SuperCleanLGT Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 We just got our first measurable snow. Got to test the new Hankook ice bear W300s. I can't be any happier with them. I felt bad for a few suvs. The RE92s weren't as bad as some make them out but the W300s are great. They handle much better than my wife's Yokohama snows on dry and snowy roads. Sorry for rambling, I am just glad to finally test them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperCleanLGT Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yeah I am looking forward to spring as well. I will be leaving these tires on the stock wheels and going w/ 18x8 black mesh w/ polished lips w/ summer tires. (tax return) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually still happy with the re92s with 17000 miles on them on my wife's LGT....I drove it to work yesterday and really had no problems. I'm sure when I'm at your mileage on the re92s, I'll be ready for a swap. How did the 205/50/17 fit? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molal24 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yeah I must admit snow sucks. Toledo has gotten a record snowfall of 31 inches in January alone. I loved driving in the snow the first couple times but I think I'm ready for the spring and seeing my car clean and fully detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCleanLGT Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 To Joe, first off thank you, the tires fit great, in fact that is what discounttire recomends for our car. My Re92s werent even bad but I knew I would be getting new wheels/tires this spring so I just got new winter tires for this year. Bring on the snow.

The icebears are a v-rated snow tire, and in the dry I thought they handled far better than the old RE92s. That v-rating does have consequences though, primarily a slight loss in traction compared to a normal winter rated tire. Also the icebear is more of an ice radial than a snow tire, but with AWD this shouldn't pose much of a problem unless you try to plow through 3 feet of snow! Glad you like them!
