The Hankook Winter i*Pike X (W429A) is a studdable winter tire designed for SUVs, CUVs, and light trucks, delivering strong performance on icy, snowy, and wet roads. Key technologies include innovative ice slit design for ice traction, 3D sipe technology, and Ultra High Tensile steel belt construction for enhanced durability and cornering performance. The tire features claw edges and step-down design on the sidewalls for superior snow grip, along with a flexible bead rubber that minimizes road vibrations and contributes to a quiet ride. It carries the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification for severe winter conditions and can be fitted with TSMI #12 studs for additional traction when permitted. The directional tread pattern with zigzag grooves effectively drains water and slush to reduce hydroplaning risk, while the rubber compound is optimized for cold temperatures and improved braking. Available in sizes from 15 to 20 inches, this tire combines reliability with long-lasting tread life and overall value for winter driving.
