Surely even in the winter you have many days where you drive like a maniac....how do they handle when you drive like that???
With 350-360whp me being a 'maniac' in the winter is not a good idea...well I actually refrain most of the 365 days of the year.
They handle exactly like photoman said, squishy. The siping in the tread blocks means that in the non-winter months you will see excessive treadwear and will also see the squishing of the treadblocks as previously mentioned. I never go pedal to the floor from a dig with these tires as there is nothing but broken traction all the way through 1st and 2nd...
I would definitely suggest the Hankooks for summer tires. I have the Hankooks on in the summer and Blizzaks on in the winter. A small price to pay to enjoy my car year round.
