FS: 4x 195/55R15 Hankook Icebear W300 Winter Tires

Update: Sold! Thanks everyone.

FS: 4x 195/55R15 Hankook IceBear W300 High Performance Winter Tires
Fits: 15 x 5.5-6"
Tread: 60-70%

This was a great winter city driver for me. It's very predictable in all driving conditions and you can hardly feel any hydroplaning at all. It's road noise and comfort (especially on the highway) is quieter than the Gislaved Nord*Frost 5's that replaced it (unfortunately due to potentially more out-of-city driving this year). It's more stable in the corners than the Gislaved's for sure.

You won't be disappointed. In the winter 2 years ago when we had a large dump of snow, it got me around the city no problem including one time where I had to take a friend home up through SFU (unplowed with 4 people) after his car got stranded at his parent's place (near the hills that lead down to South Marine Drive). It also performs well in the wet. Basically it's a performance rain tire that can take the type of snow we get in Vancouver. It feels just like a summer tire with a tad less grip.

Basically this tire should last at the very least another year (depending on how and how far you drive) if not 2 or more.

**SOLD**.

Tread depth is 7-8/32" all around. It should be 11/32" new (or more as most winter tires). There is very little camber wear (it's measurable, but not noticeable - no more than 1/32" difference). They have only been driven in the winter (goes on around October and comes off around March). One of the tires has a single plug in it, but none of them leak.

This size is unlisted at 1010tires.com, but they should be ~$115 each new. 4 tires after levies and taxes should be ~$540.

As usual, PM offers. Most offers will be considered. Thanks.
