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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not perfect quality, some small defect.

Very weak. I work as a driver and therefore I have something to compare these tires in practice. For such PR and such money, Hankook specifically screwed up by releasing outright hack work on the market. After the first 100 km, the spikes become blunt. Yes, maybe someone will say that it helps to save the asphalt, but the spikes should work. Dumb spikes don't work. They sit firmly, there are no complaints, but in comparison with other brands, both premium and economy, the spikes are very dull to the touch

Pros
  • Good handling, tolerable sidewall strength.
Cons
  • blunt spines

Got pros: Inexpensive. Reliable. Balancing was not needed. Lots of spikes. Got cons: The spikes make noise on the asphalt.

Price-quality, without compromise
