Winter weather often brings ice, slush, snow, and lower temperatures with it, which can make it difficult for tires to grip the road. Fortunately, winter tires are designed to combat these elements, and that's exactly what Hankook's Winter iPike RS2 (W429) does for drivers of coupes, sedans, CUVs, and SUVs. The step-down design improves side snow grip by increasing friction surface and edge in deep snow roads, while the claw edges on both sides of the tread provide superior grip performance on snow. Winter iPike RS2 (W429) features an optimized ice slit design technology for great ice traction and an Ultra High Tensile Steel belt for puncture resistance as well as better handling and cornering performance at high speeds. In addition, the Winter i*Pike RS2 (W429)'s high flexible bead rubber reduces vibrations for a comfortable drive.
