Tyre reviews Hankook W409 Winter i Pike. Page 5 279

Great winter tire, we had 118 inches of snow this year and my car was useless until I put these tires on it. Very happy with the ride and they look great too, and I've read you can get up to 60,000 miles out of them from others who have them, what a great tire, and I got them for a great price.

I put the iPikes on for 11/17. By 11/22 a snow storm hit and the tires performed flawlessly. ABS never died once. They rotated my wheels with all seasons while I went by with none on the ground at all. As for road noise, they are actually quieter (I run non-studded) than all-seasons I run the rest of the year. I have to say, this is my first experience with winter tires and so far it has been phenomenal

This tire performs well under OFR for my limited city driving and occasional mountain drives. These tires significantly improved my vehicle's qualities in wet conditions. The noise is a bit louder than usual, but it doesn't always bother me.

Good day! On the first Hankook, I drove about 40,000 km without any problems. With a size of 205/55R16, the tire was surprisingly quiet, I especially liked it on snowy slush. The tread had about 30,000 km left when I sold the car, provided that the wheels were properly rotated. Now I have a different car and a size of 235/55R17, and suddenly at a speed of 80, there is a

In a word, don't take it. Acceleration is mediocre, braking is average, directional stability is non-existent (the main disadvantage), and it skids on turns, even at 40 km/h. Test conditions were 2-3 cm of snow. Previously, I had Michelin Ice Nord, and in comparison, the car handled like it was glued to the road in any weather with the Michelin. The pros of the Hankook are that it's quiet and good on dry roads

Over one winter season, 3/4 of the studs came off with calm driving. The wheel did not withstand a side impact, the cord burst. I am not satisfied with the rubber. Maybe I just got such tires (left), I don't know. For this winter, I put on my old BRIDGESTONE tires, which I've had for 3 seasons, and I'm still driving on them.

Cheap, fuzzy rubber. Over a month of operation on asphalt and rare snow and ice, God knows how many spikes flew out. This is the main disadvantage. Otherwise, everything is fine, it holds the road normally, acceleration and braking could be better, but there won't be more on ice. The noise is tolerable. Overall, it's nothing special. I won't take it to the mechanic's again, though. It's better to get a proper one right away.

The price is good
look at the same site Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi tires. The Hankook people copied the tread pattern exactly. I wonder if the operational characteristics are the same????
Pros: the pattern is beautiful
Cons: stole the design 29-10-2007

Excellent for passenger cars with a large weight (minivans) !!!
There was a positive experience of using on a "parketnik". Now I've put Hankook W409 I PIKE on a minivan, it's heavier and larger - STUNNING RESULT!!! The ride has become better than on the summer GOOD YEAR in the summer, in all characteristics!!!!!!
Pluses: excellent handling, worthy design, cool "traction".
Minuses:

Standard tires.
Optimal price-to-quality ratio. And most importantly, there is no howling in the cabin like in an airplane, just the usual clicking of the studs. Losses per season: front left - 6 studs, front right - 1 stud, rear left - 1 stud, rear right - 0 studs.
Pros: Price
Cons: Little-known manufacturer in Russia
