2nd year running on winter tyres from seeing how much of a difference they give! You fell safe to drive and you know you will stop before the lamp post! Hancook were slightly less money compared to others and they are proving to be really good. Superb at going through water on road with no dragging, would recommend!!!!

My first experience of winter tyres and what a difference. We were they only car in our street that could get up the hill and onto the main road. Used from October to March covering just over 4000 miles. Fitted to FWD Corsa for approx £75 each. Excellent tyre and will be buying again this year for my Golf.

Only done ~1000miles so far, but the Hankooks are a dramatic improvment over summer tyres in the current cold/wet conditions. Dry handling seems fine, if a little less precise than summer tyres. Haven't driven on snow as yet, so no feedback on this.

Own 2006 a3 tdi quattro on sports suspension. Car handles very neutrally on standard summer 225 45 r17 wheels BUT quattro or no quattro poor on slushy snowy surfaces especially on hilly Yorkshire roads. Once 205 55 r16 alloys fitted with Hankook winter tyres ESP has never kicked in and truly amazing snow ice performance. Driven past many bemused dedicated 4wd vehicles running I suspect the wrong tyre. Performs as well as if not better than leading brand winter tyres. Will never drive summer tyres in colder conditions again. Excellent tyre at £70 per corner fitted.

These are quality yet reasonably priced winter tyres. Thanks to the recent wintry weather, I have now driven them in all conditions dry, wet, snow and ice. Found them excellent in the snow, and very predictable on ice. They really give you a feeling of safety in these wintry conditions.
Cannot comment on wear yet as only been on the car for a relatively short period.

Good performances on wet, I haven't had the chance to test these tyres on snow yet.
Quality/price ratio is very good, I would probably buy again.
