Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 185/65 R15 92T by Wiktor Jak ᠌

Best price for this product, will buy more!

I took new tires for a Muscovite 2140. I chose according to reviews. At first, I carefully ran in, without sudden braking and no more than 70-80 km / h. On asphalt, the stopping distance is higher than on Velcro or summer (there are a lot of spikes). I was very impressed with the road grip on rolled snow, it slows down no worse than on asphalt. I often climbed in deep snow (example in the photo), I liked the cross-country ability. Departure for one season, mileage 15,000, all winter often went sideways into turns, both on asphalt and on snow, not a single spike flew out, everyone sits rigidly in their places. In terms of noise, I won’t say anything special, it’s not the right car to judge the noise of rubber)) but in comparison with Nordman 4 it’s much quieter and more pleasant. The only thing I can say is that on a snow-covered track you can’t hear the spikes at all, even on a Muscovite it becomes very quiet. In spring, it goes very well on loose snow and mud. The set took for 11k. Worth your money. The photo shows the state of the rubber by the end of the season (sorry for the self-tapping screw).

Pros
  • Nice soft rubber. It rows perfectly on fresh and loose snow, feels confident on ice. The spikes don't fly out. Good grip on packed snow.
Cons
  • It slips on snow porridge, but perhaps due to the fact that it is narrow (175/70/13), but this is more of a nitpick, not critical.
