The tread design is able to maintain surface contact, while the high-tensile steel belt structure keeps the ideal tire shape under the pressure affecting the model. The claw edges and the side edges enhance controllability and cornering. The durable compound boosts the puncture resistance throughout the performance. The Hankook Winter i*Pike RS2 also promotes a comfortable driving experience, by minimizing the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin.
