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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Quality at zero, very sorry for the money spent.

Winter spikes for the first time. After skating them for two to three weeks, I sold them. Despite the brief time of operation, I will make an effort to write the most impartial assessment. So the tires are generally quiet, supple, and well-controlled, but they also make a sort of howling noise while driving, which personally irritates me a lot. At the same time, I can say right away that these are tires rather than hubs or a box. After a thousand kilometers, they started to fade a little, but I still didn't like the hum, so I sold them. In conclusion, if your only concern is sound comfort, I advise you to refrain. Rest is alright.

Pros
  • Controllability
Cons
  • Strong howls make people uncomfortable.

I took new ones in 2022, skated the season and sold it, an all-wheel drive car. Rubber for a very measured quiet ride.

Pros: not a single spike came out. Some cons: bad management, too soft.
