Tyre reviews Hankook W409 Winter i Pike 279

I bought a few months ago (225/45R17). I was buying exactly with a tread pattern of "tractor" type, as the parking lot was quite sloping and last winter I had to dig out and brush away snow to get out. I managed to test on positive temperatures, a bit below zero, on dry, wet and slightly "muddy" roads.

In general, the tires are VERY soft - especially noticeable on low profile. The suspension behaves significantly quieter. The noise is

Great tires, I recommend

Soft, brakes well, easily absorbs small irregularities. A small layer of snow slush is simply not noticeable. I noticed one feature: you drive into the snow, get stuck... turn on the rear wheel drive and jump out as if nothing had happened. Also, on rolled ice, it brakes better than it starts moving. The price is very democratic.

Satisfied with the purchase. The tire met all of my expectations. It holds well on snow and ice. As for noise, I can't say anything as it's a Lada Niva. After 2 seasons of use (10-15 thousand km) 3-5 studs have come loose on each wheel (I expected the worst). The car moves confidently through deep snow. In my opinion, the tire has an excellent price/quality ratio.

Disappointing in every way! Extremely soft. Although I was expecting that to be a plus! The car "floats" through corners. At speeds above 80 km/h the car is "thrown" from side to side, especially on a small rut (asphalt). The wheels are perfectly round, the tyre is perfectly balanced. No vibration, up to 20 grams of load. But the braking is terrible! And the funny thing is, it's the same :), at abrupt braking

Tires 205/55 R16 I bought with the car from the previous owner said that it's a B1 (the tire markings confirm this), and only lacked a couple of tread blocks.
I drove them for 2 months last season and here I am almost 3 months into this one.
Here is my review:
The tire is complete... (on previous cars I used Michelin Alpin 2, General N'Stig 5, Continental V

Due to financial difficulties, I chose the budget option Hankook Winter I*Pike (W409) in size 205x55 R16 on the recommendation of tire salesmen, and with the advice of reviews I had read. I installed the tires in late October, before there was any snow or ice on the roads, and immediately had to make a long trip (2,000 km one way, Khanty-Mansiysk - Bashkiria). I mostly drove on wet asphalt

Didn't buy it. Already had it. Only on the front axle. Wear, approx. 20%. About 70% of the tread left. Bought a plane in July and the rear set in winter for 400 roubles used 2 such tires. True, in a worse state and almost without tread... But at least on a non-slippery road, on mashed potatoes, with any possible reconfigurations (well, within reason!!!), 120-150 (depending on the

Good tire. Went for a season on it, lost one stud. A bit noisy, but gets much quieter after breaking in. I live in Novosibirsk. Works well in the snow. Also does okay on ice. Once I steered it a bit too sharply, I was a bit too late to brake. Worth the price. The tread is original. Bought the same one for my other car.

Not bad

at a speed of about 60 km, a 90-degree turn, two-lane width: the beginning of the turn is very good, you approach the center and don't even think that there is ice on the asphalt. The end of the turn suddenly starts with skidding (unnoticeably, honestly) I realized by the expression on the faces of passers-by (I have 7 years of experience, 5 winters on summer tires) but stabilizes quickly with

Worth their money

Car Chevrolet Lacetti Sedan 1.6, size 195/55rR15. Bought on the recommendation of acquaintances from the car market, 3000 rubles per wheel. The most annoying thing was floating in the ruts. If you drive at speed through frozen ruts in the asphalt, you really have to hold the car on course. This was not observed at all on summer Hankook tires. Apparently, the softness of the tire
