Review on Hankook Tire Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 205/50 R17 93T by Wiktor Jakuta ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

Tires 215/50 R17, car 1600 kg, 4 w. I would definitely recommend tires! Compared to the previous W419, the model is more tenacious and less noisy. Some pros: 1. After the correct rolling (~ 2022 km, yes, after 2022 km the rubber opened up in a completely different way), I forgot about the abs cod. Really, like a click, the rubber became completely different. 2. On bare ice, it slows down normally, without "wow". It rides great in the snow. It brakes well on rolled snow, on rolled and slightly icy snow too. What struck me was after a thin layer of snow fell on the ice-covered asphalt, I thought everything, the car would end up in a ditch, but no, braking is even better than on ice, a paradox that surprised me greatly and I began to test hard in different conditions . 3. The braking distance on ice is less than the Bridgestone 7000 by about 2 meters (there were identical cars). 4. I drove at -38, it doesn’t dub, it doesn’t become square after idle time. 5. What else struck me was the predictable behavior when the car blows to the side, first there is a slight demolition, then the car becomes rooted to the spot. How many did not try to take away into a skid and never dragged away (with adequate behavior, which is possible on the road). 6. QUIET! VERY QUIET! After the transition from the summer, I did not notice a strong acoustic discomfort AT ALL! Especially when winter came, finally a buzz. With its cons: 1. Soft sidewall, yes, it is felt when changing lanes when the track is hard. 2. In autumn and in the off-season, he plans a little on the water. 3. Price, a little expensive for a Korean, but if the spikes do not fly out, then so be it =).
