Hankook Winter i Pike W409 Studdable
The Bottom Line
The Winter i Pike W409 is a reasonable choice for budget-conscious drivers who prioritize dry grip and handling in winter conditions. However, its lack of 3PMSF certification and subpar wet grip make it less suitable for consistently wet or slushy environments.
Important Note
The absence of 3PMSF certification and lower wet grip score make it less ideal for regions with frequent slush or rain.
Pros
- Dry grip score of 7.5 provides solid performance for a winter tire, useful for those unexpected clear road days.
- Handling score of 7.5 suggests good maneuverability, which is beneficial for winter driving conditions.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is likely to be below average for winter tires, which could be a concern in slushy or rainy conditions.
- Lacks the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification, which is a standard indicator of winter performance.
- The Continental VikingContact 7 generally offers better all-around winter performance, especially in wet conditions.
