[s-cars] Wot Winter Tires??

[Harold McComas]

2 From recent personal experience, both were relatively cheap at the time.

More aggressive tread: Generals

Less aggressive; Hankook ice bears, which I believe are now called : i*cept 
Evo ( not totally sure on that)

Hankook's i*Pike looks like an Hakka copy.

Here in NH , 24 hrs after snowfall we are down to pavenment. Between snow 
events driving on pavement.  Hate the yo-yo temps ( just above freezing temp 
in the day, below nights) bringing black ice.

Speaking of snows, need to switch over soon.
