Tyre reviews Hankook W429 i Pike RS2. Page 13 2016

Good tires, a lot of tread on the studs.
Holds the road well, minimal braking distance on poor road surface.
Has proven itself well many times.
Minus - extremely noisy. (I think any studded tire is like that)

Excellent tires. Initially, they were noisy, but after a week, the noise disappeared. They hold the track perfectly, and on ice - simply great. Not yet tested on snow (still lacking).

I bought these tires to replace my Nokian Hakkapeliit 5. I was very pleased with the tires. After installation, I drove to Velikiy Ustyug for New Year's and was very pleased with the tires' performance on the road. They performed well on both ice and snow. I believe they offer an optimal price-to-quality ratio.

Excellent tires. They grip well on snow. Good bite on ice. Good braking. Hold less well on dry roads due to many studs. After 2000 km + 500 km break-in, not one stud came loose. I recommend.

A great all-around option that has consistently performed well in all tests. They behave predictably on asphalt. No slides whatsoever, despite thousands of kilometers on snowy roads with a layer of ice.

Tires in general, were liked. Minuses: 1. Don't like ice with slush at the bottom - braking on the given tire is completely absent, the car becomes a sled, lamellas clog and the grip with the road is lost. 2. Braking distance on a wet asphalt wants to be better. 3. Too soft sidewalls burst. Pluses: 1. Grip, handling on ice and snowy roads - 5 points. 2. Comfort

I chose tires based on budget and price-quality ratio. The design is very similar to other manufacturers, it's nice-looking. At the moment with a small mileage (about 700 km) there are more positive reviews. The only negative is the lack of side grip, although this is subjective and depends on many factors. They are very quiet, the tread noise is hardly audible. I didn't lose any of them. They are very soft, but this may be better for winter. I would buy

Excellent tyres. After 15000 km all studs still in place, although used 80% on asphalt. Excellent handling on snowy conditions. A bit noisy on asphalt.

I bought two 215/60 R16 tyres on a trial basis, mounted on the front axle. After YOKOHAMA F700s (each weighing 17 kg without a wheel), these "test tyres" began to hum a lot on asphalt before running-in. I thought "IT'S A BUST". However, after running-in (800 km), they do not hum even on asphalt. They are stable on both dry and wet asphalt and ice. They also handle snow well. On

Mid-range tires.

Initially, when braking, the studs are very audible, and then they get better.

I was very disappointed with the behavior of the tire when braking, both on dry and wet asphalt - almost not grasping the road surface, you brake and the car keeps going. Be careful - emergency braking is not their strong point.

When entering a turn - the car can swerve.

In summary, when braking and entering a turn, it feels like you are driving on plastic wheels from a
