Hankook Icebear installed!

lyjw88 · 11-09-2007, 02:52 PM

Since the temperature conctantly gets below 7C, I decided to throw my
Hankook icebears on!
I drove it around for a while and the handling is sooooooooo much better
than those performance RFTs.

I just swapped the tires on my OEM 18" wheels and went with 255 for rear, cause I hate how stretched tires look.
If you are thinking of getting a set of Icebears, I'd say go for it!!
I'll post another review when it snows here in boston

I just ordered a set of these. Glad to hear they improve the handling. Let us know how they do in the snow.

Glad to hear they're working out.

I think Hankook is an extremely underrated brand, with an excellent tire. When I do eventually get wheels, they're going to be my first choice.

They're underrated because they're relatively new to the NA market. In Europe they're a really popular brand. I've been using Icebears for years and love them.
