It was about time the winter Hankook Icebears were given a rest  :signLOL:

Very limited stock availability when i was looking around, ordered friday at 1540 from Lovetyres, arrived monday morning at 0930, cant complain.



Have put them on the back for now, will have to wear down the Sessanta's a little more before i get another pair.  :happy2:

My Hankook Icebears are coming off tomorrow, too. I'll be flogging them and getting something less crap for next winter. Positively dangerous in the wet!

I've run them for the last 2 winters and they have been great Simon even in the wet. Are your wheels pointing in the right direction?  :surprised:

Had em off this morning and it seems I have Hankooks on the front and some other Tingtong make on the back. The fronts look the same as when they were fitted and the rears are nearly bald. I guess it was the rears that were sliding about, but I did suffer with terrible understeer and 4 wheel drifts on wet roundabouts, so the fronts weren't a lot better. I'll be getting the Contis that won all the tests this year instead.

The Hankooks had a 300 in the model number, but not at home now to double check...

Icebear W300?

I have found them to be ok, but i have not had any spirited drives in the winter weather, it has just allowed me to safely get to work each day.  Had some Lassa snoways on my mk4 anni that were brilliant, shame they didnt fit the Eddie. The 'Icebears' have done two winters and about 7k now, still a good 6mm left.  :happy2:

Not from me they don't!

The tyres I had fitted didn't like crossing the white lines either. Whilst overtaking the car would get all squirrely when you hit the centre lines with the pedal to the metal.

Maybe I'm expecting too much of them, but I expect a tyre marked M+S to work in the wet, too. And they do not do this...
