Great Snow Tire, love the design.
I get up on a weekday morning and look out the window, and it's snowing. I grin and say to myself BRING-IT! for I have the Hankook IPIKE RW11's studded and ready for action. Love the peace of mind.

Loved performance of the tires. Will buy again,
Previous tires before this purchase had several negative issues. I bought these last tires due to those
issues and resolved the problems that irritated me such as: road noise, hard ride, and quality.
I was very pleased with the performance and quality since changing out to tires bought from
Simple Tire. Will buy again when needed for both of our vehicles. Thank you standing behind your
product and delivering what was actually viewed on line.

I only have a thousand miles on these tires as of yet so I don't have treadwear to report yet. However, in snow these tires are amazing. I debated studding them, but I'm glad I didn't waste the money they work awesome without studs. I drive an old pickup and usually in the winter it's hard to keep forward momentum up snowy icy hills. With these tires I have no problem climbing hills that I would normally need 4 wheel drive for. I will be purchasing these tires for my wife's vehicle as well.

Looking for Winter tires for a new Genesis GV70 (225-55-19) and checked these iPike RW11s first. Ran these on my previous Subi for 3 sets worth over 6 years. Absolutely outperformed all the Bilzzaks I had prior and as good as the X-Ice2s on my old S5. I drive about 600mi a week and these lasted 2 winters. If these are avail in your size stop reading reviews and just buy them.
