Hankook Tires Winter i*Pike X (W429A) Studded Tire

The Hankook Winter i*Pike X is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire promoted excellent winter weather traction. The directional tread design, with the claw and side edges and the ice slit tread elements, works together with the winter compound to boost the cold temperature, ice, and snow traction. The optimized tread features manage to provide additional biting edges, which enhance the surface grip. The compound keeps the tire pliable even in freezing temperatures. Using the groove placement, the tire is able to increase the hydroplaning resistance in wet conditions. This model utilizes a special and innovative stud technology. This strategically places optimized studs into the tread. These studs have an empty space at their bottom, which allows the stud to absorb the impact force during the tire's performance. Additionally, like all studs, they also offer extra biting edges, which greatly upgrade the winter weather, ice, and snow traction.
