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
