One of the best premium winter tyres at an affordable price. It is safe and pleasant to drive in both wet and dry conditions, and excels in snow. Very low noise (much less than the Bridgestone summer tyres I have on my car).

I can't comment on tread life yet as I've only had the tires about a month now, but in terms of wet and snow performance they're awesome. They're snow tires so of course they're going to have some road noise, but all in all these are decently quiet. I've owned a few different types of Hankook tires now and can honestly say I'd recommend them all.

Best tires I've had on a car highly recommend

This is a great tire, my second set.

Great value for winter tires, especially when you get about 10 real snows throughout the winter, but the rest of the time it is either plowed or dry. And when the pavement is dry you can still go around a corner without the tires feeling like marshmallows.

Bought these for my 2007 Porsche Cayman base in 225 and 245/45-18. Drove in two storms the first week, one was snow and the other was ice and snow. This is my 8th winter with this car in Northern New York driving in hills, on the highway and on back roads. These tires might be the best yet and the price was right. Definitely recommend.

I can't say much regarding w eaa ar on these tires yet. Haven't put more then 5 miles on them. They are very quiet for a winter tire and handle quite well in all conditions. I havent had a chance to try them in deep snow just a few light dusting of under a quarter inch. I will edit this post once I have had a chance to really test them out in some deep snow

I am impressed on how well this tire handles the ice and show. I'm very pleased with this purchase. Thank you Simpletire. Was not happy with the Firestone store location I picked for installation, it was not the best experience. I should have payed more attention to the bad reviews. They put my car up in the air and just let it set there for about 1 1/2 hours, they took a walk in customer before attending to my scheduled appointment. I sat there and watched them play around talk and visit the majority of this time, the customer service was terrible. It wasn't until I became aggressive and told them I have work awaiting my arrival that they started working on my car. Not even sure why they put it up on a lift. Very strange.

They were ok. I drive a 2011 VW Jetta SEL. I live in VT on a very snowy, decently steap back road. 1st year, (last year @ $133/per tire (225/45/17)) was ok. Spun a bit on dirt roads with 3-4 inches of snow but made it home. Didnt even put 3k miles on my tires before changing and they're already junk on a dusting. Wouldnt reccomend if you want to keep for more than a season.

Tires look sporty and perform well in a variety of weather conditions. I can't comment on the tread life because they are fairly new.
