Hankook Icebear W300

" Maxima SE -Speed - These are good snow tires. They are also pretty good in the rain. DO NOT HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVE WITH THESE TIRES. They loose grip too easily, the tires are too soft for high performance driving. I tried a hard slow down before a curve and the car swayed left to right before I caught it by turning into the swerves. Scary to say the least."

"VW Golf TDI - Just drove out of our neighborhood and to the Toronto Airport, through drifting snow nearly a foot deep, to snow and ice covered roads for an hour. The tires gave good traction throughout and allowed me to plow through deep snow that could have stranded most vehiceles. Felt confident driving with these tires."

"05 STi - Decent winter tires with a good wet and dry traction. They are OK in a deep snow, but not great - tend to wonder a bit. My previous winters were Pirelli WinterSport 210, which were pretty close to W300, but had better snow traction."

"Good tire when new but siping pattern and design is very poor. After very little use, the tire wears and performs worse than typical all seasons. Good for about 5000 Miles but that's it. they still have a huge amount of tread but the siping becomes almost totally ineffective."

"2003 VW Eurovan Weekender - Replacement for OE Michelins at a third less cost with 102load rating and H speed rating. Great in the rain and dry, since we only get snow about every 10 years in South Texas I can't say about that. Very satisfied after 5000 miles. Very secure feeling in wet weather. An outstanding tire for my van."

"2004 VW R32 - Excellent winter tire. Good for a low profile tire in snow/sleet. Very good in wet conditions. Decent enough for dry roads, especially for a winter weather tire. Hard to beat for the price!"

"2003 Dodge SRT-4 - 225/45/R17 - Tires have been great but wore out in just 9 months, 12,000 miles. Amazing water and snow traction though, just wish they lasted longer. Don't run these through the summer."

"Q45 - 245/45/18 - I just bought four new Icebear tires, good price, quiet on dry pavement, and a good ride, impressive so far. The agressive looking tread should do well in snow. I'm pleased so far. Recommendation, write down the DOT number on the INSIDE of the tire before mounting as you must have this number to "register" your tires with Hankook for recall notices, I had to forgo the registration.

"Audi a4 - 16 - 96 Audi A4 QUATTRO these tires were almost half the price of blizzaks and performed just as well. I slid off the road one night coming home from a poker game while it was snowing and almost went through the window of a porsche dealership but was able to stop a few feet short on the building. I did damage the front driverside tire on that little stunt but it was 10 degees out and i was only 1 mile from home so i rolled on it and replaced it with a blizzak. drove these all summer too overall 9/10.

" 05 Mits Lancer Evolution - 235/45/17 - What a difference in noise and ride. It felt like I was in a totally different car. I drove in lightly snow covered road and handled like dry pavement. I would recomend this tire to any high performance car owner "

"2004 Sienna - 215 65R 16" wheels - I just had these tires put on my vehicle and have only driven with them for a few days but I found them very good in winter conditions. We just returned from a trip of ~200 miles return in wintery conditions and was very satisfied."
