Tyre reviews Hankook W429 i Pike RS2. Page 9 1813

Frame SUV. I used to have the same Hankook on the frame. The impression is very good, the car behaves stably and is well manageable.

Before these tires, I was driving on KUMHO. In comparison, these tires are slippery and brake poorly on asphalt covered with snow and slush due to the large number of studs in the contact patch. Therefore, it is desirable to brake in advance. But if the asphalt is dry, it's still acceptable to accelerate and brake. Over 2 seasons, not a single stud has come off.

I chose these tires based on customer reviews and YouTube views. Firstly, the tread of these tires is almost not clogged with snow because the lamellae are made with full cuts that connect to each other, and secondly, there are many studs and they will perform well on ice. And so, during the first run-in, they behave excellently, on clean asphalt they are not noisy, and that's not to mention that there are almost 200 studs.

Having read reviews, I chose these tires by chance. And I didn't miscalculate. I've driven two winters on them and out of the whole set, I've lost only 5 studs. My driving style is fun, and I remained satisfied with them. I bought another set for my new car.

I recommend.

Tested on a trip from Moscow to St. Petersburg in different conditions from -7 to +5, collected rain/snow/ice/snow mush with chemicals and remained satisfied!!! Didn't go below 120 (except for a dead jam for an hour)

I'm very pleased with the tires, they're not too noisy, with a mileage of around 1000! I live in the Moscow region, I drive on snow and icy courtyards, the tires scrape and ride in a medium driving style, not sporty! The only downside is the price this year.

Good winter tires.
I bought them in 2020. For two seasons of operation (1st season - 5686 km, 2nd season - 4159 km) they did not fail once.
All intact: no cracks, bulges or cuts. In two years, about 6 studs fell out of 4 wheels.
I chose for a long time and did not regret it. I advise everyone to buy.
My size: R14 185/65.

Very good tires, balanced in all characteristics. In motion, they resemble the stock Michelin X-Ice North 3: they make a moderate noise and behave predictably. On bare asphalt, despite the studs, the tires seem to stick to it. They grip well on snow, and the first ice is no problem. I recommend purchasing them.

I really like Hankook. I'm buying my 3rd set! For me, safety is the most important thing! !!! The noise level is minimal, it drives well on deep snow, I drove about 20,000 km and at first it was a bit noisy, but then the noise decreased, very soft and comfortable tire, good braking, afraid of side cuts, this is one minus.

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