) Good on ice without snow. Slows down the fire! And if perfectly clean ice without snow, and ruts, then you can very famously enter the turn, it rustles but holds. 3) Very quiet, but the spikes sit deep. Good tire, better for the price.
Cons
  • 1) Track! Be careful. 2) Soft sidewall on a high profile. 3) It doesn't matter in the snow, especially in corners.
