Hankook Winter i*Pike RS W419 is high quality and studdable winter tire developed to meet the needs of millions of passenger car drivers who are looking for performance and secure rides during the winter season. This model sets new standards for performance on ice and snow. Thanks to the latest technologies used in the production of this tire, it delivers dependable traction and predictable handling no matter the weather, no matter the road conditions. It is the default tire option for many passenger cars in daily use.
Firstly, Hankook Winter i*Pike RS W419 presents a silica enriched tread compound formed into a directional tread pattern. Open shoulder blocks with aggressive 2-in-1 block figures provide powerful traction on snow and icy roads. Arow-shaped center rib coupled with a husky claw edge adds extra biting edges for controlled and confident steering. Compared with many conventional tires, this model stands out with an advanced snow slit design, along with a new pin design (8-11/2HT-2). As a result, the brake distance becomes lower for rapid stops. Moreover, Hankook Winter i*Pike RS presents a special aqua slant coupled with directional tread grooves and special full depth sipes that expel rapid water, snow, and slush for maximum contact with the road. While spuit holes increase wet performance on slushy roads by absorbing water from under the tire footprint.
Hankook Winter i*Pike RS W419 is produced in a wide range of sizes starting from 14 to 17-inch rim diameters. It is one of the best winter tires for all passenger cars such as the Chevrolet Prisma, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Accent, Nissan Almera, and Toyota Yaris.
