Hankook Winter I*Pike RS Tires
The Hankook Winter i*Pike RS is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The silica-based tire compound improves the fuel efficiency. It eases the driving pressure off the tire and greatly lowers its rolling resistance. The lessened rolling resistance decreases the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emission, guaranteeing a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.
The reinforced internal structure features wide steel belts, a high-hardness bead filler and an equilibrium carcass line which maintain the ideal tire shape. This ensures the tire’s constant road contact, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the steering is faster and more precise, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model during its performance.
The Hankook Winter i*Pike RS promotes a secure winter weather performance. The tread design’s detailed 2-in-1 tread block placement, husky slit and husky claw edge pattern increase the tire’s grip on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions. They greatly increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout its performance, enabling the tire to safely perform in winter weather conditions. Furthermore, the winter weather compound enhances the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures. The water slant grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire’s footprint, enabling the tire’s secure driving experience.
