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. Able to be pinned with studs, where permitted, to increase traction and performance in severe ice and snow, the Winter iPike RS2 (W429)'s claw edges and 3D sipe technology are designed to increase traction, grip, and handling capabilities. Zigzag winter grooves drain snow and water from the tire to reduce the risk of hydroplaning, and the Winter i*pike RS (W429) utilizes an Ultra High Tensile steel belt that improves puncture resistance and durability for a longer tread life.
