Tyre reviews Hankook W429 i Pike RS2. Page 71 1813

Traction, wet snow is not its element. Ice is generally not an option. Like a cow on ice. The studs broke, rather than coming out, and this is with a calm driving style. If you press the gas a bit, the car skids, if you brake too hard - ABS goes into a frenzy, and will continue to do so until you release the brake. The car is a Largus, that is, we're not talking about a high-performance German car. An old Nordman, which I didn't have a great opinion of, turned out to be much better.

Good soft tires, quiet. So far, no complaints. Everything is satisfactory

Thank you to the seller

The situation is not clear-cut.

Pros:

- the studs are quiet and almost do not hum

- directional stability

Cons:

- A BIG MINUS FOR WINTER TIRES, THEY ARE SOFT, the snow has not even fallen yet, I have not had time to ride them properly, and the tire has already burst.

- they are silent about replacing the tire and warranty and do not respond to anything.

- another thing, on the website it is indicated that the tire is XL, but in fact it is a regular one without a reinforced tread

The second season all the studs sank, suffered the third winter.

The website indicates the manufacturer as Korea, but it arrived from China, and even from 17, 23 years ago. This is an extremely dishonest company.

The tires were inherited from the previous car owner. At 6 years of operation, all the studs are in place, with minor tears on the tread visible in some areas. There are not many complaints, but they exist: 1) on ice at low speed, the car could unexpectedly skid with its rear axle, saved by ESP. 2) In the last year, braking on snowy slush has deteriorated significantly, which almost led to an accident twice. The speed at that time was within 60-70 km/h

Ran one season, so far satisfied with the tires 100%. The only thing is that in the spring, when puddles appear, the resistance to aquaplaning is not the best.

Noisy, but in terms of handling, there is nothing to complain about. It grips well on both snow and ice.

I recommend. The quality is top-notch.
