The Hankook RW09 Winter i Pike LT winter tire belongs to the premium class. It is installed on light commercial vehicles operated in European winter conditions. It is characterized by good traction on snow and ice, fast self-cleaning, and a short braking distance.
The model is not equipped with studs, but this does not affect its working characteristics, which are provided by a number of factors. Firstly, aggressive dual-type blocks with broken edges create massive grips, allowing for easy overcoming of snowy road sections. Secondly, a dense lamellar network reliably fixes the contact patch on wet and slippery roads, maintaining handling sensitivity. The presence of three-dimensional grooves contributes to fast self-cleaning and overcoming deep snow.
The shoulder area contains large blocks covered with lamellas. This structure is responsible for maneuverability and reduces the braking distance, making the tire more safe.
To maintain directional stability, a central rib is provided. Its broken edges and numerous notches guarantee effective control at any speed.
