On Snows, I have been very happy with the Hankook W400s. They are not going to have the ultimate ice traction of a Blizzak, but can handle the heat of our long dry spells between storms like a champ and in our Reno snow and treks to the resorts were great.

They have been on the Audi for 3-4 seasons now and still not down to the winter bars and that is with a number of dry road trips on them as well.

Tread blocks are large, but heavily sipped. I also think they are going to make a pretty good 3 season when they do get down to the winter bars.

I would buy them again in a second. I do wish TR would pick up the Hankook line so we could see some side by side comparisons for the entire lineup. DT does carry them, so they are available locally with ease.

On all seasons, the DWSs do look very promising. It will be interesting to see how Carrie feels about them in the snow on the limited.
