All motorists in our country know about the importance of winter tires. The climate in Russia is very severe and unpredictable over the winter periods of thaw can many times to change the frosts. Of course, to speak in such terms on a safe vehicle traction with the road surface is simply not necessary.
Because Of this circumstance the selection of quality rubber becomes literally a matter of life and death. So historically, most respected and “respected” our owners are the products of Scandinavian producers. It and is clear: the climate in those parts is also very far from the Equatorial, and because of the winters, those Swedes know not by hearsay.
However, in the not so distant past in “rubber” the market has a new player – tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419. Reviews about this product say that these winter tires, has quite adequate cost, are a good substitute for “scandinavica”. Given that in the Wake of the crisis of the last years the prices of the mentioned models have grown, many drivers appeared easily understandable desire to somehow save.
So what is ‘strange”? The fact that this brand of winter tires come from South Korea. Until relatively recently, the manufacturer was not in a recognized list of reputable suppliers of tyres, but Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 reviews, which will be reviewed in this article changed all that. The quality of this rubber is at a global level, and Russian drivers prove this fact numerous field trials.

Studded tires this model, as reported by the manufacturers, are designed for commercial and private vehicles. Their use is recommended for installation on passenger cars and light-duty trucks. In addition, the Koreans have caught the fashionable European trend of recent years – environmental safety. Their rubber has received the extremely prestigious award of Swedish Nordic Swan ("Nordic Swan"), which is unable to only completely safe for the environment products.
How this was achieved? The fact that the Korean chemists have developed a special cycle of synthetic rubber, which uses only oil that contains the minimum possible number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. And they – one of the best known and most aggressive carcinogenic substances common in the world.
In recent years, many countries take a strict environmental laws that prevent the use of hazardous components in road transport. The number of cars each year is growing rapidly, and therefore the possibility of contamination of the environment with dispersive particles of used tires is becoming higher.
But drivers in the most part far from the thoughts about the environmental safety of your car and its components. What attracts them tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419? Reviews indicate that it is important in this role developed the best Korean engineers unique tread pattern.
Drawing the Central part resembles the Latin letter V. the Consumers are attracted by an interesting and aggressive design, but the real benefit of the tire is different. The fact that this figure contributes to the achievement of maximum contact area of the tread with the road surface, which ensures an excellent degree of stability of the car on the road regardless of the time of year and the condition of the roadway.
It was Also experimentally proved that a V-shaped cross-section helps to minimize braking distance, even on a severely snow-covered road. The role of the ribs is the Central element of the tread, having the shape of a zigzag. It is included in the design not only to ensure the necessary rigidity, but to reduce rolling resistance. In addition, "zigzag" significantly reduces the amount of vibration and noise that inevitably arise when traffic on the winter road, which is unlikely to be an example of flatness.
What differentiates the tyre is Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419? Reviews indicate a large number of quite large individual blocks that have some "off road” effect and allow you to confidently drive on snow-covered domestic roads.
Between blocks there is a space sufficient for self-cleaning of the tyre from falling in the projector dirt, water and snow. In addition, when the first tire not to mention the number of wavy slats that literally esperat its surface, leaving not an inch free of them square.
Thanks to this technological solution to the Koreans managed to significantly improve the grip of the wheels with the road surface without increasing (up to the critical values) their rigidity. To counter the skids on the icy road, the tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 215 50 R17 (and also variety with a different radius) is equipped with six rows of spines, made of special high-quality, durablesteel.
Still in the process of designing the patterns of a new type of Korean chemists have done a superb job, creating new polymer compounds, which would be quite cheap and yet sturdy and durable. Find PROIZVODITELYA is the inclusion in the rubber composition finely divided silicon. The latter provides an excellent grip, even in cases when the road is completely iced over.
Oddly enough, the Koreans in the homeland where there are no more or less serious winters surprisingly well was able to find additives for the preservation of the tyre elasticity even in severe frost conditions. These components not only make the rubber soft but also give it an enviable longevity.
Besides all these advantages, the protector of the considered tire has another advantage. Thanks to computer modeling its creators were able to develop a system of special “cutting” edges that are several times improved gear rubber over the pavement.
Coupled with spikes such a system makes winter driving on roads of any complexity easy and comfortable. There is information that the company intends to develop models without thorns. This circumstance is due to the fact that the roads in many EU countries banned the use of tires of this brand. Road services of these countries do everything possible to prevent this type of rubber, but because the company is losing profit is banal.
