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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

I write all the pros and cons about the size 235/55 R17 103T, maybe in other sizes there will be other sensations. In general, you can take it, but be careful. With a better financial condition, of course I’ll buy a Continental or Nokian, because I’m used to them and in the north I choose only top tires. In general, this Hankook is also a top for this company. And the quality of these tires is being brought up to the level of the world's top three. Recently, a polygon was opened beyond the Arctic Circle in Finland, next to Nokian. Therefore, their winter disciplines will improve. In terms of wear resistance and resistance to spikes falling out, I can’t say anything. Perhaps closer to the summer I will add a review. While all the spikes are in place and erased. I'll add a review: These tires frighten with their behavior on the track at positive temperatures. Especially disgusting wet asphalt with porridge. The car chatters on the road. It pulls towards puddles or porridge, and even pulls it to the side. I did not expect such a trick. After one season of Hankook come on goodbye! I will buy one of the big three. Before them there were Nordman 7 - yes, they are not so tenacious on the ice, but they are stable everywhere. They behave the same way everywhere. There is no property imbalance.

Pros
  • 1. Price 2. Tire quality 3. Manufacture made in not ours 4. Excellent winter road holding 5. Rows well in snow and ice
Cons
  • 1. As soon as I put it on, it made a little noise. Then rolled up and became quieter. 2. On autumn asphalt - none. Valkaya, poorly managed. As soon as the temperatures returned to the winter norm, it became better. 3. A little floating on the track. 4. There is a sense of rut. 5. In the spring it turned into a pumpkin. I have never seen such disgusting behavior on wet pavement with porridge. This is the first tire that scares me with its imbalance of properties. Excellent in winter, and in autumn and spring - G
