Loving it so far. Feel pretty confident on thick snow, cold and icy conditions despite driving in a RWD vehicle with low ground clearance (BMW). They look great too (if you care) and the ride is very comfortable. Price point was perfect when compared to other retailers, especially with the installation fee reduction.

Very good winter tires. Not super long treadlife but they were built to suit winter conditions. And they do well at that

Great winter tires at a reasonable cost, run em year round without excessive wear during the warm summer days. They wear out I'll replace them with the same tire. I recommend them for Wisconsin/Michigan and Minnesota severe winter conditions.

have put on 3000 miles so far in winter conditions. snow traction is good bordering on great. ice traction is some of the best i've seen short of a studded snow tire. time will tell for tread life-too soon to say

My 2nd set. 235/60R16 on a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. Love these in the winter, they're awesome in the snow and ice but only ok in the rain, pretty quiet except when stopping hard. I got about 25,000 miles out of my first set but I drive pretty aggressively.

I went from 215/65R16 to 235/60R16 on my Dodge Grand Caravan. Dry handling in the summer is awesome. Off ramps at 50 plus is no problem. I tried that on a damp day, not even raining and almost ended up in the ditch. I know, it's a minivan, but with my last set of 3/4 worn out Michelin Defenders it was like a cart on rails. The Hankook winter tread definitely loses the traction in the rain but in the snow they are great. Pretty good even on ice without studs. Tread life, I'll be honest and say I didn't take them off in the summer but, 25,000 miles... Maybe I should invest next year in a set of summer tires, Highway tread with a high mileage treadlife warranty. They must be pretty good for the price though cause I just bought another set.
