Best snow tires?

[dwaleke]

That Hankook tire is a summer performance tire and not designed to be used in the snow.

This thread is about snow tires.

OP - I just got Blizzak LM-32s installed on my GT PP wheels. I have yet to drive on them. I will report back.

I had Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4s on my Audi S4 and they were great tires, but AWD in the Audi really helps in the snow.

Sorry poor copy n paste .. Hankook iCept Evo W310 Winter Tire. 255 40r19
Also getting 19" tires there is a long back order of most brands as its not a popular tire in BC Canada

Thank you for clarifying.

Out of curiosity what makes the Hankook iCept Evo W310 better than the other performance winter tires? Or are you just convinced they are just better than all season tires (which I would agree).

Tire dealer explained that the Pirellis that come on the car are exceptional tires, great rubber compound. Switching to an all season won't make much difference because when the temp drops to 10 c and lower the rubber hardens and control, comfort and performance suffer. To be safe, comfortable and still have performance the Hankook w310 winter are a great choice. I'm only relaying what I was told by the tire experts. The choice for me to get different Winter tires is very limited at this moment. No stock. He was suprised the Hankooks were available as they usually are sold out to ice racers in Ontario and Manitoba by this time of the year.

I had want wanted to buy a more expensive Perilli and was advised not to go that route.
