Hankook Icebear?
That's what it seems to say on my front tyres now.  I have no idea if it's good or bad, but 48 hours on I'm still alive!
Rolfe.
Hankook make some good tyres...although Asker won't approve as they aren't a 'Permium' maker... but I'd say you'll be just fine on those tyres.
They will be vastly better than your old summer tyres...as you've experienced.
Ive used hankook tyres on the mk1 for many many years now. I found them a good tyre myself on that car. :undecided:

I better not mension that family members are running Nankang snows then or he may have a hart attack  :grin:

The main roads in and around us were exactly the same this morning as the backstreet. No gritters nothing. :sad:

OMG :rolleyes: the snow here is the same as in Snoops photo hence 'snap'.  And I don't have my new tyres on as yet hence no rubber. Are you keeping up? :laugh:

We had another 2" of snow ovenight and temps here at the moment are around -0.5°C and dropping. It feels like it's going to be a long, hard winter  :sad:
