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

205/50/17.1 season, four-wheel drive, active driving style Comfort 5 points After running in almost no noise. The first 1000 km buzzed like a helicopter at 90-110 km / h, then the sound pressure on my eardrums decreased. The spikes began to click noticeably less, rolled up. I hear them only on bare pavement, and then if you listen, and when I go into a steep turn. A colleague on the trade wind has a premium Pirelli for the first season - by the end of the season it is still buzzing both at speed and at high speed, given that it has a good stock Shumka. I have practically no Shumkov in Japanese and I hear more engine than tires. The rubber is very soft - it has become much faster and more pleasant to ride along the rails and pits. Compared to summer (215\45\17) Manageability 4 points The response to the steering wheel is late (elastic sidewall). I don’t grind in snow and porridge, but I also have four-wheel drive. It can float in a rut, but not always, apparently it depends on the size of the rut. At high speed, handling is slightly better than average, you have to steer. If the suspension is ideal, then it can and will be "like on rails." Up to 110 km / h is normal, above the rubber will not relax much It rides and brakes excellently on snow (5), good on asphalt (4), slightly better than average on porridge and ice (4-) At temperatures below -10 degrees behaves better. Reliability 4+ points: At speed along the highway, I fell into deep holes and at the joints between the old and new asphalt - it did not disappoint, it remained intact, there were no hernias. The spikes do not fly out, although I can lay sideways into a turn. After changing shoes to summer shoes, I’ll tell you more exactly how many spikes have fallen off. No rust was seen on the spikes. The sidewall is soft - it will not be difficult to break through with something foreign. Recommendations: City tire, for a moderate comfortable ride, with trips out of town to ride on forest snowy roads (I really like how it behaves in the snow). For not very long highway trips. Suitable for those who have a rigid suspension on civilian cars.
