[s-cars] Hankook Winter Tires (totally out of season)

[Jerry Scott]

I have the W300's on a 93 S4 and a 02 WRX.  They have been great Winter 
tires on both cars.  They may not be as aggressive as some snow tires, but 
they are quiet, wear well, and have very good traction in all snow 
conditions.  It's the best tire that I have had in a long time. I've had no 
experience with the WS6.
