The Winter i*pike RS2 (W429) - Factory Studded is a premium studded winter tire engineered to deliver outstanding performance on ice, snow, and cold-weather roads. Designed with advanced technologies and precision, it ensures safety, comfort, and durability even in the harshest winter conditions.

• Exceptional ice traction thanks to Ice Slit Design technology and optimized stud pin placement
• Enhanced snow grip with claw-edge tread and step-down sidewall design
• Superior durability and driving comfort through UHT Belt and High Flexible Bead Rubber technologies

The Winter i*pike RS2 (W429) offers outstanding ice performance through its innovative Ice Slit Design technology. This feature increases the number of stud pins in contact with the road, dramatically improving grip on icy surfaces. Additionally, an empty space is strategically placed at the base of each stud pin to absorb road impact, extending tire life and optimizing performance on frozen pavement.

On snow, the tire delivers remarkable traction thanks to claw-shaped tread edges and a step-down structure along the sidewalls. These features boost lateral grip by increasing the surface area and edges that interact with deep snow. This design allows for more controlled handling in soft or packed snow, reducing slippage and maintaining stability during cornering and braking.

When it comes to durability and ride comfort, the Winter i*pike RS2 (W429) stands out. The UHT Belt technology reinforces the tire’s internal structure, improving high-speed handling and puncture resistance. Meanwhile, the High Flexible Bead Rubber enhances bead durability and effectively dampens road vibrations. The result is a more comfortable, smoother driving experience without compromising on toughness and resilience.
