Tyre reviews Hankook W429 i Pike RS2. Page 10 2016

They hold well. After the first season of use, no external damage is visible. The car stands confidently on the road.

The tire is good for its price (bought for 6300), one minus is that it's quite noisy. But its pluses outweigh this single minus by far.
And its pluses are
1) it grips well both on ice and snow.
2) handling at speed is good.
3) the studs haven't come out in 2 winter seasons
and a few more minutes, but this is no longer related to the tire, but to the company, they sent me a 18-year-old tire, although when ordering, I clarified and talked to the manager, they said it would be 20 years old. But the snow was already lying and there was no point in refusing it.

The best winter tires I've seen. The road holding is excellent, it doesn't pull to the side, the car always moves smoothly and confidently. Over the winter, only one stud came off, but considering our winter, this is an excellent result.

Good tires, not noisy, they hold the road well, it's very difficult to skid, for their money one of the best tires

The tire is good, quiet, and holds the road well. The studs are still all in place. But the tire is heavy, 3kg heavier than its competitors!

I specifically chose this model, I'm 100% satisfied, drove a season with a mileage of 20,000 km, wear is 15-20%, it handles snow and ice well, the car is used as a taxi, with aggressive operation, not a single puncture, I recommend.

Excellent tires. I bought them on sale, I thought it would be average (previously I had Pirelli studs). But it turned out to be excellent tires, they grip well, and so far in snowy winters in the Moscow region (where snow is cleared in the spring, when it melts) I have never gotten stuck. On a snowy road, it scrapes confidently.

As a minus, people write that it's noisy. I've had a lot of different studded tires and they're all noisy, that's what studs are!!! Previously, Pirelli was also noisy, although it was twice as expensive as these tires.

In general and not in general, well-deserved 5 stars, my recommendations and safe roads to all drivers!

My first winter tires, as I recently got my driver's license. I chose the tires for a long time, reading forums and asking for advice from "experienced" people. As a result, I bought these. The tires have not lost a single stud after 1000 km, although I don't drive aggressively. During a snowfall, I drove into snowdrifts with wheel spin, but managed to get out. On ice, it slightly pulls to the side, but not critically. When I bought them, I felt the difference from summer tires, it's not like driving, but rather like floating, the tires are soft. And I heard some noise, although not critical. In conclusion, I'll say that I like the tires, I drive confidently on them. Maybe there are better ones, but I have nothing to compare them to.

Bought for my grandfather's car at the beginning of winter. Drives a little, no complaints.
There is experience of operating this tire on other cars. No one has any complaints.

For those who still have doubts about taking this tire or not, I'll say it's a yes, it holds the road perfectly, behaves predictably, you can talk a lot, but the tire suited me with a 5. I drive fast with overtaking and etc. The run-in was about 500 km, up to 80 km, you can say on asphalt, without slipping. In general, I'll add a review after winter, whether I've lost studs or not. Good luck to everyone on the roads.
