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

Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

I strongly suggest that you take into consideration the fact that the sidewall is soft; if the run is going to be on decent tracks, then you should use this rubber. The benefits of it include: You can't hear the rumbling on the highway, it's like it's quieter than the Bridge, it's driven by a C grade, but I'm not complaining about that at all. It handles well in slush and ice, and we have perfect control over the vehicle. Tires that are ideal for use in urban environments. Extremely hazardous for highways in rural areas. Having this drawback: People do write about the track, and it is true that the sidewall is really too soft, and it is very difficult to reconstruct. This is especially true for country roads where they don't clean the snow, and when there is just one track for two cars. You have to reduce your speed in order for the tire to finally slide off the track; this worked significantly better on the Bridge when it was done. It's possible that this is the lone drawback.
