Tyre reviews Hankook W429 i Pike RS2. Page 14 1813

I bought these tires for the Urals winter. This season’s novelty. They excel on snowy roads and behave confidently on icy roads. The tires are soft, with star-shaped tread. There’s regional delivery plus a good price.

I bought tires on this site during summer, they arrived quickly with packaging bags for old tires. Previously I was driving on Nokian (Finnish 4-season) and Continental (German glued rectangular studs). I liked Conti the most - soft, quiet, there were no studs loss at all and this at interstate speed up to 180 km/h. Took Korean ones for a try as there is no sense in putting premium tires on a cheap car. They are okay for the money,

I bought Hankook tires as I've had good experience with them previously. I don't drive on asphalt immediately, I use them on bare ice, groomed snow, as I drive in the city near the sea. I shift into second gear on snow, keep the gas pedal full, tackle deep snow and steep inclines with a lot of camber, jump over logs, hit potholes, and I can tell you that this tire is worth it - predictable in slides, I don't

I stumbled upon Tyres by chance. Budget was limited and being a fan of hacks, I had to make a more affordable choice. I opted for Hankook. This review is based on two winter seasons, with some 35,000 km covered. During the first winter, I had to swap the tyres three times after hitting potholes, but the Hankook tyres survived without a single puncture or sidewall cut. During the second winter, one tyre finally got damaged, but the hole

Fitted with 225/55R17, full-time AWD. Quietest treaded tire I've ever driven with. Summer Bridgestones with run-flats were noisier. Excellent handling on treaded tires in any weather conditions. After 18 summer tires, the car became more "sloppy" during lane changes and turns. This is due to the higher profile and softer compound of the tire. Balanced easily, no tread wear or loss throughout the season. Produced in Korea

Great tire that's value for money. Noise level is at, or slightly below, the Hakkapeliitta 8, and doesn't cause any discomfort. Dry handling is good, wet handling is good on solid 4+, and the ice handling is well predicted, snow finally caught up with it late in the season.

Good tire. Under asphalt, slightly bites on the front during active driving. Under snow, bites and holds firmly, brakes well too. According to tests, it was one of the leaders at the time of purchase, but in reality, for example, Pirelli Formula Ice pleased me more, I have it on the second car, I don't know how it will be with wear resistance, but otherwise Hankook seemed more pleasant.

The company has been involved in various forms of motorsport since the early days of the company, and has sponsored a number of racing teams, including the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team.

I've already driven 4000 km and have something to compare to. The icy and hard-pack snow tracks are simply great - I'd give them a 5 out of 5. On the other hand, the powdery, unaugmented snow is a 3, barely holding on in corners, a bit faster to get going, but the directional stability is questionable. I looked, took out my angle grinder, thin disc, and made a longitudinal cut in a grid pattern on the

Winter driving on dry roads - new wheels started to make noise at 90 km/h.
Handling on loose and wet snow is excellent.
Once got stuck on ice at -18°C, hit the car in front, but I think under those conditions and distance, other wheels would hardly have done any better.
Mileage is 4000 km, driving moderately aggressive, some drifting fun, all studs still in place.
Recommended for four-wheel drives with good
