Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 215/50 R17 95T by Andrey Kunev ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

Although I drove very carefully (in a vehicle with four-wheel drive), there were almost no slippages, which leads me to believe that the cores of the spikes there are just three millimeters long. I rolled the spikes for thousands of three kilometers, and I ended up losing two spikes throughout the course of the winter. Although the tires are in excellent condition, I won't be able to use it for the upcoming season. Conclusion: I won't be purchasing such a model any more. With its positives being: It does not become brittle when exposed to cold temperatures, does not generate any noise, and after twenty thousand kilometers, there is practically no wear on the rubber itself. The disadvantages: And now we'll talk about the drawbacks that cancel out all of this tire's benefits. After the distance that was indicated, the cores of the spikes started to aggressively fall out (although the body of the core itself remained embedded in the rubber).
