The Hankook Winter i*Pike X (W429A) is a studdable winter tire purpose-built for CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks. Engineered to deliver confident traction on ice, snow, slush, and wet roads, it combines advanced tread technology with a durable internal construction to keep drivers in control during harsh winter conditions.

Tread Technology:

• Ice slit design with increased pitch numbers bites into snow and ice for superior grip on slippery surfaces
• Zigzag grooves and wide channels efficiently evacuate water, slush, and melting snow to reduce hydroplaning risk on wet roads
• 3D sipe technology and wide center blocks improve grip and handling performance on packed snow and ice
• 2-in-1 shoulder blocks and claw edges boost traction and stability in wet, icy, and snowy conditions
• Decoupling groove optimizes heat management under heavy loads to promote longer tread life

Construction & Durability:

• Ultra High Tensile (UHT) steel belt enhances handling, cornering capability, puncture resistance, and overall durability
• High-structure carbon black compound maintains flexibility in cold temperatures for consistent grip
• Equilibrium polyester carcass provides a stable, balanced tire structure
• High-hardness bead filler and ultra-high-strength bead wire ensure a secure, precise fit on the wheel
• Jointless full and edge cover reinforced belt with folded belt edge tape for improved high-speed stability

Certifications & Ratings:

• M+S Rated for mud and snow performance
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified for use in moderate to severe winter weather conditions
• Studdable — can be pinned with TSMI #12 studs (where permitted by local law) for enhanced traction on severe ice

The Hankook Winter i*Pike X W429A delivers the grip, durability, and all-weather winter performance that SUV and light truck drivers demand when temperatures drop and roads turn treacherous.
