Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 175/65 R14 86T by Micha Osiski ᠌

Because of damage to one of the wheels that was deemed "non-repairable," I decided to swap from the Pirelli Ice Zero to this other type of rubber. The Pirelli Ice Zero did not make it to the fifth season of competition. The kit was the lone source of the replacement, as logic would dictate. I was able to evaluate new tires with a reasonable degree of objectivity in comparison to the old ones because we changed them during the middle of the winter when it was quite cold outside. I made up my mind to give a promising new product a shot after reading a number of reviews and evaluations that had been published in "authoritative" sources. Instantaneously, I felt a pang of disappointment. And this, despite the fact that I replaced my old tires with brand-new ones rather than using the ones that were five years old. On the Hankook tires, I had to maintain an extremely firm grip on the steering wheel at all times. Whereas on the Pirelli tires I could only use one finger to do so. Stability in the exchange rate is lacking to an extent that is a bit less than complete. You are tense as you sit there, and you have a tight grip on the steering wheel. On the ring, laying the standard turn, she came dangerously close to flying into a snowdrift as a result of an unexpected and sudden demolition. It is still manageable in urban settings, but the track is most certainly not the place for this rubber. Whereas Pirelli permitted speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour, on Hankuk, the urge of self-preservation started to become active as early as 80 kilometers per hour. I have a request for people who are getting ready to publish something moralizing about the choice of speed restrictions in the winter: please keep it to yourself. I have a sufficient amount of experience to be able to feel the line between what the road conditions, weather, vehicle, tires, and ultimately, allow, and what they do not allow. It is possible to manage ice and compacted snow. The quality of the porridge is below par. The icy asphalt should be avoided. The ice that forms under a little covering of snow is hazardous. The asphalt should not be dry. I'm going to sweeten this keg of tar with a tablespoon of honey. In heavy snow Hankook shocked. This time, in a positive sense. It's possible that this rubber is the most usable I've ever encountered. Even the infamous "rogue" Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic tires, which are used on two other vehicles, one of which is an all-wheel drive vehicle, are considered to be subjectively inferior. The end of winter was marked by snowfalls, and opportunities to put Hankuk to the test in real-world scenarios presented themselves on multiple occasions. Tires are excellent for use in a small town or hamlet that has snowy roads and low speeds because of their traction.
