Can somebody share their experiences with the factory Hankook Summer All Season Tires that are on the vehicle with Winter driving?
The owners manual suggests switching to a winter tire for better traction. I then went to a tire review website and looked up this tire. It states that it is a good Summer and wet weather tire with solid traction and control. Then the review went on to say how cold weather traction and control, (below 40 degrees F), is not so good. The review suggested using an All Season tire rated better for Winter driving or switching to Winter tires.
I am considering buying Winter tires and switching back and forth each year. A little frustrating that I may have to do this with an AWD car. Typically AWD in a Cross Over is for Wintery type driving. I would expect a tire which is designed for the seasonal extremes.
I appreciate any input on this topic before I buy tires - Garby
