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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Delivered October 20, mileage 2500 on them, I think it's normal for a recall. Car - Kia Rio X-line. So, in order: 1. Asphalt - quite worthy, there is a little lack of lateral grip, rutting on the track is not felt, as some write (size 205/55 R16), they hold the road well at speed, they do not scour. Noise at 120 km / h is quite low - 75-78 dB, you can safely talk. 2. Ice - very good, here the spikes work out at 100%, braking and drifts are predictable. 3. Snow - very good, acceleration with virtually no slippage, confident braking, holding corners to the last. On the track, when rebuilding through a snowy parapet, the course does not change, the car does not wear. 4. Noise - depends on the surface - on very smooth pavement they make noise, like all others, due to the spikes and tread features of winter tires. On a rougher one - very good, almost like summer. 5. Comfort - good. I think if you keep 2 atmospheres, it will be absolutely fine, but roll will start in corners. I pump 2.4 in front and 2.2 in the back, and even at this pressure it is softer than summer. Thank you for your attention.

Pros
  • Price, softness, confidence on a snowy road, low noise level.
Cons
  • Not very confident cornering on asphalt, especially wet.
