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

Size 205/60 R16. In this price range, I thought about three different options: the Nordman 7, the NordFrost200, and the Winter i * Pike RS2. Therefore, using the exceptions approach, I decided on the latter. Winter i * Pike RS2 was paid into performing nearly as well as Nokian and Conti in tests conducted by reputable automobile periodicals. Only in ContiIceContact 2 does the second vehicle have tires, allowing for direct comparison. The spike's five-pointed star shape and the close spacing of its studs were the first details that drew my attention. Although I had prepared myself for the sound of "nails" rustling, the tires were surprisingly silent. I also noticed an immediate improvement in driving comfort compared to when I was using summer wheels. Paddling in the deep snow is a blast. Even though I frequently parked in snowdrifts this winter, I never got trapped. I haven't noticed any difference in grip or vehicle behavior when using Conti tires in the snow. I'm just as confident in my ability to reconstruct through snow porridge lanes as I am to force snow porridge. On ice, I can't tell the difference between Conti and everyone else. The toe is as elaborate and elaborately studded as one would want for. You won't have any trouble keeping control, and drifting or skidding is easy and predictable. The experience is similar to that of previous generations of Hakkapelites when walking on dry pavement. Compared to Nokian and Hankook, Conti performs better. The Winter i*Pike RS2 floats a touch before its competition when applying the brakes hard. The perfect rigidity of the sidewall, however, almost eliminates lateral accumulation and roll. The benefits of ContiIceContact 2 become more apparent on damp pavement. Hankook gives up noticeably sooner, as he actively resists being towed. It's preferable to leave yourself enough room in case you need to brake suddenly. Wet roads are not uncomfortable if you don't "turn off your head" when driving. The performance on asphalt is generally excellent, especially for a rubber of Scandinavian origin that was developed for use during hard winters. Annual mileage is 4,000 kilometers, and annual spike loss is zero. Happy with the acquisition.
