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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

12/01/2022 Purchased a set of Hankook Winter i Pike RS2 W429 91T tires in the size 205/55/16, and had them mounted on a Skoda Octavia. Spike-running in the city and surrounding environs. Even though asphalt. According to the sound that can be heard at the beginning of the movement, which is described as a pleasant chirping rustle, the sound is nearly unheard between 40 and 60 of its spikes; nevertheless, it can be heard much more clearly after the spiked ones have passed by. From 60 to 80, there is an increase in tread noise. This is to be expected with winter tires. Soft yet manageable. Nearing the end of spring, Michelin (there is something to compare it to). When we have completed 500 iterations, we will be able to make more accurate judgments. Let's take a look at how the thorns have changed since the winter. Prior to that, we spent 22 years working with friction. Now it's time to test out the spikes. It would appear that the pricing and quality will be in accordance with the reviews and expectations.

Pros
  • I am able to say that I am pleased with the Hankook rubber, since it has met all of my expectations. From December 1, 2022, to December 5, 2022, I logged 235 kilometers driving it throughout Hong Kong. And it walks boldly on asphalt, as well as on snowy oatmeal, as well as on ice; it does not throw and it does not lead. The sidewall does not possess the same degree of rigidity as the Bridgestone. The spikes sit deep. As a result of this, she resembles a combination of prominent spikes and Velcro.
Cons
  • When driving with an overly confident attitude, you run the risk of just having deficiencies in your brains. The principles of physics do not change because it is winter; Velcro and spikes both still work. Why are people so confident there aren't any wheels if it's slippery when you're walking on it?
