Description

The Hankook Winter i*pike X W429A is a winter tire, one of the latest products that the famous Korean tyre manufacturer has prepared for SUV enthusiasts. This tyre is the improved continuation of the old W419 model. Like its predecessor, the W429 is designed for the harsh winter conditions of Northern Europe and Scandinavia, which means it's perfectly suited to tackle the country's climatic conditions. The manufacturers guessed something was up, so this model is designed specifically for crossovers and SUVs.

Hankook Winter i*pike X W429A main features

- optimised V-shaped symmetrical tread pattern improves traction and handling in all types of winter conditions;

- new rubber compound for improved low-temperature flexibility;

- Carefully calculated block layout and shape for a higher level of comfort;

-The chips are ideal for particularly harsh winter conditions, providing even more grip.

As a legacy from the previous model, the i*pike X was also given a tread with a V-shaped directional symmetrical pattern, which has however been significantly modified. The centre of the tread now features a more massive longitudinal rib whose high stiffness ensures excellent directional stability and high performance in winter road conditions. Around the central rib on both sides, as before, are massive independent blocks, now at a sharper angle to the direction of movement. This has significantly improved traction in snow.

The shoulder areas of theI*pike X W429A have two separate rows of tread blocks. Compared to its predecessor, these tread blocks have become considerably larger and the distance between them has increased significantly.

The increased number of sipes resulted in a better contact area with the road surface and improved adhesion properties, which improved handling on slippery surfaces. In addition, the already large number of sipes has been significantly increased, depending on the size of the Hankook i*pike X W429A , the number of sipes and their arrangement have been designed to give maximum grip on both ice and snow.
