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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

acquired new. Use the entire first season and the first month of the second season. Excellent softness. Softer than some Velcro, it absorbs any minor road humps. Simply be joyful. This tire's quality is inferior to that of the Goodyear Ultragrip. It acts horribly while driving on asphalt (particularly wet asphalt) in temps approaching zero; substantially worse than Velcro on ice. Spikes started to fly out after operating for half a season. As a result, at the conclusion of the first season, studs were partially missing from the center of the drive axle tire. (Over the course of one season, I traveled around 5,000 km). In the second season, I made an effort to set up sea testing for her (when driving 50 mph through the city at night with the stabilization switched off, I made a quick shift to the left and half a turn with the steering wheel). Imagine my surprise when the vehicle tossed the rear axle and moved laterally like a rear-wheel-drive vehicle (the front drive unit remained in position; it was not going to deviate from the trajectory in any manner). I don't know how rubber will react in a snowy winter, but I certainly do not advise taking this skill in areas with warm winters. She was replaced by Bridgestone Blizzak. 1000 miles driven; good flying. Soft, predictable, and devoid of destruction. predictable handling, predictable braking, and body trembling. Without wiggles, tracks are alternated by all axles. In general, if you want to travel safely (in both the winter and the summer), don't cut corners on your tires. P.S. : I switch to winter tires and driving habits.

Pros
  • Ride and price
Cons
  • Handling, workmanship, and rubber rumble are all factors. I do not include rustling from studs because all shoes with studs rustle; the rubber itself buzzes.
