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

While the rubber itself is pliable and performs admirably on ice and packed snow, the safety of the driver is called into question as soon as the spikes begin to fly out. The pluses: T. Avensis, Korea 195, 65, 15. The tread looks fascinating, the rubber is soft, the tire won't freeze in the winter, and the brakes and grip are quite well balanced. Inadverse aspects: The string is so frail that you can rip it in half with the pressure of two fingers on asphalt; during the second growing season, the spikes had gladly and confidently abandoned their places; they hung out of the frame like—well, you know what’s in the washbasin. The front tires appear to be lower on the rolled vehicle, making overtaking and driving in ruts a dangerous experience for both driver and vehicle. The roll appears to have occurred as a result of a thin cable.
