I got the Hankooks in the stock 185 size because I thought I was
going to be using manual steering.  I've reconsidered so as to take
the stress of the universal-joint that's in the power-steering
transmission line but of course I still have the tires.  I'm quite
pleased, and in particular I was quite impressed with how
comparatively well they did in the snow.  Not great, but a lot better
than I'm used to with Michelin 4-season tires, which have been in a
word atrocious.

Yours,
David
