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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

When I bought tires right after they were released to the public for purchase, there were no reviews available online about how well they performed on the Kia Optima. Korea, the production nation. If you drive a car in a city where snow is cleared from the roads in a fast manner, be prepared for the roads to be sprinkled with chemicals, and these tires have an increased number of spikes, so you should be prepared for noise if you drive there. For those who are thinking about taking it, it is important to consider the fact that these tires have an increased number of spikes. When rubber is driven over pavement at medium speeds, a buzzing sound is produced; when the speed is increased, the buzz transforms into a howling sound. There are no concerns regarding the rolled snow or ice because this is in her comfort zone and the rubber performs admirably. Therefore, I would propose tires if the winters in your region are snowy and you frequently have to drive on snowy roads. On the other hand, if the roads are clear for the majority of the winter, you should consider looking into other options.

Pros
  • after three years, the quality is at its peak, and all spikes are in place.
Cons
  • noise
