Manufacturer's description
The Hankook Winter i'Pike RS2 W429 is a studdable winter tire specially designed for harsh winter conditions. Thanks to the new tread design with an increased number of studs, as well as a new rubber compound, the tire demonstrates excellent performance on any winter surfaces.
- Outstanding performance on snow and ice for severe winter.
Notable Features
Hankook Winter i'Pike X W429 is a directional studded tire for passenger cars engineered to tackle the harshest of winter challenges. This tire is characterized by dependable traction on snow and ice, crisp steering response, and ability to handle extra loads. A new product engineered for the winter season 2018/2019.
The broad central section of the tread pattern, strewn with deep multidimensional lamellas, increases the grip and the traction capabilities provided by Hankook W429 Winter i Pike X on deep snow. The manufacturer claims that the total length of the sipes of this tire model was increased by 23% and 14% lengthwise and crosswise, thanks to which Hankook Winter i'Pike X is characterized by increased stability on winter roads.
Yet another interesting feature of Hankook W429 is the formula of its rubber compound, which, thanks to a lower glass transition point temperature, supports the tire’s performance even in severe frost.

Ranked #5th of 8. Hankook Winter i*Pike RS2 W429Verdict:The second-generation Hankook i*pike tire was presented in 2018, and, since the time the VB test was conducted, that manufacturer has had the time to upgrade it. As experts note, one can hope that Hankook has increased the braking effectiveness on wet and dry pavements, which was definitely an issue with this tire. At the same time, Hankook demonstrated excellent hydroplaning resistance, and by this parameter they were able to surpass all of the rivals. Yet another peculiarity of Hankook is the biggest projection of the spikes among all the tested tires, and this affected the results that turned out to be worse than expected.
