Winter tires reduce the risks of snow, ice, and dropping temperatures on the road that accompany the winter season. The Hankook Winter iPike X (W429A) Studded is a long-lasting winter tire that offers great traction and handling, thanks to its wide center blocks and 3D sipe technology. The Winter iPike X (W429A)'s zigzag grooves drain water, slush, and melting snow from the tread, reducing the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads, while the Ultra High Tensile steel belts improve handling and cornering capability, as well as durability and puncture resistance for a longer tread life. While its 2-in-1 shoulder blocks and claw edges boost traction on wet, icy, and snowy roads, the Winter i*Pike X (W429A) Studded is pinned with many rows of studs to enhance traction in moderate to severe ice and snow.
