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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

Before switching to these shoes for my swallow in these tires, I skated for a number of seasons on Nordman 7, which is where I started off. After leaving the tire store, the very first thing I want to make a note of is: "did they change my shoes for sure?" The tires are extraordinarily quiet (of course, not on a summer highway, but in comparison to Nordman, it's just heaven and earth, the same Continental ice contact 3 is much noisier). Some customers said in the comments that they experienced difficulties when using the brakes on wet pavement. However, today I drove on this whole day (around the same highway/city), and when I was driving at reasonable speeds, I didn't notice anything like that; the braking was completely acceptable. Buying is something that I strongly advise doing.

Pros
  • Quiet, soft, passable
Cons
  • When traveling at low speeds, the concept of "zero" has become less objective.
