Hankook Winter i cept RS2 Reviews - Page 2

I strongly recommend these tires. My previous ones were Pirelli. I can say the driving comfort is really good and very quiet on the road compared to Pirelli. Fuel consumption is not high, I feel that I can ride a little bit more than before. I believe that they are very economical. The Hankook tires never disappoint me. They are doing very well in snow, slush and really well on icy roads, plus other demanding winter conditions. They are very durable. Braking distance on a wet or ice surface is very good but if you start quickly, they sometimes squeal. If I had to purchase some winter tires again, I would go for the Hankook tires again without any doubts. What is more, their price is really reasonable.

ABS kicks in easily with those tires in compare to Michelin Alpin A3. Athough on snow is on compare with Michelin A3. Black ice is killer for i*cept 2 (didn't have that with Michelin Alpin A3s, actually I didn't know what is black ice until Hankooks. You will understeer or oversteer (if you are lucky) in second. Oversteer is correctable on these, if you have snappy hands and car for that. Car is Fiesta mk7 1.25 82hp.

This is my first winter season with these tires. Bought them after reading all the good reviews they've received. They have excellent dry and wet grip. I haven't experienced extreme winter conditions with them yet, but there was no problem with the small amount of snow we've had. Feedback, comfort and wear is also good. I see some have mentioned noise issues, over my driving years I've used several high end makes of winter tire including Goodyear, Michelin, Pirelli and I can honestly say these have been one of the quietest I've driven on, maybe lower tire profiles makes the difference? I would have no issue buying these again.

Given 56% while driving a SEAT Leon ST FR 2.0tdi 150 (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 600 average miles
Dry and wet grip are OK. But they are pretty loud(eaven at low speeds), not comfortable and are very firm(feel every hole). In snow pretty solid. No aquaplaning eaven at higher speeds. The car is more comfortable on 18" summer tires or my old winters tires also 18" than now on 16". Fuel consumption is bad between 1-2l/100km more then on 18"(winter or summer). Im not gonna but them again the high noise level, fuel consumption and the stiffness of the ride is just a no go for me.

Great winter tires, on dry these Hankook's are like summer tires, grip is excellent. On wet there is no problem, even with a few cm of water was no big deal but that wasn't at highway speed, up to 80kmph. Snow traction is superb, no problem in deep snow but I've only ever had only one trip on snow so it is hard to fully judge how they will cope on ice They are comfortable, very quiet compared to my summer tires. Will certainly buy again definitely. 10/10

Excellent tires, have used hankook tires for several years now and can't fault them, I used to swear by Goodyear tires but not any more. Superb grip in the snow/slush, wet and dry roads. totally transformed the car in the colder months. I reckon for the price you can't beat these.

These are the dog's ba**ock's, by far one of the better winter tires out there, superb grip in all weather conditions, low noise and great road feedback. Over the years I've used several makes of winter tires and I have to say the hankook W452 are one of the better ones. I can't comment on how they would perform if you were to continue driving during in the summer months as some people do, I always swap them for my summer set but in the cold winter months, I wouldn't be without them, plus the wife refuses to drive the car without them being fitted.

Absolutely fantastic tires, just wouldn't be without them during the winter months. This is my 2nd year/season of them and they're still in great shape with ample tread left and the rubber is still soft and flexible as winter tires should be compared to some other makes out there. I find them to be excellent in wet and dry conditions and outstanding in snow. Honestly I can't fault these tires in any way, shape or form. I will be certainly buying the same tires again if they are still available when the time comes to replace them. I've used Michelin, Nokian and Goodyear winter tires in the past but I can assure you these are these are just as good if not better in my opinion.

I absolutely swear by these tires, used them on my ford focus for several years now and wouldn't be without them during the winter. Superb grip during the wet/sleety roads during our lovely Scottish winter weather. Far superior to some of the cheaper Chinese tires I've used in the past. Do yourself a favour during winter time and buy yourself a set of these, you won't be disappointed. I cant recommend them enough.
