Hankook Winter I*Pike X Tires
The Hankook Winter i*Pike X is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The reinforced bead design upgrades the comfort levels. The tire uses a special high-flexibility bead rubber that enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving. In this manner, the tire significantly lowers the road vibrations felt by the passengers.
The UHT steel belt structure and ideal footprint work together to boost the tire’s durability and handling. The construction allows the tire to keep the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure, while the road contact is maintained as well. This improves the load durability and damage resistance, while also enhancing the model’s controllability.
The Hankook Winter i*Pike X increases the winter weather traction. The winter compound and the tread design, with the optimized tread elements, upgrade the ice and snow grip. The claw and side edges increase the number of biting edges, along with the ice slits. The optimized groove pattern avoids hydroplaning in wet conditions, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. Durable compound elements keep the rubber flexible throughout the drive, boosting driving safety. The tread area is strategically pinned for studs, which, when added, greatly upgrade the ice and snow grip.
