Hankook 1028989 Winter iPike X W429A 275/60R20 116T XL Studdable Winter SUV Tire

The Hankook Winter i*Pike X (W429A) is a directional, studdable winter tire engineered specifically for CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks. Designed to deliver confident performance in the harshest winter conditions, it provides reliable grip on ice and snow, precise steering response, and resistance to heavy loads — all while offering a longer tread life compared to standard winter tires.

Winter Traction Technology:

• Ice Slit Technology combined with 3D sipe design and wide center blocks improves grip and braking performance on ice and packed snow
• Zigzag grooves efficiently evacuate water, slush, and melting snow from the tread, reducing hydroplaning risk on wet roads
• 2-in-1 shoulder blocks and claw edges deliver enhanced traction in deep snow and icy conditions
• Studdable design — can be pinned with TSMI #12 studs (where permitted by law) for maximum ice traction

Durable Construction:

• High-structure carbon black compound for improved braking and all-season durability
• UHT (Ultra High Tensile) wide steel belt with folded belt edge tape for enhanced handling, cornering performance, and puncture resistance
• Jointless full and edge cover reinforced belt for improved uniformity and tread strength
• Equilibrium polyester carcass for enhanced sidewall stiffness and ride comfort
• High-hardness bead filler and ultra high-strength bead wire for superior bead position uniformity and durability

Ratings & Certifications:

• Rated 116T XL (Extra Load) — suitable for heavier SUV and light truck applications
• M+S (Mud & Snow) rated
• Carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, certifying performance in moderate to severe winter weather conditions

The Hankook Winter i*Pike X W429A offers SUV and light truck owners a premium studdable winter tire solution that balances aggressive winter capability with the structural durability needed for larger, heavier vehicles.
