Hankook Winter I*Pike RS2 W429 215/50 R17 95T

South Korean tyres Hankook "shod" on the wheels of many cars. For vehicles that live in snowy winters, a studded model I * Pike RS2 W429 has been released. She does not care about ice, snow ruts and wet winter roads.

Main emphasis

In comparison with the model of the previous generation Hankook I * Pike RS W419, the tyre got rid of the stabilizing central stiffener and increased the number of blocks in the shoulders. The emphasis in it is on improving traction during active manoeuvring, and high-speed movement performance is relegated to the background. In the centre segment of the treadmill, V-blocks are staggered for superior traction on snow and icy surfaces.

12-row studding

In the dimension 215/50 R17 , the tyre has 193 studs distributed in 12 rows along the tread. With sharp caps of “steel teeth”, the tyre bites into the ice. On packed snow, the tyre holds the road better thanks to the sharp edges of the many sipes in the functional tread blocks.

Water drainage system

In addition to everything, the Hankook I*Pike RS2 W429 has an aqua-drainage system with an increased capacity for removing water and melted snow. The model is not subject to the effects of hydroplaning and slashplaning at all. The negative factors of the tyre include increased noise during the break-in period — the rubber makes noise for the first 500 km, until the spikes take their place, then the level of its acoustic comfort increases significantly.