The Most attractive features of the Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 215 50 R17 are as follows:
As we have said, the spikes are arranged on the surface of these tires in six rows. Drawing their location on the diagonal. The latter was developed with the help of special software so that all spikes in the amount provided maximum traction. In addition, it was experimentally shown that in this location, is much less "picks" on the sides even in the case of drive fast on icy road.
Domestic drivers show their enviable longevity and strength. There are cases when even after the third year of operation on its "rightful place” remains more than 85% of the spikes. This eliminates the need to buy new tires every season, which can not but rejoice.
For their manufacture, the manufacturer uses a special grade alloy steel. She is very strong, but not brittle. Such spikes can easily penetrate even compacted, old ice. Alas, but from-for them in many Western European countries are not used tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 195 65 R15 95T TL. Spike reviews, which we already briefly discussed, too cruel to treat soft road surface. In our country, where the road is laid with asphalt, this fact this does not matter.
Thus, the described tires is quite popular among local motorists due to the following advantages:
In addition, ‘piggy Bank" of the positive qualities of this rubber include deep cuts at the edges of the projector:they serve for the evacuation got there the snow and ice. This model annually receives high safety rating from the most respected automotive publications. In particular, the tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 (photo is in the article) are officially allowed to put on cars designed for regular transport of children and adolescents.
It would be strange if the Korean manufacturers did not release the car tires of various sizes, designed for common types of cars, spread all over the world. So, the domestic market is the tread width from 175 to 245mm. do Not go and hurt the owners of wheel disks with radius from R13 to R18. What the speed indexes are calculated tyre Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 175 70 R13 82T TL?
As the name implies, the allowable speed index - 82t piston, but the Korean manufacturer produces tires that have this value reaches from 104Т. But we would like to warn all fans of fast driving that reckless driving on icy winter road may be good and not come to an end.
In addition, the tires have negative qualities. What are the disadvantages of tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 175 70 R13 82T? Spike, reviews to which we have already seen, the Koreans turned out very solid, and it is good not in all cases. Experienced racers-extreme athletes participating in the Championships of world importance, saying that the car on tires with such solid elements will have an impressive stopping distance.
Even at the speed of 55-60 km/h the car can drive for at least 35-40 meters, especially if the pavement is dry. It is highly recommended not to conquer speed records, if the temperature outside – from -25 degrees Celsius and below.
While surveys conducted by many reputable automotive publications from around the world, it was found that people are buying tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 175 70 R13 82T for operation in climatic zones with the following temperature conditions:
As you can see, buying tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 235 55 R17 most often practiced by those motorists who reside somewhere within the Moscow region or in regions with similar climatic conditions. Reviews of motorists show that more “severe” climate zones need all the other winter tires.
Also, the drivers confirm that tires Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 185 65 R15 92T good suitable for the urban environment, and to drive on country roads. But in practice it was found that undesirable use if you have a truck weighing more than three tons. In such situations affects the insufficient rigidity of the rubber compounds used: if for cars is good for trucks like this is extremely undesirable.
Also Recommended drive with variable aggressiveness. Lovers of winter road trips are warned against pressing “gas”, as at high speeds and in very snowy winters, these tires can no longer provide as good a grip. The drivers confirmed that two winter season is lost up to a total of five spikes (maximum). If you drive more or less carefully, the spines usually entirely remain in their places.
Ordinary motorists, there are the following positive qualities of the rubber of this brand.
What to say in conclusion? I think Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 175 70 R13 82T (spike) – sale, in which perfectly combined the low price and the quality level of the best foreign analogues. Particularly pleased that the studding in this case, durable, can withstand several seasons of quite intensive use.
This rubber can safely be bought as the ordinary car owners, soand those drivers who are engaged in small-tonnage freight. Remember that overloading a vehicle is not necessary, since the characteristics of cruelty may not be enough.
Korean Tires manufacturers – the perfect choice for those motorists who do not have the slightest desire to chase the “loud” marks and brands, and want to just buy tires adequate quality at human prices.
You Can congratulate the Korean engineers and chemists that they managed to create really high-quality and budget tyres, the characteristics of which are not worse than the products of many producers from around the world. They behave the same as on a snowy road, and icy road, slightly covered with snow. Protector, in addition to the carbide spikes, has many sharp edges that also improve the performance of adhesion with the road.
This allows you to get pleasure from driving and feel confident even on heavily snow-covered, icy roads. Tires this model is used by hundreds of thousands of motorists around the world, and any complaints from their side.
