I did my research on Hankook Ice Bear W300 and didn't really get a good review about them. Basicly they are good for Toronto folks who are not going to be driving on snow packed roads.


Just some quotes:

-"Whatever you do dont get the w300...u might aswell use ur proxies...chances r in snow over 1" the proxies will out perform the w300...not sure about your other choices but if you are lookin for some fun on ice and snow keep it skinny"


-"I've owned both, and here is how I would compare them:

If your snow driving consists mostly of light snow, wet roads, and a lot of around city driving, the W300s would be the best choice. They handle quite well for a snow tire, but they do wear fairly quick.

If you do a lot of deep snow driving, travel the mountain passes, or just get a lot of snow in your area, the W409s would be the best pick. They handle very well in the dry, but not quite as well as the W300. In deep snow the W409s are a step above the W300s though.

I ski and snowboard a lot so I drive the mountain passes and encounter deep snow more than the average person, so I current run W409s. If I didn't ski/snowboard and mainly drive around town, I'd definitely have W300s on my car."

-"I have owned the ice bears. They do not like snow, and braking on ice is like a slip'n slide. I have opted for the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 this time on the new car. 225/45/17. Should be great fun."


Just thowing it out there. Basicly I need a nice snow tire that is good for snow roads. Do not care about perfomance as well.
