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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unattractive product, unprofitable purchase.

My measurements are 205/50/r17. Four tires were purchased at the end of winter and cost 21 dollars each. Prior to that, there were bridgestone tires that had been used for 9 years. In most cases, new ones have been placed in place. On the first day, I noticed something crawling in the front left corner. Surprised. Because earlier in the winter, there has been none for the past 9 years! On the fourth day, I flew into the hole on the right side of the wheel (the width along the wheel is 25-30 cm, and the depth of the hole is around 5 cm). Bottom line. It is not possible to fix the front wheel, which has a cut measuring three centimeters, and the back wheel has a bump measuring three centimeters by three centimeters directly in the tread area. That's not the case, and I can tell you that either my bad luck or the tires themselves are to blame for it. In a nutshell, I took two wheels that were in satisfactory condition and mounted them on the back axle. I then moved the wheel that was originally mounted on the left rear to the front in order to maintain an even load. Ps. I continued to catch nails in the front left, and this time it was after the cuts had been there for 5 days. I have a sense that they won't make it through the winter to see the end of it. I should add that after a lot of thought and looking around for comparable examples, I went with the same two wheels. Now, let's just hope there won't be any more adventures. Up to this point, three weeks had passed without incident.

Pros
  • Good handling. They do a good job of maintaining the road.
Cons
  • Unreliable
