Hankook 1028993 Winter iPike RS2 W429 205/60R16 92T Studded Winter Tire

The Hankook Winter i*Pike RS2 (W429) in size 205/60R16 92T is a premium studdable winter tire engineered for passenger cars, coupes, sedans, CUVs, and SUVs that demand confident traction in severe cold-weather conditions. Carrying both the M+S and Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certifications, this tire is built for moderate to severe winter driving. It can be pinned with TSMI #12 studs (where legally permitted) for maximum grip on hard-packed ice.

Key Features:

• Directional Zigzag Winter Grooves — Efficiently channel water, slush, and snow away from the contact patch for improved drainage and consistent road contact on slick surfaces
• Wide Center Block — Provides a stable, rigid contact zone for responsive braking and straight-line traction on snow and ice
• Unique 2-in-1 Shoulder Block Design — Combines two shoulder block functions into one, boosting cornering grip and lateral stability in icy and snowy conditions
• Ice Slit Design Technology — Precision micro-slits increase biting edges throughout the tread face, delivering superior grip on glare ice
• Claw Edges on Both Sides of the Tread — Aggressive edge geometry on each tread shoulder enhances lateral control in deep snow and slush
• Side Edge Step-Down Design — Sculpted sidewall-adjacent tread blocks improve traction and handling when cornering on packed snow
• Optimized 3D Sipe Technology — Interlocking three-dimensional sipes maintain block stiffness while multiplying biting edges for enhanced ice and snow performance
• Optimized Stud Pin Placement — Pre-drilled stud holes are precisely positioned to maximize ice traction when studs are installed
• Increased Pitch Numbers — Variable pitch tread sequencing reduces road noise for a quieter, more comfortable winter drive
• UHT Steel Belt & HF Bead Rubber — Reinforced internal structure paired with flexible bead rubber improves durability and ride comfort in freezing temperatures

With a 4-ply rating, 11/32" tread depth, and a black sidewall finish, the Hankook Winter i*Pike RS2 W429 delivers the durability, bite, and confidence needed to tackle northern winters. Part number 1028993.
